Pffffff. Uncommonly successful people are usually either utterly ruthless, slithering con-men, or a combination of the two. Trump is a ruthless con-man. That's what he has to teach us.

A disillusioned population of dumb people and a narcissistic liar who was willing and able to take advantage of that. It's not a complicated or fascinating story, nor is it a mystery.
