He breathes rarified air. Something that you and I don't even get a whiff of.
So you telling me the Trump doesn't know shit is like you telling me that Floyd Mayweather doesn't know how to box.

I like you too Robbie but you are doing here what many people do to try and win an unwinnable argument: throw false equivalencies around. Did I say that I, the great and masterful Porn Nerd, know more about business than Trump? No I did not, nor did I say Trump was incompetent when it came to business. But thinking he breathes 'rarified air' is nonsense. He's a celebrity and a genius at branding and marketing HIMSELF (and nothing more). To wit:

It's called the Peter Principle. Or, failing upwards. Give ME $20 mil to start with (and back when that was akin to $200 mil today), a blustery ego, a hungry New York media and WHAM watch me soar like Peter Pan. Trump was bankrupt many times, played with casinos and real estate (both dirty, unethical businesses here in NYC) and would pick fights with celebrities just to coattail on their PR juice.
Again, we New Yorkers "get" this while many others (Robbie included) are blinded by the word 'billionaire'. Trump is here for one thing only: to get Hillary elected. Make no mistake.
