Billionaire Ego: Trump and Ego

billionaire ego: To understand why, consider the billionaire ego not just as mere mortals might see it but also as Trump himself understands it As Trump once put it: "People need ego; whole nations need ego."The race for the White House, then, may be Trump ultimate ego trip, guided by the same instincts he relied on in a lifetime of audacious self-promotion, ambition and risk-taking, according to Metro News. Those instincts allowed a fabulously wealthy businessman to pull off a mind meld with the economic anxieties of ordinary Americans, elbowing aside the Republican A-team and breaking every rule of modern politics to become the party presumptive presidential nominee."I play to people fantasies," Trump has acknowledged. When he thought about it, though, he decided it was true — and admitted as much in a big, big way."Almost every deal I have ever done has been at least partly for my ego," the billionaire declared in a 1995 New York Times piece titled, "What My Ego Wants, My Ego Gets."Flash forward two decades, and what 70-year-old Donald John Trump wants is the presidency. And plenty of voters fantasize about bringing some of that Trump braggadocio to the American psyche. He a champion. Trump candidacy has given rise to a whole nation of armchair analysts with their own theories to explain the man: He a bully. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
