For years, we have been presented with a very one-sided image of the entrepreneur, the businessman, the CEO/tycoon. He has been young, attractive, dynamic, articulate, charming. He has a pretty wife and indulges in creative and bold business ventures and noble philanthropic activities. He markets useful and world-changing products and services that make our lives better. You know the stereotype: Gates, Bezos, Jobs, Branson: Hipster Billionaires with a progressive streak. The Randian ubermensch.
Trump shows us the other side. A stereotypical Capitalist Robber Baron, right out of Dickens or Sinclair, the quintessential middleman, providing luxury status symbols for other deplorable wannabees.
But he does have a pretty wife. Of course, if you can afford to replace them when they get stale, that's the easy part.
