A lot of their success seems to be recognising an opportunity before anyone else, whether that’s luck or skill is difficult to know.
I don’t know exactly how much his parents were worth, but his net worth has increased by many thousands of times. That’s not “third base”, saying he got where he is by luck and nepotism is just wilfully ignorant.
Trump, on the other hand, would have done better if he just left his money in a savings account.
The drugs are definitely part of what happened.
I genuinely think he’s had some sort of cognitive decline.

Hard swerve to the right, and duck.
There’s no way I’m going through some passed out girl’s phone. That’s not something I feel like explaining to a passerby.
Honestly, what is the right answer here? Call someone? Let her sleep it off?
