自然な表現

They would say that I'm a bit egoistic person but, it is relative to my ambition. You know, ambitious a person often looks egoistic. Like Donald Trump, Oops, he is just a stupid person.

1. using "would" directly responds to the question and expresses "possibility". we need "that" to introduce the next clause
2. we often say "relative to" to express "corresponding", "in comparison with"
3. indefinite article needed for countable "person"
Hahaha. Well, why would they say that you are selfish? And why, in your opinion, are ambitious people selfish and egoistic?

Thank you for laughing. Some person don't accept joking. Anyway, ambitious person has strong will. It is often conflict practical thinking people because they can't follow his wide vision. So, they say, great person is lonely because such a person has to ignore many advise from them. Normal person think about such behavior is just selfish.
