Donald Trump has been accused of believing in the “racehorse theory” of genetics, which claims some people are genetically superior to others.
...
He said: “The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development.

The PBS documentary featured clips of Mr Trump on the campaign trial claiming that he “believes in the gene thing” and saying he had a “very high aptitude”.
quote:
He said: “Well I think I was born with the drive for success because I have a certain gene.
“I'm a gene believer... Hey, when you connect two race horses, you usually end up with a fast horse.
“I had a good gene pool from the standpoint of that, so I was pretty much driven.”

Genes, aka science, requires belief now?

Of course some people have superior genetics. I don't see how that's controversial

While I am very, very glad Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, he was born on third base but thinks he hit a triple.

I believe in the gene thing.
I don't know if genetics give one person more drive over another though. I think a lot of that is learned.

This is only “news” because Trump said it. You’d have to be a blind fool to not believe in the roll genetics play.

I think it's pretty well established that the Asians got most of the good genes.

He isn’t wrong. Genetics has at least something to do with the baseline.
It’s nature+nurture.

He has also supposedly been quoted as saying that he wanted to have at least 5 children so that he would at least have one who was like him. He had a contract with his first wife, Ivanna, that she would receive bonuses for having children. I think everyone knows that his Golden Child is Ivanka.

Awesome

I believe it definitely gives you an advantage just as being born to people with health issues increases your chances of dealing with the same health problems.
However, I’m sure it’s definitely more environmental than genetics.

I’m sure good genes help. I’m more of the mind that success in life is a multifaceted. Good genes, supportive family, being around successful role models. Then again some people with the same gene luck turn out to be total shits in life, some kids without the genes turn out great.

As someone who was adopted as a baby and has met my birth mother and family, in my case, Nature >>>>>> nurture

There’s a reason every guest on Maury looks alike.
I have average genes apart from height. My SO has superior athletic genes. I’m gonna try to give my kid a leg up by not reproducing with someone inferior.

So he believes in scientific fact? Good to know. I do too.

Obviously some people have superior genetics.
Lebron James has superior athletic genetics to just about everyone in the world.
Someone like Bill Gates has superior intellectual genetics to just above everyone.
I don't know how that is even up for debate.
