The habit of assigning “blame” to carriers of certain genetic alphabets leads only to the darkest places imaginable.
Equally, the idea that “superior” genes are the cause of good outcomes is deeply flawed.
It is unlikely that Trump is still alive because of his genes. It’s because of his money.

Wealth and privilege are drivers of better health and longer lifespan. Addressing poverty and healthcare would be far more impactful than just about anything I can think of in terms of improving the health of people in the U.S. I say this as someone who studied genetic risk factors for cancer.
