You left out one component. Trump was handed 14 million from his father, and spent 50 years -- !!-- surrounding himself with yes-men. Half his time was spent dreaming of getting revenge on some entrepreneur who did not kiss his feet. He was accountable to no-one, not even the banks who loaned him money. He has never accepted 10 seconds of loyal critique. And yes, he's functionally illiterate. It's all documented by his 1st wife and by his biographer. There couldn't be anyone in the world less qualified to lead the great American republic than Donald Trump.
