Altered.

And Elph, you nailed it. He was born with a massive silver spoon in his mouth. His biggest success is turning his name into a brand via his high profile since the 80s. He's been a tabloid wet dream since his first well publicised divorce and he smartly capitalized on that. Calling him a successful businessman is silly.

These two things are in direct conflict.

It's so weird to me that people think branding and business are two different things. Some businesses get paid billions to handle other people's business's branding.

So Paris Hilton leaking a sex tape is smart business?

Now that I just typed that I actually agree now.

I guess being a successful businessman vs. knowing how to successfully run businesses is more on point.

Maybe I'm not reading this close enough but isn't winning the presidency kind of like successful by most standards?

I can't beat Jerry Garcia but I loved that psychedelic Chicano!
