It's time we take seriously the pathology behind billionaires.

You can't become one as a person with basic empathy. To do so is a moral failing.

Most can't. I would say Warren Buffet was level headed, has empathy, and understood he was a steward of resources.

Earlier I said "all billionaires", and that wasn't fair.

To be clear, there are some who turn Capitalism into a religion (objectivists, and the like), and to them it can be moral. They at least seek to serve a moral good, even if I disagree about the means I can appreciate that their goal is still to make the world a better place.

Trump is not one though. He is utterly devoid of morality and seeks only to fill an endless black need for external validation.
