Ludicrous, he obviously cares very much what world he's leaving to his
family and the next generation.

Nope.

The sale that must be made is reborn patriotism and belief in the
American system.
It's working too.

Which "we" is that?
The same one that walks away from Obama's missing time at Columbia?

Yet somehow he has converted this:
"Donald Trump received over a lifetime the equivalent of at least $413
million in current dollars from his father, Fred Trump's, real estate
empire, largely through gifts and a variety of tax-minimizing schemes
rather than a single inheritance sum."
To this:
AI Overview
Donald Trump's net worth fluctuates and is estimated differently by various
sources, but recent figures from late 2025 place it around $5.1 billion
(Forbes), while other estimates vary significantly due to his diverse assets,
including real estate, Truth
Social, and new crypto ventures. His wealth has seen major shifts, with some
sources reporting substantial growth from digital assets and other investments
in 2024-2025, potentially adding billions in "paper worth," though valuation
remains complex.
Key Figures & Estimates (Late 2025):
Forbes: Around $5.1 billion (June 2025).
Bloomberg: Estimated $7.08 billion (January 2025).
Axios (Temporary): Briefly estimated over $50 billion due to his
cryptocurrency launch in early 2025, per Axios.
And you call that "least successful"?
It is to laugh, loudly...at...YOU!
