Trump was mostly a business failure until he stumbled onto the brilliant idea of marketing his loud over the top elitist name using other people's money. Reality TV and brand marketing saved his fortune after multiple bankruptcies. While unquestionably wealthy, he probably has much less wealth than he claims. Bragado and exaggeration are part of his brand. Unfortunately for him, he apparently has no more control over his hands or other body parts than his mouth. His own recorded statements have sunk him. While Hillary has her own baggage, it pales compared to Trumps.
