Didn't he also exclaim something about medical professionals asking how he knew so much, how does he understand it so well. What a lying freaking moron.
When we were kids, to "get one over" on another, we were prone to saying such things as : "yeah, so what, I have a Dad/Uncle/Cousin/Friend who can XYZ !".
With Trump, it's all about him, even with outlandish and laughable claims, he's done it all, knows it all, is the best of all...
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
Jesus Christ. Like Sarah Cooper said, he's like that annoying character Fred Armisen used to do on SNL where he'd never finish a sentence and start a new one.
I used to work with a guy with a personality EXACTLY like Trump and it was one of the most infuriating experiences of my life. He'd seen it all and done it all. He used to be better than you at literally everything, but he got bored with it after mastering it and lost interest. He was never, ever wrong and if he was it was either because something changed or somebody lied to him.
He claimed to have been a "top 10 in the world" marathon runner when he was younger. He once told me that he has proven the fucking Theory of Relativity wrong, but refuses to publish his work because he doesn't want the fame and attention. (Worry not dear scientist who might be reading this, he has "left instructions for it to be published upon his death".) Anytime I had to talk to him at his desk he would have dozens and dozens of programs, Excel sheets, browser tabs, etc. open all at the same time and would insist that he was actively working in all of them at the same time, because he was a master multitasker too. He claimed to only sleep 2 hours a night and to prove it he would show up at the factory at several different times every night just to "check in".
I've never met anyone like him before or since and in my mind him and Trump are exactly alike. Because of my experiences I feel a great deal of pity for anyone who ever tried to work for Donald Trump who was actually there for the right reasons and wanted to do the job right.

Good thing we didn't have Biden as president back then or we'd still be in complete lockdown.
Edit: Thanks for the awards
