That's why one should not trust billionaires who make noises about changing the world for the better. It is merely to stoke their egos. I'm not even religious anymore but I still remember being taught that it is better to share the success without bragging about it. There are genuinely good rich folks, but they don't brag about how nice they are. Chuck Feeney, the billionaire founder of Duty Free, quietly donated the majority of his wealth by the time he died. He was left with $2 million after the donations and was renting an apartment in New York. There is also a millionaire who built houses for the homeless. But I would say that the "good ones" are far and few.

However, the darker side of trying to "be rich and be quiet about it" are some billionaires donating to regressive causes. I think I don't need to mention the Koch brothers and Murdochs. Being the "power behind the throne" is more effective way to actually wield power. That's why I don't think ridding Trump will solve anything unless there is a more robust system to prevent money in politics being put ever again.
