“My loving children, my children who were created with God's beauty, my wise children, whatever difficulty you may have, do not ever leave His charge. Just as the prophets of God kept their faith firm and were tolerant in spite of the problems they had, no matter what difficulties you may experience, be tolerant, be forbearant and embrace all living things as your own life.”

“I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will.”

Barack Obama (1961) 44th President of the United States of America

"Race and Rights Rhetoric", a law school paper, as quoted in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama (2017) by David Garrow, and reported in "Young Obama Said the American Dream Is to Be Donald Trump", Vice (12 May 2017) https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/young-obama-said-the-american-dream-is-to-be-donald-trump
