Grandfather Frederick is already turning in his grave!
Father Fred is just "dead"!
Donald Trump has been a disappointment to the aforementioned two gentlemen, to say the least!
He had everything handed to him. He had everything going for him. His grandfather kicked things off by making a fortune - (via the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush). He had his father's, Fred, rolodex, political contacts + huge lines of credit!

In 1994 Donald's net worth was minus $1-billion. 5 Chinese investors came in to "rescue" him by buying up one of His vacant, nonperforming West-End properties.
In 2006 Trump lent his "gilded" brand name --- TRUMP --- to 2 shady Russian investors --- Tevfik Arif & Felix Sater --- for a 46-story condo complex - The Soho - (with views of the Hudson River). Trump wasn't required to put any money into the deal but would acquire management rights & profits that therein ensued.
