What do you expect of Billionaires being the leaders?

In May, Trump Miami Resort Management LLC settled with 48 servers at his Miami golf resort over failing to pay overtime for a special event.
Some workers put in 20-hour days over the 10-day Passover event at Trump National Doral Miami,

That does not blame Trump however. I question the validity of reports like that. As you would to were claims made that Joe Biden does not pay his bills.

Did Elon ever have to suffer what a poor or even middle class person had to suffer?

I call being beaten up by classmates a terrible childhood. He says he was not poor, but the idea he was rich is not true.

So far the poll question shows 5 people that believe that a wealthy person born to a wealthy family can relate to the problems of the common man.

Having said that, among the 82 posts written since the OP was put up, there has not been one single posts that explains how than can be, especially with empathy and emotional support.

 

[Robert W]

Being wealthy and never having to struggle for anything is what this OP is about. How can you represent people that you never felt what they felt.

It is really silly to claim that being wealthy is a bad thing. The poor struggle. Name any of them who got very rich. They have no empathy for the wealthy so why would they want wealth?

 

[gipper]

By the way, this OP is not about him or about any of the other people. They are just potential examples. This OP is about the lack of ability to empathize with people that have lived different lives than you have. Being wealthy and never having to struggle for anything is what this OP is about. How can you represent people that you never felt what they felt.

Okay. The thing is billionaires have run the US government for decades. Rockefeller was notorious. He didn’t have to be potus or in the administration. He just bought them with his massive wealth. This continues today and is just as harmful to 90% of Americans.

Somehow many Americans are completely unaware of this.

And this kind of slur is why so many elected Trump. We don't believe you bullshitters.

Trump cheats people.

That's not a slur, that's a fact.

Yes, a lot of entitled dipshits spin a fable of poverty, with the wind blowing through the walls of their shack and having to eat with the pigs out of a trough.

Musk's parents sent him to the University of Pretoria, then the University of Pennsylvania, and then Stanford (where he never enrolled in any classes).

Poor, poor trust fund baby!

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The fact is, the days when a man with humble beginnings like Abraham Lincoln can become president are long, long gone.

It takes nearly a billion dollars to get elected president nowadays. For a job which pays $400,000 a year.

I know at this exact moment some of Trump's cult are thinking about how he donated his White House salary.

But you can be sure they never, EVER think about the $8,000,000,000,000 he added to our debt.

Trump would have to be president for 20 MILLION YEARS to break even. And he would have to not add another penny to the debt in all that time.


You have to be VERY wealthy, and have a lot of rich friends and hangers-on, to get elected to ANY federal office these days.

Here's a shock. Over $15 billion was spent on elections this year.

You think those billionaire donors don't expect something in return?


This is the Age of Grift.

Kommie spent a billion dollars in three months and lost bigly.
Hahahahahaaaaa!

 

[g5000]

Kommie spent a billion dollars in three months and lost bigly.
Hahahahahaaaaa!

Trump had a year head start.

Also, the media just can't stop themselves from feeding the troll. I blame the media more than anyone else for Trump's political success.

For example, Trump was bitter and depressed Biden bowed out, and even more upset at the rapid momentum Harris acquired. He was getting his ass kicked and didn't like it.

Then came the debate.

Everyone knows Trump got his ass beat hard by Harris in the debate, but what is the one and only thing everyone remembers about it?

"They're eating THE DAWGS!"

Instead of just leaving that racist bullshit be, the media fed that troll and harped on it for WEEKS.

Which meant no one was talking about Harris any more.

Trump has always known exactly what to do to make the conversation about him.

The Democrats did not lose for all the stupid reasons everyone is giving. DEI, wokism, whatever.

Trump won for the very same reason he won in 2016.

The fat troll knows how to get the media to feed him.

Here is the AI generated answer to your question:

According to research, the probability of a wealthy person fully empathizing with the experiences of a poor or middle class person is considered to be relatively low due to the significant differences in lifestyle, daily challenges, and perspectives that come with socioeconomic disparity; studies often show that wealthier individuals may have a harder time accurately understanding the struggles faced by those in poverty or even the middle class, potentially limiting their ability to fully empathize.

