        Being rich makes all of his motives and desires suspect, if he told me the sky was blue then I’d assume he pulled some kind of Lex Luthor shit and turned it purple and green until I could check for myself.

        That’s not the kind of person we want running the country. In fact, that is the kind of person who should be kept very far away from the political process except when it’s investigating reports of malfeasance at his companies.
