Like father like son. You simply fake it until you make it and when your audience demos are the easiest marks on the planet the money flows in like water. His father used to create his own press by calling reporters and giving them stories from “people around trump”, hell, trump even paid people to attend his presidential candidate announcement.
The family is fake and everything they do is an illusion, all to grift people who are willing to give up their money in hopes of being apart of something.
Trumps appeal isn’t that he’s super good at business or a stable genius it’s that he thinks and acts like his base, they project onto trump how they see themselves, the smartest people in the room who are being attacked because people are just jealous and trump happily accepts that roll.
