10. His comment on not paying taxes was the litmus test for every other rotten deed in his life

He's convinced that "rules" and the concept of "illegal" versus "legal" is there for everyone else. Having a daddy who paid a doctor for a false bone spurs diagnosis to keep Richie Rich out of Vietnam also made him "smart."

Trump: ‘I’m smart’ for not paying taxes

By Daniella Diaz, CNN

Updated 12:39 PM EDT, Tue September 27, 2016

Clinton was pressing Trump for not releasing his tax returns for public scrutiny. Trump has said he won’t release his tax returns until a routine audit is complete, though every major party presidential candidate over the past 40 years have released tax returns.

“There is something he is hiding,” Clinton said of Trump during the debate.

“Or maybe he doesn’t want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he’s paid nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody’s ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn’t pay any federal income tax,” she said.

“That makes me smart,” Trump said.
