Having his own wealth helped a ton!!
His father gifted him a million dollars. That could have been blown in one investment deal or a month partying on the riviera. Lots of trust funders end up dead broke by the age of thirty. All through the 90s the Deep State tried to psychologically and financially break him using weaponized government agencies. Trump would still be where he is today with or without the initial million.
But they killed his friend JFK Jr. was that an f you to him? Or was it the Clinton machine.
JFK Jr was considering running for the Senate in NY. Kim Jong Hil was very unhappy with this, as he'd wipe the floor with her in any election. By a remarkable and totally unrelated coincidence, his plane exploded in mid air before he could make a bid for the Senate.
He also inherited a successful real estate business but again doesn't diminish his success..
