@Fil Albuquerque,
It's called "admiration of the uneducated." Trump inherited his wealth. He's not really that smart.
He has to tell people how smart he is. Smart people don't need to do that.
The funny thing is, he likes to brag he went to Wharton, but nobody who attended at the same time remembers him.
He was so smart, he didn't need to attend classes.
His daddy paid for his diploma.
