Meaning of "Whoever has the gold makes the rules" like Jafar uttered.


What do you think it means both by itself and within the context of how Jafar said it in his movie? That this is the golden rule - Whoever has the gold makes the rules, and also, do you agree with it?

The golden rule as Jafar stated means that whoever has gold(or a lot of money) makes the rules. Is that what you mean?

It means money talks and bullshit walks.

Indeed, and it mirrors Aladdin's quest to become a sultan to win the princess's hand in marriage, despite the Geni's insistence to "tell the truth". The princess finds out the truth and rejects Aladdin, although in short-time the two are a couple again.
