A guy I know is the poster boy for this. He really is not very bright but his ability to convince people of shit is uncanny. In the 10 years I've known him he has never had more than a thousand bucks saved, but 5 different times he has talked other people into giving him anywhere from $50,000 to $1,000,000 for various business ventures, and of course each one of these businesses fail but it's beyond amazing people fall for his bullshit.

Yeah, I've seen guys like that too. It's a gift they have.
And yes, I think Trump has that gift as well. But he also has the knack for being very successful.
We can cherry pick his failures, but in the end he is worth 10 billion or more.
When you get on that level you have moved beyond the guy that can talk people into investing and moved in to a level that is the very top of the heap.
