Since you asked. The point is, it is what Trump is. If Trump were not given hundreds of millions of dollars by his father at the age of 27 and were not a billionaire, would you be supporting his candidacy? What is it about a condo salesman that gives him a special awareness of economics, foreign policy or matters of social policy that cause so much support, other than " he's a billionaire". I think if he were worth a few thousand dollars, or even a couple of million, no one would care about him running for President. In other words "It's all about the MONEY"! Because it's all about the money for so many, I don't believe having a lot of money on its own makes one a great candidate for President. In fact, as someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth from day one, I think it can be a character reducer. It causes a person to look at everyone else as an idiot who is entitled to say anything he wants (no matter how true it is), if they stand in his way of gaining more power. On the other hand, Ted Cruz grew up middle class. He earned his way through some of the finest colleges in the country and worked his way up the ladder of success. Trump was given it. And he acts like the worst stereotypical condo salesman you can think of. Need a Timeshare? Trump would be great to go to for advice, need a President, someone much more is needed, we have it available.
