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 ...
