Please be patient and understanding when interacting with others, and avoid getting frustrated or upset if someone does not respond to your posts or if a discussion does not go as you expected. Remember that everyone is entitled to express their own perspectives. Furthermore, even when you don't entirely agree, try to benefit in some way from it.

It is fundamental to not make threats you are not willing to follow through on. Trump has backed out on so many promises and threats nobody pays attention anymore.
I am reminded of this story of raising kids...
The kids were not cleaning up their toys. The parents threatened to throw them all away unless they picked them up. Guess what, as a family they waved goodbye to all the toys as the garbage truck emptied their garbage can. Most everybody seems to understand this fundamental rule... except Trump. I can understand making this mistake once resulting in doing something you really regret, but over and over again?
