"..because I was just so smart," worse than "You didn't build that."

"I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart."

That is another quote from the Famous Speech Heard 'Round the World. I think it is arguably even worse than the "You didn't build that,"  because it suggests envy and bitterness on the speaker's part. With the power of government behind him, he can cripple the efforts of such successful people to satisfy his resentment, and he appears to be doing so.

One also has to wonder just why he so resents success. Maybe (to engage in a little psycho-babble here) because he has not earned his success and knows it. Active druggie in high school, no telling what he did in college besides the admitted cocaine. Elected to very high office totally unprepared and inexperienced. An empty suit playing at maturity and doing the country a lot of harm in the process.
