Gotta be "tough enough", gotta "have what it takes" to......... be born into a wealthy family. Donny boy would actually be about as rich as he is now had he merely taken the money his daddy gave him and invested it in an S&P 500 index fund. Except he would not have left behind a trail of stiffed contractors, employees, and investors. But, to him, I think the swindling is the best part.

To quote Molly Ivins - "He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple".

Except Trump was born on third base and then proceeded to inflict career-threatening injuries to most of his own teammates.
