The president-elect learned a skill of sort, perhaps not a skill we should admire, but it is that one weird trick that shouldn't(morally) work but do.

Is it really a skill or even a trick if it only works for one person?

Looks more like lucky circumstances exploiting a lack of education and other vices.

One could argue whether whoever you're referring to is "thriving" though (there was no definition supplied)

President-elect?

Why do you assume they mean that guy?

because he's the only one that people whine about like a jilted ex girlfriend
