Sunday

AP reported that Trump got about 413 million from his father.

https://apnews.com/article/0452d29cd2564eaf97605ab90acc3a67

By age 18, he made more money than most Americans make in their lifetime because he was on his father's payroll.

Would he had succeeded if he had started with humble beginnings, probably not.

For example, Steve Jobs was adopted into a middle-class family.
