In the recent Rolling Stone cover story on Trump, Donald's two sons referred to themselves as "the only sons of billionaires who can operate a Caterpillar D10."
I got a kick out of that. I guess Trump believes that if you are in the business of building skyscrapers, you need to know how to drive a bulldozer.
Trumps grandfather died when Trumps father was eleven (Spanish Flue). Grandmother ran the company until Fred was 16. At that time he was finishing high school, attending trade school in evening( (electric, plumbing, framing etc). AND working weekends and before school.
Get the picture. German-work ethic Grandmother would sign paper work to buy house Fred would do renovation and they would sell it to make a living. Put daughter thru business school. John the youngest was sent to be an architect He preferred engineering and received numerous award. MIT genius look him up. A story in itself
The Trumps are the American Dream on Steriods
