I don't trust a single thing that the world's most successful snake oil salesman of all time says.

I'm not sure I'd give him the #1 position. Definitely up there, but not quite at the top. Or maybe several megagrifters should share the throne.

Battle Royale of the megagrifters for the throne? Would surely sell some tickets, too. :3
