I think you are missing the point. Self control is a source of persistence to get to goal. If you are impulsive buyer of random crap, you will not save money for a house. If you give up easily or get distracted accomplishing difficult tasks will be impossible. We all know those people and at least to me they always feel like bit of looser who openly jeopardise their own future. Trumps of this world only impress naive people of this world, people who buy how to make $1m in a year books. Trump openly employs wrestling narrative building to win popularity. It doesn't get any basic than that (i am generalising avg trump voter of course, but a man who never worked a day of hard work in his life - is a hero of blue collar, cheated on every single of his 5 wives - christian hero and maybe eveb second coming, all his businesses went bust - a true successful businessmen) Would you trust trump to run your company? or oversee anything of value?
