VISIT: Routes to wealth

Ahh…the irony of it all. The Trumps meet the Queen of England. She and her entourage of hangers-on wait for the oaf of outlandish statements and garish presence of the POTUS, fulfilling their required acquiescence to a visiting dignitary.

It is a contrast of lifestyles of one who has done nothing in her life to produce a penny, living off the backs of her subjects, while her family waits for her to die to further their own ascension to the spoils of monarchy.

And then there is Trump, who took a small fortune gifted by his father and turned it into a world-class business, with his children involved pulling their own weight in their business dealings. Albeit, while both individuals were born into something they had nothing to do with, it is telling in how their lives evolved.

No parallels to compare to except one who pays their own way, while the other is dependent on someone else. The essence of socialism displayed so blatantly for the world to see.
