If Mahatma Gandhi (whose measured words, quiet actions and heartfelt deeds inspired minds to think deep when I was a child) swooped down from on high, I believe his humanitarian spirit would feel need to whisper three thoughts into The Donald's ear:
"When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible"
"Be the change that you wish to see for the world"
Then, clothed in naught but a loincloth, the sage might ask the leader of the free world (clothed in a hand tailored, multi-thousand dollar suit) to ponder the role of humility in strengthening leadership, most especially when change for the better at home and abroad, remain beyond reach, overlong.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi, ˈɡæn-/;[2] 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable")[3]—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa[4]—is now used worldwide. In India, he is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father",[5] "papa"[5][6]) and Gandhiji. He is unofficially called the Father of the Nation.[7][8]
