A Trifle

The President of the United States of America held a fundraiser last night less than a mile from where I live. I was reminded of a line from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself:

Have you outstript the rest? Are you the President?
It is a trifle, they will more than arrive there every one, and still pass on.
