i like Job's take on smart people, "you don't hire smart people to tell them what to do, you hire smart people so they can tell you what to do." this always made alot of sense to me as someone who has always been a bit above my average peers.

this is why Trump has been successful in the private sector. being "smart" doesn't make one a good leader or even a meaningful contributor. you can be brilliant and impotent at the same time because you lack the ability to wield your own talents.

right off the bat id have to disagree with trump being smart lol. i think what he meant was more along the lines of someone like trump shouldn't hire a real smart guy just to make him conform and do what trump wants the point of hiring smart people is so they can help you make your business better and find new and better ways of doing things. of course i didnt mean to come off like being smart is the end all be all of things i mean obvi look at trump lol trump may be smart depending on how you judge the characteristic is he smart like roger penrose or neil degrasse tyson hell no, but is he smart like a mega church pastor is smart where 1000's maybe 10's of thousands of people give their money so that pastor can live in a mansion, yeah ill give him that.

My biggest complaint about Trump so far is he seems to be a puppet for the Israel lobby. That's causing more permanent damage than anything else so far. That and total abandonment from the pivit to Asia....we like let China be the super power of Asia because Trump voters didn't like Obama...

Trump clearly has outsourced most of his responsibility. He was clearly in control on taxes though.

I agree with this. Even worse, we listen to the Saudis. At least Jews are smart, Saudis are camel fucking retards who happened to sit atop oil
