Just curious. I'm sure there are stats that can support either side but you would think that the side with more wealthy members is probably the better party since you have to be intelligent to make alptbpf money. I honestly have no idea how the statistic on this look can anyone help me out?

It depends on how that wealth was obtained.
Earned wealth = conservative
Inherited wealth = liberal

Yes the founders of Google and Facebook and oracle and most of the tech wealth are so very conservative.

The true rich give money to all sides and get plenty in return, from all sides. The upper middle class has a somewhat conservative tilt, but it's far from monolithic.

It's a sammich.
Poor people are liberal because they want your money.
Rich people are liberal because they know how to keep poor people from getting it.

So where is most of the earned wealth coming from in the past 30 years?
Steel and coal mines?
Most of the earned wealth in the fields that have the highest wealthy people drift more towards liberal social policies.

Depends on many factors, especially if they're crony capitalists

The premise of the OP needs to be explained.
Wealth does need equal intelligence. Intelligence does not equal "right".

That is exactly what is wrong with the fricking country too, and it is unsustainable.
used to be the super rich got that way by creating something useful, like steel or railroads or cars.
The richest millenial got that way with fricking Facebook. That is useless in the long run. What a fricking contribution to the advancement of humanity.

So where does Trump fall on this spectrum?

It seems to me that it varies by profession. In general, it seems those who earn wealth through more traditional avenues and build up their wealth over time are conservative.
Those who hit the jackpot and make insane money in a short period of time are more liberal.
