Not a very good one. His companies filed for bankruptcy 4 times:

He was lucky to be given his father's real estate development firm. That gave him a good headstart.

How many things did Steve Jobs touch that failed before he became a saint? I have more respect for someone who has failed over and over again and then succeeded than someone who got lucky.

Are you saying if your family gave you a job and wealth you would turn it down?

Exactly -- remember the Newton? Those afraid to fail are too timid to lead. I'm certain that Trump is more successful at this point than anyone on this message board.

I remember the Newton. Specifically, I remember that it was John Sculley's project and was developed after Jobs had been kicked out of Apple and had started NeXT Computer. At NeXT, Jobs led development of the NeXTSTEP operating system which was transformed into OS X when he returned to Apple. During his time away from Apple, Jobs also bought Pixar. After Jobs' return to Apple, NeXTSTEP/OS X was the basis of iOS which is used by iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Pixar was sold to Disney, making Jobs the single biggest shareholder in Disney.

Jobs did not come from a wealthy family. Quite the contrary. While he was a risk taker, he actually had very few failures in his career. Even when he failed in his battle with Sculley for control of Apple, Jobs turned it into one of the greatest successes ever. Trump was given his business. In the immortal words of Ann Richards (talking about George Bush), he was born on third base and thought he hit a triple. It seems you also believe that he hit a triple. In reality, he has repeatedly been tagged out when trying to steal bases. By the way, how much risk has Trump ever really taken? It's easy to gamble with other people's money. Failure meant sticking it to his investors, not ending up homeless.

Dude, did you just go off your meds or something? You just posted almost a page and a half of messages (with one other poster adding a couple). You totally sock puppeted with several replies to your own message. It's one thing to suggest Donald Trump has intellectual horsepower and make everyone thing you are crazy, but your behavior is now confirming the fact. Get a grip.

Yes, and others can't imagine how their own genius could be so unappreciated by society so while a " a massive ego with the all the keen brain power of a fresh pile of dog shit" piles up billions and beds supermodels they post angry messages on DCUM. Diversity.

Hey, look! That guy who was given his father's Manhattan real estate development company at the dawn of the Manhattan real estate boom managed to only drive it into the ground four times, but due to our nation's lavishly generous bankruptcy laws--as they apply to the rich and the rich only--got it all handed back to him and managed to make money. And had sex with *gasp* supermodels!!!

Let me guess, you're, what? 15?

I don't have to guess - you're either incredibly dense or very envious -- do tell?

both of the above, obviously

TFF

Bill Gates' dad was a rich lawyer. Bill Gates dropped out of Havard. Bill Gates must be a dummy. Bwahahaha.

Must be if you think Trump's life is one to be envied.
