I haven't checked in a couple years-but in the senate-the top ten in terms of wealth were mainly democrats. I never believed Trump was some average joe. Clinton and Carter were close to that at one point and I really don't find that being a credential anyway. Dole was probably the closest-and like it or not-then Palin.
I wasn't speaking strictly in terms of bank account size. There you go again, believing that I pitched an argument on some imaginary leftist class warfare grounds. Again you fail to get the point.
Since you mentioned Clinton, you of course remember he was raised by grandparents in pretty much horrible home conditions in the boondocks of rural Arkansas, and Carter spent most of his early life as a regular farmer. Yeah, "close to that at one point" indeed.
Maybe you will figure out that I'm not engaging in class warfare at some point, but I am beginning to doubt it.
I was raised in the New Deal era, so although I did not grow up in luxury, I was certainly blessed with more than enough.
My father however, did grow up in extreme wealth. His father was banker to Louis Rothschild, and the only reason he did not inherit a fortune of twenty five million German gold marks is because the Nazis wound up with it.
Fortune "interrupted", and denied.
Life is sometimes a contact sport, right?
My point being, Donald Trump has never ever had to experience anything in the way of "contact" with real life, and the only reason his bank account ever comes into it is
only as a measure of how large an illusion he can afford to construct for himself to live inside of, and sell to others.
Don't forget, he frequently attempts to tell people
that he is worth TEN BILLION dollars, whereas the truth is, he might only be worth between 788 million and 1.2 billion.
There's that illusion again!
