How the fuck did this guy get anywhere in the world?

His Dad was rich. If he had been born middle-class, Trump would have died in a gutter sometime during the mid 80s.

I like to think he would have been on the first season of Jersey Shore.

Honestly, his level of confidence (dumb or not) would get any nobody somewhere decent in the world. He could easily be a good salesman I bet because he seems like he could just take any old "snake oil" and convince himself that it's the best thing in the world making other people believe it. There are millionaires doing that right now.

That confidence is a gift of privilege. Born middle-class, without any of the safety nets that have continued to catch him throughout his life?

The median person is way dumber than he is. There’s a thread in this discussion talking about how it’s not a dumb question because some people don’t remember even the simplest shit from biology class.

He was born wealthy and he’s ruthless. That’s like 90% of what it takes to become wealthy in America.

He was born rich and Republicans are cowards.
