But make no mistake about it, Donald Trump's dad Fred was a self made real estate developer, who at his death was worth about $300 or $400 million.

Queens was ripe for the picking in that era. Good for ole Fred. But you just cannot equate that to the long line of blue bloods of the Bush/Pierce families.

I described Fred as "self made".

I knew that Fred was self-made. This line of discussion, tho, began with the proposition that The Donald was, of all things, born/raised in NY,NY vs. GWB being of the fine soil of TX. My intent was to return to the absurd contrast as to the socio-economic roots of the two men (both of whom I like and appreciate for what and who they are).

Suffice to say that one of them probably knew how to use a fish fork properly before he was out of the cradle; the other not until he was well out of Wharton. $$ and geography have little to do with that.
