How about hair?

1. How about heir?

Fucker wins the sperm lottery and thinks he's a genius.

7. He's one of the exceptions.

He was talking about himself

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. +1

[Orsino]

2. With few exceptions, reality TV glorifies the most pathetic of human behaviors.

Charisma is also important, but cowardice will supersede.

[randr]

3. He is an example of how wrong his logic is.

The remark kinda sets the bar for dumb.
There are many wealthy people who are lacking both intelligence and compassion.

[sakabatou]

4. Where's my clue-by-four?

[rrneck]

5. So if

you apply your considerable intellectual gifts to fucking people over and gaming the system to stroke your own ego I guess that makes you a smart, rich asshole. Asshole.

[arcane1]

6. He's absolutely right.

I was his immense genius and intelligence that allowed him to choose to be born to wealthy parents, from whom he could inherit millions of dollars.

[Half-Century Man]

8. I'm guessing inheriting 33 million dollars plays a part.

If you are so intellectual, please submit your dissertation on Mesoamerican trade practices. Business is your self proclaimed area of expertise.

15. High stakes gambling is Trump's area of expertise

Trump makes money through extreme speculation.

The only difference between Trump at a negotiating table and you at one of his poker tables, is no one bails out the poker player.

10. Donald found the egg. That's just about where his smarts end. nt

11. Interestingly, I find my limited experience to be the exact opposite.

I've known quite a few very rich people over the years. A number of 1 percenters. And even a couple of 0.01 percenters. To a person, every single one of them were amazingly determined people, who basically worked 24/7. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to create more wealth for themselves.

And for the most part every single one of them turned out to be quite shallow and boring when a subject of conversation OTHER than the acquisition of personal wealth is being discussed. Shallow, superficial, boring and highly determined. Sounds just like The Donald. Of course, starting out with a nice inheritance certainly helps!

And naturally, most of the really really REALLY smart people I've known chose to go into the arts or journalism or academia or other fields where one does not expect to generate huge amounts of personal wealth.

So basically, The Donald has it exactly backwards. Like always.

12. Rich people are pretty much like everyone else

There are bright interesting rich people. There are dull boring rich people. Most rich people are pretty average. The difference between the ultra rich and everyone else is of course we have a whole society set up to tell us how smart they are, how hard they work, how important they are to holding society together, and how much they deserve to be wealthy.

[MisterP]

17. that's central to the new/old money distinction

old money hires artists and does coke with them in mylar-lined rooms, new money spends $500 million on an unknown painting because they have $5 bil in assets

[LadyHawkAZ]

13. Good thing there's no intelligence required to inherit

eh, Donny?

[Lint Head]

14. So fucking people over is intelligent.

Wow. Wish I had taken that college course.

[Shankapotomus]

16. But in your case it wasn't

any extraordinary intelligence on your part but the extraordinary stupidity of your customers.
