Not just Donald Trump, but practically everyone who has ever achieved some degree of worldly success, is a charlatan—people improvise as they go along, hoping that luck and success would conspire to be on their side until they become somebody blessed with many friends (and fiends and foes).
The biographies of many successful people reveal that when faced with hit-and-hope situations, they can’t help but to bluff or fake their way through until they make it—an oft-unspoken common denominator among many rich and famous people is that everyone is a fake at some point, when they’re still a nobody.
