All the billions in the world won't buy me a piece of mind if I've been a slime-ball to get it. Trump's greatest quality (if you are going to measure success by his bank account, which I don't) is his total lack of a moral compass. Without any guiding principals, almost anything is possible. Meanwhile, the rest of us are 'inhibited' by morals, values, ethics and other concepts that those still supporting Trump will likely never fully understand.
You mean how hard you're willing to work for it, right?

Trump's intellect doesn't concern me even a fraction as much as the intellect of the people willing to vote for him.

You call being handed large sums of money by daddy, cheating investors and banks, not paying contractors, and scamming hard work?

If Trump's father had not been a wealthy and successful man, Trump would be a nobody today.

It's that simple. When you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth you can do a lot that makes you look smart, even if you aren't.

I admit that I could learn something from Trump in the "choosing to be born to rich parents" category.

He only hires the best people. And they do the heavy lifting. Problem is in politics and government he hasn't a clue as to who the best people are.

But he makes it all come together through his brilliant reality TV show direction.

Wrong. I work my ass off, and make a decent living.

I am not willing to compromise my values to make a dollar.
While I am willing to put in hours, I'm not willing to choose job over family, ever. (Yet I recognize that job supports family, so there is a balance)
I am not willing to get rich if it requires me being dishonest at the expense of others.



You knew exactly what I meant, all you had to do was read and quote my FULL post.


Many people, including Trump himself, feel that his lack of being restrained by ethics is a strength of his, and it "makes him smart". They are entitled to that belief, and frankly, I am not in a position to say they are wrong. I can only speak for myself, and for me, it's not worth it.

DJT has never taken an IQ test. He's a legend in his own mind. From what I've seen he's a second rate intelligence; smart enough to be a mildly successful con man, but not smart enough to contribute something original and useful to the world.

Trump's not a billionaire. Worth maybe $50 mil tops. Which adjusted for inflation would be about 1/10 of what he inherited.
