In fairness, how many hundreds of millions did Fred Trump give Donald? Hint: over $400,000,000.
There is no doubt that Trump is a very good businessman. He turned 400 million into allegedly over 10 billion dollars.
As my dad told me, it is very difficult to make your first million. After that, it becomes easier to make your second million. He was right.
The great thing about Trump was he did not fritter away what his father granted him. Grew it, in fact.
But indeed, it’s hilarious how people defend this guy when e.g. Bush they criticized for being “rich” and “old money”. In fact they ignore these facts about Trump. Except to say “he has his own money so won’t need anything from us”.
