Re: Don Jr going VC route

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Just got the book "Lucky Loser", about Trump and his upbringing. Only about 60 pages in, but
it's been pretty good so far.

Fred Trump made his fortune building affordable housing, per Federal Government programs
to supply housing for returning servicemen and their growing families after WWII. Fred Trump
( of course ) manipulated FHA head to make a fortune ( he would have made a fortune without
this grift, but he made a lot more with the grift ). Donald is a chip off the old block, on
steroids, lol.

It is staggering that working class Americans think that they have their advocate in the
WH now. Nobody grew up with more of a silver spoon in his mouth than Don Trump.
I'll be watching with interest these next 4 years, gonna be a Master Class in grift.
