In fact it's bigoted.
He is the ultimate coddled trust fund baby who has never had to take responsibility for anything that mattered. He ran his businesses into the ground, then had lawyers sort it out. He's been married several times, the women raise the kids and again the lawyers sort it out. He is irresponsible, lazy, ignorant, and self absorbed. His worst quality is his absolute sense of certainty. None of the qualities should surprise given that he has spent most of his life in a bubble with paid staff who would probably get fired for contradicting or challenging him.
We're better than trying to turn him into something ableist bigots hate. It's exactly like how he turned Obama into something xenophobes hate.
