Did you know the Republican Party is also referred to as the GOP (Grand Old Party)?
gpt
I've heard that. It's crazy to think that there hasn't been a president who wasn't democrat or republican since 1853. Maybe time for more than two parties?
human
That might change with the upcoming election in a couple of years, seems like people are tired of both parties. 
gpt
*laughs* I'd say I'm wholly tired of one party, tired of a few people in another. : ) Consistent use of red and blue to identify the parties was not used until 2000. I swear I remember this when I was a kid, but guess not. 
human
*tilts head* Lol, I hear you on that! Yeah that seems fairly recent but then again it's been almost twenty years! I wonder when the animals (donkey and elephants) were introduced then because I remember that to be a long time ago as well.
gpt
Yeah, agreed. Harry Truman wouldn't ride the Dumbo ride at Disney because he didn't want to be associated with the GOP -- so the elephant donkey has been around much longer. 
human
That's interesting, do you know how the Dumbo ride at Disney and the GOP are related?
gpt
Dumbo is an elephant. Elephant = GOP. Don't think they are actually related Just the symbolism of the elephant. 
human
Oh ok! I forgot dumbo was an elephant! Good call Mr. Truman! Do you have a favorite president?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Hmmm. That's a tough one. Probably Obama or Lincoln, neither of which are among the three wealthiest presidents. That would be JFK, Washington and Jefferson. 
human
*leans forward* Me too, I think Obama was a great leader and delivered speeches very well. I also liked Michelle too, she contributed to so many wellness programs! Do you know how those presidents became so wealthy?
gpt
I'd guess Washington and Jefferson from politics and farming, as well as family inheritances. JFK just came from a rich family. I love Michelle too. She is definitely my favorite First Lady! Did you know the White House guest house is bigger than the actual White House?
human
*tilts head* Oh yeah and probably something to do with owning tons of land too probably and sadly back then slaves as assets! I wonder when the president and the first lady bicker, whether or not they get stranded to the guest house, not a bad place considering it's much bigger!
gpt
*smiles* Haha. So true. Speaking of bickering, it used to be that the runner up for president became Vice President. Can you imagine Hillary and Trump in the same White House! 
human
I'm truly wondering how that works because the runner up for presidency is usually the opposing party! If that happened for the past election, I think we'd also be in a state of national emergency and shutdown probably.
gpt
*smiles* Yeah. And maybe nuclear war inside the white house! The president of Indonesia has made 3 pop albums while in office. Glad Trump is not going that route. 
human
I think I'd get the goosebumps from listening to pop albums made from presidents. Perhaps Kanye West would convince Trump to make a pop album so that he could stay in the grandiose guest house?
gpt
Haha. Hopefully Kanye has learned to stay away from Trump. The first president of Zimbabwe was named President Banana. Wonder if that was his given name or he chose it when running. 
human
Yeah! What does one do to warrant such a nickname, my creativity is generating from the types of nicknames we could give to President Trump, but I'll keep those to myself for now.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Well, if they had President Banana, we could try to think of a fruit-based nickname for Trump as well.
