Utter bull. How much time does it take to do a half-hour show for half the year or run a beauty pageant? The thing about you on the left is you never want to give anybody on the right credit for their success. Trump's a billionaire: Oh, that's because his father gave him money. Trump turned that money into an enterprise and him into a billionaire: Oh, Trump didn't do any of that, he had a holding company. The economy is great thanks to Trump's policies: Oh, Trump's policies didn't do it, he was riding on the coattails of DumBama who industry hated.
I just never seen utter hatred like this in my entire life. Great things happening under Trump but it's never to his credit. He was always in the right places at the right time, and never did a thing in his life. Pathetic.
Sorry that I do not share your worship of Trump, but facts are facts. First off, his dad gave him more than just money, he gave him his grandmother's company. An established company with ties and a name and contacts and assets. The importance of this cannot be overstated. A well known fact about Trump is that not a single enterprise he started on his own succeeded...not one.
Trump's best skill is the ability to sell himself, which he is a master of. This is not an inconsequential skill, he has used it to great advantage.
As for the economy, it is moving along nicely. Some of it Trump has helped, some he has hurt. You people want to give him far more credit than he should get, but it is your nature to give the government credit for what the private sector does, so that cannot be helped.
It has nothing to do with worshiping. It's called giving credit where credit is due. All you people want to do is make excuses for his successes in life.
In my career, I've seen many businesses handed off to children. Many of them failed. When things started going downhill, the kids either sold it to a competitor, or stayed with it until it's ultimate demise. Most people can't run a business, and many people can't handle money. There have been books written about lives totally ruined by lotteries. It's a talent to be able to run a business.
Trump was handed down millions of dollars, but nobody knows the exact amount for sure, given Donald had several siblings. In any case, if you came across a decent amount of money, let's say $500,000. Let's see you make that money grow tenfold, twentyfold, or more. It's not an easy thing to do.
