Remarkable clip from tonight where Trump explains why only rich people should be in charge of economic policy.

Trump explained, he doesn't want "a poor person" in charge of the economy.

"Why did you appoint a rich person to be in charge of the economy?" Trump "Because that’s the kind of thinking we want."

"I love all people," Trump said. "Rich or poor. But in those particular positions I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense?"

So this explains why he appointed all those rich people in his cabinet, dispite them having no knowledge and exprience. And don't forget, he also loves the "undereducated."

as always, trump is an idiot.

Well I prefer rich people that started with nothing rather than the rich that got everything handed to them without lifting a finger.  Just sayin'

Since his mouth looks like an anus I have decided everything that comes out of his mouth are fart noises. It's about as useful as what he actually says anyway.

Yes, we definitely need rich elites screwing us over. The Trump supporters will continue to show it to the damn liberals as they continue to show why they're the true laughing stock.

That's so old. Also one of the most ironic things he ever said, considering he is the world's best proof how fucking terrible and stupid rich people can be.

I prefer whomever is most knowledgeable and qualified regardless of their income

Good enough for me since most poor people can't be trusted with investments or making money ...

I feel like people are trying to make this more malicious than he otherwise intended it to be. From a logical perspective, a poor person probably wouldn't be the best person to govern an economy. Kind of an oxymoron, no?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What he said wasn't wrong no matter how much of an ass he is. Being the poster boy for capitalism helped him reach a big audience and even the candidates that are not known for being Trump or Bill gates rich aren't exactly bending over in alley ways for some spare change. Even if the political system didn't systematically prefer rich people, I honestly think most people would prefer there to be some sort of line where politicians are expected to be a certain amount of successful before going to office. Even if you don't want there to be a criteria of successful before a running of some kind, you do want someone with major, major experience in politics unlike Trump, right? Well, having major experience in politics usually nets you big bucks.

Maybe with Trump showing the worst of elitism in full force people will petition for more "underdogs" to take place in office, but I doubt it will be anyone who isn't rich. Knowledge should always be considered over dollers, but it hasn't been and won't be. And besides - let's be honest here - even if most people don't care about how rich someone is in poitics, that's because it's largely a non factor. It's expected that your some kind of rich anyways. 

I also think it's ironic who that the same people who said Trump's buisness success can be discreted because of bankruptcy, are the same people that are offended when Trump says he doesn't want a poor person running the economy. It's the same logic ...
