Idealism vs Realism

Trump is like a male lion. Obama is an elephant.
An elephant is too large to be attacked by a single lion.
But a lion is too fast for an elephant to kill it. So the lion can do whatever it wants without consequences.
Basically idealist (elephant) vs realist (lion).
A realist is unprincipled in achieving success. An idealist is principled in attaining success.
I think America needs a mental fix. Find a balance between idealism and realism.
We are humans, not lions, not elephants…
