I'm a pessimist, and I say getting a billion dollars transferred from a random guy, along with a yacht trip, sounds a little far fetched.
But you never know. Miracles do happen.

Still, if I was promised such an amazing gift from someone, I would be hoping it was true as well.

After watching a video on how Trump may have gained his fame through memes and into presidency, I don't know how to feel about that.
What a weird world we live in.

The idea that Trump gained his fame through memes is largely due to observation of a small subgroup of society and applying those observations to the larger whole, being the research a equivalent of a hasty generalization. Trump was able to to gain his major political push by keeping his political goals simple, and tailoring his speeches to his audience at the time. When he appealed to the center left he shifted left, when he appealed to the right he shifted right. He focused primarily on peoples fears, and offered an "outsider" to the current political sphere, despite himself being dining buddies with most of Washington and being involved in the same bankrolling practices as every other wealthy elite. His propaganda was succinct and approachable, not using intellectual and descriptive terms that would alienate the common person. He ran at a time when the republicans had already engendered fears of immigrants in their base and leveraged that. He appealed to the economically disadvantaged with promises to bring back manufacturing jobs a reverse de-industrialization when speaking in areas that have long felt abandoned by both parties' cores due to suffering worst under market shifts. He also used the deflationary tactic of decrying all negative news and information about him as being fake, which allowed those who might have doubts based on some of his beliefs to have their own idealized personal Trump, meaning that even those who might take moral umbrage at some of his statements and actions could immediately drown such fears under the buzz of the words "Fake News".
That said, lets try not to burn down open chat.
EDIT: I said after making a lengthy political statement.

Finished watching the video. It stretches the definition of what is a meme (which isn't hard because it was a loose term coined by Richard Dawkins in one of his worst works) but is actually one of EMPLEMON's better videos.
I DON'T WANNA DOUBLE POST SO EDIT:
There is a certain pervasive chill in partaking of too many works of H.P. Lovecraft, and to find one's language as affected as one Charles Dexter Ward....
