Why Trump has got it wrong (and the Social Darwinists 101)
Investing in people will reap in rewards for society and create a wealthier nation.
Why working class people are on average just as bright, ambitious, and capable as middle and upper class people. Just give people a good chance in life with a good education, good jobs, and sufficient benefits to help them through hard times and reap the rewards. No underclass, more entrepreneurs, less alcohol and drug problems, less crime, safer communities, less money spent on police and social services, lower taxes - better everything.
And all this before we even start on neuroplasticity, the other key component to how we become who we are - where our brains physical adapt and change according to our environment and early life experiences.

You can’t say Darwin is true but Social Darwin is not...
Money makes people stupid. The more you have the stupider you become.
Why? Because your actions no longer have survival consequences. When you're poor you literally can't afford to screw up. When you're rich you just put a team of lawyers on it.
And then there is False Authority Syndrome - the idea that because someone is wealthy they are also smart, attractive, educated, socially adept/conscious, etc. This can take a variety of forms ranging from self delusion to mass hysteria.
"Money makes people stupid. The more you have the stupider you become." Also, the more you have the more you want.
“The idea that because someone is wealthy they are also smart”
Trump has that belief in spades.... might eventually prove to be his Achilles heel....
“the more you have the more you want.”
Those are the savers among us... they always want to save or “keep” ... hoard...
In Ravi Batra’s human archetype they are “the acquirers”... in apostle Paul’s Christendom they are “the evangelists”....
Formulate policy accordingly to accommodate these people...
