Trump got to be a billionaire by inheriting massive amounts of money, and drawing on his daddy's social and business connections. Without that start in life, he'd probably be a used car salesman somewhere in Brooklyn. (And given his record of bankruptcies and commercial failures, likely not even a very successful used car salesman.)

This slavish adoration of billionaires is just one more indication of the fact that we are living in an anti-intellectual society that worships money and power as ends in themselves.  -Which, of course, explains the rise of Orange Julius Caesar to power in the first place.
