22. Being born to great wealth makes the perks of wealth seem ho hum.

It is taken for granted and leaves him out of touch with ordinary people. There is no real joy in the money except as a useful tool to exert power over others. It has lent an air of superiority that he has not earned and it has fed his ego. It has kept him separate from everyone else who i am sure he suspects are just after him for the money.

Having money his whole life means he is always right and no one dare tell him differently. I believe this is why he is so vengeful and thin skinned. He has only disdain for the rest of us! We are animals to be manipulated into doing his will. Lies are ok because we are all stupid sheep and deserve to be fleeced by the wolf (Trump).
