Donald Trump finally tells the truth about something.

Unfortunately it would not be good news for America, but at least we've been warned.

Last night on “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” hosted by Ari Melbourne, there was a segment on Donald Trump in regards to how he might go about making cabinet picks based on a Speech he made back on March 30, 2016.

Trump said:

“You will find that when you become very successful, the people that you will like best are the people that are less successful because when you go to a table you can tell them all those wonderful stories and they will sit back and listen. Does that make sense to you?

Always be around unsuccessful people because everybody will respect you. Do you understand that?


These are his words exactly (including the questions after his statements). I always thought that Donald Trump was dumber than a doorknob, in spite of his always reminding everyone of how smart he is and that he went to the Wharton School of Business (in Pennysylvania).

Donald Trump is your typical narcissist who was born on 3rd base and acts like he hit a home run. He is a billionaire in spite of himself, and his four bankruptcies.

So if Trump wins the Presidency, we know that he will surround himself with people dumber than himself, because then they will be in awe of how smart he is, because they are less smart. I wonder how the people who currently work for him feel to know that he thinks so little of them and their intelligence?

I know when I'm picking a team, I want the best and smartest people on my team and I don't care if they are smarter than I am. In fact, I welcome them. (Actually I don't know anyone who doesn't, except Trump).

Also Trump stated that he doesn't have time to worry about learning about policy stuff right now because it would interfere with his preparation for his rallies. (How long could it take for him to prepare for his rallies when he always reads from the same script. He said he will worry about learning policy after he wins the election and before he's inaugurated.

...just ducky.

It would not surprise me in the least if he would not want anyone who might be perceived as smarter, or better looking. His fragile ego couldn't take it.
