31. He is completely immoral

And he operates devoid of any sense of decency, ethics and integrity.

It isn't genius when someone does not play by the "rules" or social norms and was born into a privilege where he never has had to face the consequences for what he says and does.

People used to say Karl Rove was a "genius" and I made the same point. He was a big enough POS to not abide by normal political standards, like someone who cheats at golf or poker.
