They were in the middle of a discussion relating to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked President Trump if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.'

POTUS agreed to do so and asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy.'

One little boy stood up and said: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in a field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy."

"No," said Trump. "That would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explained Trump. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other child volunteered. Trump searched the room.

"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher held her breath.

In a quiet voice the boy said: "If the plane carrying you was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Trump, "That's right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says Johnny, "It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss...and you can bet your sweet ass it wouldn't be an accident either."

2. "Donald Trump was visiting a fourth grade class at a primary school."

I thought that was going to be the whole joke.

9. I guess it should read: "elementary school"

(Should I change it?)

[Beartracks]

13. I understood "primary" to be elementary. But the idea of Trump talking to children? LOLOL

3. First thought is

The orange felonious racist rapist would never visit anything with children. They are way smarter than him!

4. Little Johnnie was awesome. n/t

6. My step-monster

was a K-6 teacher back in the day......The K-6 teachers back then constantly circulated "Johnny First Grader Jokes" with other teachers.

Back then, they would run the joke off on one of those old "mimeograph" machines.....you know, the ones we used to love to sniff!
Then they would put them in each others "boxes".......they were endless, and usually incredibly funny, and sometimes very indecent....

I wonder if the K-6 teachers still circulate them????????

(In Jr. High and High school, kids would go to the mimeograph room and go thru the trash to pick out the originals that the teachers would throw in the trash. Many times, the original would be an upcoming test or quiz........Amazing that the teachers never caught on to that.............

10. The ones you could sniff were 'spirit duplicators'...

The stencils for those had the purple ink that got dissolved and printed. The mimeograph used a stencil that was cut through and used a black ink that was forced through the stencils.

11. I remember them well

especially the smell when they were first handed out.......a no cost high........

16. The whole class sniffed newly printed papers

when they are passed out in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

17. I taught both 4th and 1st grades

Until about 10 years ago. I never saw this at my school. However, when the teachers were at lunch they would say stuff like this. My favorite quote is from a fellow 1st grade teacher who was about to retire, "The nut doesn't fall from the tree" implying crazy parents produce crazy kids. We also would tell each other, "I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the news when he grows up".

5. That is champion!

14. Donald Dunce.....

15. LOL ya got me! I like the way

whomever wrote this Thinks!

[drmeow]

18. Hilarious

However, the biggest problem with this joke is Donnie Dickhead to far to stupid and ignorant to accurately identify whether something is a tragedy or not nor what it is if it isn't a tragedy! This joke suggests that the Mango Mussolini can operate at a 4th grade level - he can't!
