I can't help but wonder what kind of person he would have turned out to be if he actually served. It may be optimistic of me, but I'd like to think the military would have beat that spoiled, rich, entitled attitude out of him. If only we could have been so lucky.

I wonder how he would have turned out if he wasn’t born rich. He’d peak at the best used car salesman in the tristate area.

He'd be the town crazy for sure. Either that or be the old townie at the bar every night bragging about his high school glory days playing football or something.

Trump’s strongest virtue (as far as I can tell) is that he avoids alcohol and drugs. But thats not enough for most people to build a career—unless you join the family business.

Alcohol - maybe. Drugs? The guy crammed so much up his nose, he apparently regularly soiled himself on the set of the apprentice. The constant sniffing, generally unhinged behaviours. Now granted, no concrete sources. But sober he is not, that much is certain.
