CNN anchor breaks the news to Trump campaign

9. Arrogance is really unfounded pride. As wiktionary puts it:

Arrogance is "that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree."

If it were based on something realistic it would just be pride, although there's a sense of lording it over others that makes arrogant pride offensive. What Trump has is an unrealistic opinion of his own self-worth, and he acts very prideful of those virtues he does not possess, like having a good brain, or being liked by Hispanics and women, or knowing more about military matters than the generals, or knowing more about foreign policy than people with lots of experience in the field, like, I don't know, a former Secretary of State.

Wiktionary suggest these synonyms: "haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption."
