Well, Lex is boring and slow. I cannot understand why he's so popular.

Anyway, some very rich people believe they have some sort of super power, not, say, a bit of a gimmick that catches on with the tasteless and dumb masses that dumped millions of $ in their laps. And as others have mentioned here, it comes with sycophant yes-men who praise every idiotic idea that the rich guy comes up with.

His bid for the Presidency is a bad joke, and the fact that some people take it seriously is very troubling.
