The truth of the matter is that Trump is not a brilliant self-made individual but someone who was born into money. As the saying goes on how to become wealthy: “First I took a dime and worked hard to turn it into a quarter, then I took that quarter and worked hard to turn it into three quarters and then I inherited ten million dollars from my aunt.” The real trick to How to Get Rich...
