  Trump isn't actually that smart and he is not a great businessman. He would be richer today if he had just put daddy's money in an index fund.

  He is a classic financial example of the saying "given sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine". His nearly half billion inheritance plus an undeserved inheritance of his dad's reputation has been a hell of a JATO.
