You really should read up on the life story of Donald Trump.
His father did not spoil him at all, but rather made him work work work. His father’s work ethic was imprinted on young Donald from an early age and Donald in turn passed it on to his children. There are no slackers in the Trump family or businesses. They all work their butts off.
When Donald was a young boy, he had behavioral problems, so his father sent him to a military academy. When Donald returned and started college, his father made him work on weekends scrubbing toilets and replacing them, fixing up apartments and homes. While his buddies were out partying, Donald had to work with only a break for church on Sundays.
Somehow, the phrase ‘silver spoon’ doesn’t fit Donald’s life. Sure his family had money, but they worked their butts off for it and to this day Donald looks at money as a great responsibility, a resource that has to be grown by doing great things of high standards. He only allows extravagance when there is a business upside. If Melania or Ivanka start businesses of extravagance, the bottomline is what Donald demands.
Donald also went broke, terribly broke and after wandering about rudderless for a spell, he launched an incredible comeback. A ‘silver spoon’ had nothing to do with it.
I said nothing about a silver spoon.
Another Freeper posted that to me.
Trump was given an opportunity by his successful father.
And Trump built on the foundation he was given.
Trump is a very smart and hard worker.
