Abstract
Frank Capra’s Academy Award winning film, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, is about a one-man campaign against dishonest politics. James Stewart, the leading character, plays an average Joe and a naïve, self-conscious idealist stalwartly fighting the corrupt politics in the US Senate. But in spite of the bullying and bribing by crooked politicians, he sticks to his values and social convictions and triumphs in the end. Mr. Smith is making a humane difference.
My IQ is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.
—Donald Trump
I think I am actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.
—Donald Trump
