Trump obviously has some serious business sense, but it must be remembered, he graduated from college and his dad wrote him a $10,000,000 check to invest with. How many people get that kind of a start? The vast majority of people who are successful in business started with maybe $10,000, so the way I see it, Trump is about as successful as the working class guy that ended up with a net worth of $10 million, laudable, admirable, but a miracle worker? No.
There are 40,000 people just like him, and a lot of those didn’t stoop to paying off politicians or playing political chameleon games to get there.
I never said he was a miracle worker, but he has a strong work ethic and passed that onto his children. Which isn’t necessarily the norm with people that inherit wealth.
How many multi-billionaires didn’t play political games? And how would we know?
hit send too soon...
The real estate business is more tied to politics than many others, with the permits, licenses, inspections, taxes required from the government just to get started. Other billionaires may not be tied to government approval for their businesses but real estate is controlled by the government.
