No, this cannot be justified at all. No matter how many income a person got, they should not be hired if they lack the knowledge, and qualifications for the job.

But he didn't say anything about how a person should be hired for being rich even if they don't have knowledge or qualifications, you're putting words into his mouth. Of course who Trump endorses in his mind does have qualifications, otherwise he wouldn't endorse them. And if he did say that ... 

it would be 

REALLY 

ironic

Well thats just wrong. Trump having bankruptcies isn't at all the same logic that a poor can't handle money. Trump's only thing that even remotely qualified him for being president was that he is a successful businessman, but when that comes with several bankruptcies (not to mention his father constantly bailing him out with millions and Trumps standard crooked ways) it becomes MUCH less impressive. How is that the same logic that only rich people can run an economy?!?!?

Trump is being doucebag, as normal. Being personally rich has nothing to do with being able to run a trillion dollar economy. Having money doesn't mean a person has any skills or knowledge that are needed to run an economy.

I mean I don't think Trump is qualified and i'm not really defending him - but let's be real here, we're looking at this from a very theotretical level if we're saying it's not the same logic. Everyone in politics is rich, you'd have to screw things up majorly to be poor in which case you aren't entailed to lead the economy. Now if we live in a theoretical world where everyone gets the same chance no matter how rich they are in a political system - sure! You can absolutely be smart enough to run an economy and be poor. But it's just more of a risk or liability to bet it on someone who's not in good financial status in the real world at least. If we're talking theoretical worlds, then it's a whole other story. 

It sucks because I really do believe in the idea that people can do anything as long as they're qualified, but I think people would be weary to have a person in poor financial status lead an economy, just like people were rightfully worried about a President who's only qualification was buisnesss ventures that often failed, leading a country. Also, it's kind of assumed if you can lead an entire economy, that you can probably become rich no matter your upbringing.

Too be fair though, this guy says so many dumb stuff, and this clip is like 2 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if it went past the clip. I'm just going off the video.

Considering over the decades if not centuries we've had accounts of rich people in charge catering for the Rich and less for the poor. I wouldn't say it's a big stretch.

Very much this, sucks to say it but the majority of rich people put into a position with an chance to change the way in which they line their pockets will try to sway things to help that happen.

There aren't a whole pile of Bill Gates in terms of people who are happy with just how rich they are and will leave out the pocket lining in favour of doing what's good for the general population of the planet rather than the 0's on their back account.

Wealth is all relative.

We would look stupidly rich compared to someone in Africa living on less than a dollar a day, I probably look extremely wealthy next to some forum posters.

I think the important take away is that wealth doesn't equate to intelligence.
There are a ton of multi-billionaires who are wealthy due to circumstance rather than actually had made good investments or worked hard for it.

Yet a parent who is working on the (bullshit) $7 an hour minimum US wage and still manages to pay all their bills, feed their children... Are probably far more thrifty with money than someone born into privileged circumstance.

What Trump should do is appoint people based on merit, not on wealth. He should have drained the swamp, not filled it up twice as high with sharks.

Donald Trump being classist does not surprise me at all, that's a prerequisite for the job.

Could you post in this thread for me? Pretty please?