USA TODAY exclusive: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills

Among those who say billionaire didn't pay: dishwashers, painters, waiters

www.usatoday.com

Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills

At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast.

Poor, poor trust fund baby!

It is not his parents that had a lot of money but rather him. He had no trust fund nor would he need one with his near half trillion wealth
Stop lying and particularly incredibly ignorantly so

Here is the AI generated answer to your question:

According to research, the probability of a wealthy person fully empathizing with the experiences of a poor or middle class person is considered to be relatively low due to the significant differences in lifestyle, daily challenges, and perspectives that come with socioeconomic disparity; studies often show that wealthier individuals may have a harder time accurately understanding the struggles faced by those in poverty or even the middle class, potentially limiting their ability to fully empathize.

I never tried to understand poverty. It was all around me. i did understand avoiding it. So responsible that it’s racist

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I truly have a question that I would like to discuss. It is more of a general question but it does apply now.

What do you expect from Billionaires that are leaders, especially those that grew up in wealthy homes having everything they needed from the get go? Do you expect them to understand the travails, obstacles, hardships, needs of the middle and poor class? Be able to relate empathize to them in a way that is real?

In the case of Trump and of Musk, these are two leaders that were born rich and never had to experience the travails of a poor man or even of the middle class person. Can such a person understand and feel what the poor and middle class person had to go through to pay their bills, take care of their family, make sure there was food on the table, that they had health insurance and that the medical bills got paid? Did they ever have to experience racism, bullying, injustice, and life's pain as they grew up? Ever have to have 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet?

I want to now talk history and about some of the great leaders history has brought us.

Here are 5 that I found on Google

1) Mahatma Gandhi
2) Martin Luther King Jr.
3) Abraham Lincoln
4) Nelson Mandela
5) Winston Churchill

Did any of these people come from wealthy families? were they wealthy themselves? No, they weren't!

On the other side of the coin, here are 4 leaders that were among the richest of all time and see the havoc they wrought on their people

1) Augustus Caesar
2) Cosimo de Medici
3) Mansa Musa
4) Genghis Khan

I am not saying that wealthiness prevents someone from being a great leader, given that JF Kennedy was born to a rich family and was rich himself and was a good president. Nonetheless, there are several things that are "rarely" taught in rich families that are necessary ingredients that a leader must have. They are:

1. Character and Integrity: Great leaders have unwavering character and integrity. They stick to their values and principles even when the decision is tough. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln exemplified this and led their followers with honesty and moral courage.
2. Vision and Strategy: A great leader has a clear vision for the future and the strategic thinking to make it happen. Jeff Bezos, for example, has disrupted the retail industry with his long-term view and innovative strategies at Amazon.
3. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Leaders who understand and connect with their followers’ emotions can inspire and motivate like no one else. Martin Luther King Jr.’s empathetic approach and communication skills were key to the civil rights movement.
4. Resilience and Perseverance: Great leadership requires the ability to withstand tough times and persevere through adversity. Nelson Mandela’s commitment to justice and equality despite decades of imprisonment shows incredible resilience.
5. Impact and Legacy: Ultimately, a leader’s greatness is measured by the impact they have on their organization, community, or the world. The greatest leaders leave a legacy that continues to inspire and influence long after they are gone.

Of these 5 attributes, there are two that neither Trump nor Musk possess and that is Character and Integrity and Empathy and Emotional Intelligence. Without those two, the leader is very limited in what he will be able to accomplish "for the people"

As such, my view is that these two leaders we now have cannot become great for our nation. Having said that, I want to hear your views but your views need to be based on the fact that both of these men were born to wealthy families and never had to go through what you and I went through. How can they empathize with us without having some personal benefit to themselves as first priority? Have money, fame and power as their top priority?

The Founding Fathers were, for the most part, wealthy. And they gave up EVERYTHING for this country. So my answer is YES

The billionaires control both criminal gangs, but the dupes of the uniparty think only the side they oppose is controlled.

Amazing how ignorant uniparty dupes are.
