A few guys who built larger fortunes;

Sam Walton - Wal Mart
Roger Penske, Penske Truck leasing, Penske Automotive Group, among others.
Jeff Bezos - Amazon
Bill Gates - Microsoft
Steve Jobs - Apple
Johnnie Byron Hunt - JB Hunt Trucking
John Menard - Menards
Bernard Marcus, et al - Home Depot

And dozens of others in the last 59 years that make Trump look like a piker.

Got his first Hollywood job by basically moving into an abandoned office at Universal studios and pretending he belonged there. He schmoozed enough big wigs to where they finally gave him a directing job. Now, that's making something out of nothing. Today he's worth several billion.

It's been noted that Cheeto could have let that money ride the market over the last 40 years, and lived a life of leisure (incest, optional), and he would have twice as much as he has now - at least.

Everything we know about him tells us he'd in fact have nothing were it not for Russian and Saudi nest feathering.

I heard these two guys talking today about the Kid Rock Christmas parade thing. One guy was telling the others that Kid Rock said “except Joy Behar, that’s
all he said”, totally leaving out the part where the idiot called Behar a bitch. Particularly humorous and frustrating is that Kid Rock said it on Fox and Friends. :eye roll:
