Re: I love it!
Yes. He seems like a very capable and exceptional man, one capable of clawing his way to the top no matter who or what stood in his way. So was Josef Stalin.
Men like that very often have nothing but contempt for people who aren't just like them. They think them weak, cowardly, and morally deficient. His arrogant and uncompassionate comments concerning those who haven't had his success in the business world only tend to corroborate that.
There is one thing about him I do find extremely admirable. He was originally trained as a mathematician. But how could anyone with a talent for mathematics ever go into business? I suppose that goes a long way to explaining his later attraction to politics.
