    I don’t think there’s a person on the planet who would take that bet in good faith, except maybe Trump himself.

    He truly believes he’s a genius. Everyone else on the planet, including his supporters, knows deep down that he’s by far the dumbest person to hold the office.

        And rich people think they are smart, because of money, instead of luck of the draw with parents giving them money.

            Being better educated doesn’t make them smart. I know some geniuses who had to drop out of high school to work and some real dumbasses with doctorates.

            My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.

              Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.

              Straight up health problems being romanticized just because it was a problem only affecting the rich.

      Lots of Trump cultists would. Remember that most of them need to be as stupid or even more stupid than Trump to worship him so.
