The Unlikely Odds of Meeting Donald Trump: A Personal Perspective

Throughout my professional career and personal life, numerous opportunities would arise where one might assume I could meet the world-renowned figure, Donald Trump. However, my experiences and interactions have taught me that the likelihood of meeting this controversial individual is as remote as catching a glimpse of a rare snow leopard in the Himalayas.

My Background and Experiences

Paraphrasing my professional background, I served as a webmaster for several of his casino enterprises during the late 1990s. Although I was closely associated with the industry, the highest-ranking official I interacted with was a Vice President who happened to be quite amiable. We remained in touch until the millennium transition, but neither of us shared any personal connections to Mr. Trump directly. Similarly, during my decade-long attendance at various United Nations (UN) events in New York, I had the pleasure of encountering numerous current and former world leaders, but not the former President.

The Contrast with Bullies and Criminals

Metaphorically speaking, the odds of meeting Donald Trump are about as good as encountering a notorious crime boss or a mass murderer. The assertion holds true even if we consider the numerous encounters some people may have had with him; they are still incredibly rare and unlikely. In my memory, the most blatant encounter occurred at a charity dinner in Boston, where I witnessed him as a boorish individual who eventually found himself snubbed by the attendees. Such behavior only served to further tarnish his stature as he aged.

The Irrelevance of Personal Encounters

While it is possible to run into him, whether in his hotel nearby or during a mundane encounter, such an encounter would hardly be of significance. My primary motivation for mentioning these encounters is to emphasize the low likelihood of such an occurrence. If we consider the broader context, it would be akin to the chances of meeting him in prison, which are negligible unless one has a specific purpose for visiting someone incarcerated in the same facility.

There are scenarios where the probability slightly increases. For instance, if one visits a location with a high concentration of celebrities or eccentric personalities, such as his nightclub or hotel, there is an infinitesimally small chance of bumping into him. However, such an event would be more aligned with the realm of fantasy than reality.

A Personal Take on a Future Encounter

Moving on to a more humorous perspective, one might consider meeting Trump in a spiritual realm. In my personal belief, based on the perspective of certain religious groups, Trump might be working for God according to the evangelicals. In this scenario, I, as a believer in the afterlife, would expect to encounter him in the 'Sweet Bye and Bye' as my reward for saving a kitten's life. I might even attempt to prank him by securing a cloud and inviting the Lord to check up on him only to find no trace of the former President, much like finding a grease slick and feathers in a lake following an asteroid impact. The punchline would be a parody of divine displeasure, much to the amusement of those around.

From a practical standpoint, the odds of meeting Donald Trump are mathematically and realistically minuscule. Whether through professional or personal means, the likelihood remains as remote as spotting a star in the midst of a brightly lit city.
