Exactly.

And he thinks people are impressed by money. In many cases that is right. I have talked with people who think that if someone is rich, they must be smart.

I was actually going to ask if he was wrong in that assessment of people, and I agree, many if not most, people are all about the money. But it certainly is not limited to Americans.

@itsmedammit It is pretty much an American thing. Show me photos of the giant shopping malls and outlet malls in the rest of the world.

@Sticks48 I was referring to the desire for money, not necessarily shopping habits. Lots of other countries have big malls, though they are dying. Personally I shop when I want or need something, but not out of boredom. I worked hard for my money and don't like to spend it.

But anyway this is not about shopping. It is about Trump and greed.

@itsmedammit Shopping is part of greed. Owning shit you don't need is greed. Most Americans don't have the means to accumulate money, but they do have credit cards, so they run up their debt buying shit they don't need. Credit card debt in this country is $1.04 TRILLION. This is not true in other societies.

@Sticks48 So don't own stuff. Why are you arguing with me?

@itsmedammit I am not arguing with you, I am pointing out the American culture is not like any other, because it ain't like any other. The rich shop everywhere. Only in America do the middle class and lower middle class shop it's way into unbelievable debt. That is a form of greed.
