<div class="md">
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
One sunny day in late January 2021 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where hed been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The old man said, “Okay”, and walked away.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine repeated, “Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row youve been here asking to speak to Trump. Ive told you each time that hes no longer the President and no longer resides here. Dont you get it?” The old man looked at the Marine and said, “Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The Marine snapped to attention and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir!”
