I saw an article that if Trump had invested his 250 million$ inheritance he would have ended up with 6 Billion$ or more than he now has,

He did get his name on a bunch of stuff though and he was on TV

That is, had he resisted the temptation to waste it.

Some people need to keep pushing forward in order to keep from sliding backward.

I don’t know that was what he inherited. I’ve seen numbers from $35 million to a share of several hundred mi)ion. And I don’t know how to factor in the loan from his siblings. But he certainly got a little bit more of a head start than the average joe.

And then, one shouldn’t discount the invaluable education he received at the feet of his beloved father. His father really was a business genius, laying a solid foundation of the family fortune. And learn he did! This is a great CREDIT to trump, that while others were rebelling, he was absorbing business lessons from a master m his very own father.

I don’t like to see trump’s accomplishments blown out of proportion, but thet shouldn’t be minimized, either. He is a successful crony capitalist real estate developer. AND TV star!
