I hate when people talk about Donny's father as if he was some sort of saint. That fucker was a segregationist real estate mogul that funded the KKK.

Is it talking about him like he's a saint to acknowledge that he actually did build a real estate empire from middle-class origins?

Maybe that is something of a sainthood to some Americans.

Fred made a lot of money, especially compared to his son or his father, but he nonetheless inherited a business and sizeable amount of money from Friedrich Trump. I wouldn't call it Middle Class for the time period.

Wealth is certainly a religion to many Americans.

Yeah, it's Worthington's Law in action. I cannot reference this enough, because this is actually how many people think. I cannot believe how many conversations about Elon/Donnie/Bezos/Gates, etc all ended with the equivalent of "yeah, but he makes more money than YOU!" (which I nearly always sound not very distant from "My dad can beat up YOUR dad!". It's pathetic.

Also, millions of people make more money than me. The real question is are they happier or more content than me?
