The average home today in Jamaica Estates sells for about $700,000. So I guess one could call it an upper middle class neighborhood both then and now. 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.
A lot of men made fortunes post-WWII. God bless ‘em. 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. The way Trump talks, could ANYONE mistake him for a blue blood?
