19 things Donald Trump knows better than anyone else, according to Donald Trump

-- Trump got a heap of constructive criticism re his Carrier deal, so the future will tell how right or wrong you are .. it would be a real born-again
moment from the guy who has said he knows more about so many things than anyone, or most anyone, else .. lol, was only going to
mention ISIS and the generals, and the Iran deal then got this greater list .. hmm, just noticed the Iran deal isn't on this one ..

VIDEO: Donald Trump: 'I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone'.. 3:11
At a rally in Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 3, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump slammed the U.S. tax
code as "unfair," but vowed to use his own understanding of it to fix it for Americans. (The Washington Post)

This post has been updated with a couple more examples that have come to our attention.

"I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone, which is why I'm the one who can truly fix them," Donald Trump claimed Monday in Colorado
.. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-brilliantly-tax-laws-paying-article-1.2816127 .

It is one of many issues on which Trump is one of the world's foremost experts, according to Trump. In fact, you might say he's the best at being a self-proclaimed expert.

Below is a list of the many things about which Trump says he knows more than just about anybody. Even for a guy who's fond of hyperbole, it's a lot to take in.

(We're putting this on the list assuming that nobody ELSE knows more about Booker than
Booker, which would make Trump the world's foremost non-Cory Booker expert on Cory Booker.)
