There’s a wise old saying that you should never, in polite company, discuss religion or politics. Should refrigeration be added to the list?
I’m kidding of course, but at a recent refrigeration conference a guest speaker, Ron Elving, of National Public Radio News, gave a presentation about everything that has transpired in Washington in the first eight months of the Trump administration. Elving noted that every president experiences a learning curve in what is certainly a very difficult job, but Trump’s learning curve has been, as Elving tactfully put it, more “forward-facing” than that of many other presidents. In other words, Trump’s brashness and unwillingness to follow typical political norms has engendered strong reactions from both supporters and detractors alike.
