How did this buffoon become a billionaire?

It's an american dream and world's nightmare. It’s a miracle of neoliberal capitalism and a market manipulation driven ecosystem that helps thrive people like him, and indeed most market success story in India too is about little Trumps, the burgeoning millionaires adept in multiplying money with least of any other known competence, that market media celebrates as part rising India. It’s about exaggerations, clever opportunism, creating perceptions and manipulations preying on people's insecurities and emotions while cementing primitiveness, and ofcourse being loud mouth is to be a leader while bullshitting is sales pitch. 

The feudal squatter ensconced sleazy worldviews and diversity celebration is the germination point of bullshit artists. Lies are passé. Lies need effort and counter logic, or atleast some concern for the other. Bullshitting is fun, it’s about bulldozing with impunity of power, and arrogance filled essentialities. It is this market's paradise that makes India so very investment friendly. It has lots of scope with religion’s balderdash (now elevated as defining identity and beginning point of human rights in pretentious West) and miracle seeking superstition is fitting well in neoliberal assurance. Clearly therefore caste based communities are now established facts in this putrefying society, hence the drivel is for equality of opportunity. Aw. Market's soothing balm and a promise. The impunity of this bullshitting is where the charm of mahatmas and pundits come handy. It’s an awe inspiring ‘unity in diversity’ world. One wonders why other societies are not so diverse and happy in the mediocrity muck that celebrates all forms of degradations (and it infects as they migrate to other parts of the world), and still has amazing audacity for higher claims. Meanwhile con artists take bullshitting to next level as they pose as leaders, intellectuals, journalists, writers, artists and whatnot with market inspired mediocrity and debauched blessings straight from sanctum (no queues needed) as they spread self affirming worldview with characteristic ease. Some even taking out time to exhibit occasional pangs of conscience as they furiously stampede for the grab, its a hint of high moral grounds that they salivate to scale (an after thought of 'dalit issue').  

 …so why am I not a multibillionaire yet? Seriously.
