The Authenticity of Trump’s Early Professional Journey

Contrary to popular belief, Donald Trump has had only one job in his professional life, a brief stint at a McDonald's fry cook position. This was not a genuine working experience but rather a photo opportunity, highlighting how his public image often outshines his personal experiences.

Working for His Father and Inheritance

Donald Trump’s primary working experience comes from assisting his father, Fred, and his mother, Mary Ann, in their real estate business, Trump Enterprises. They specialized in buying middle and lower-income apartment houses in Brooklyn and Queens, converting them into cooperatives. Importantly, when young Donald wanted to enter the Manhattan real estate market, he was ushered into the fold through the influence of Jimmy Nap, a Brooklyn mafia boss, and Roy Cohn, a prominent Manhattan lawyer.

Through these connections, Donald Trump Enterprises quickly rose to become the third most successful real estate entity in the city. This journey into the business world was aided not through hard work and individual skills but through strategic networking and influential connections.

Honesty and Inheritance

One of the most significant aspects of Trump's early career is the genuine labor he did committing to his work. A particularly noteworthy experience was when he spent time baiting hooks at the docks. This job, unlike his other ventures, was one where he worked hard and excelled, becoming a master baiter. However, this too was overshadowed by the vast inheritance he received from his father, Fred Trump, and the additional properties he inherited upon Fred's death. His career trajectory does not reflect a personal drive but rather a series of inheritances and connections.

Legacy and Inheritance

Notably, Trump's early career has its roots in his family’s political and social ties. His father, Frederick Trump, was known for his admiration of Nazi-era Germany, passing that legacy to his son, whom some refer to as "Orange face Donny." Trump carried the Nazi Bundt flag, a fervent symbol of his father's admiration, at various public appearances. This symbolizes his family's political ideology and their influence on his life.

Comparatively, it is worth noting that during the same 50-year period, Joe Biden built a significant career, contributing substantially to public service and infrastructure. In contrast, Trump’s career has been more about leveraging familial connections and taking on no genuine job experiences beyond the photo op at McDonald's and the manual labor at the docks.

Finally, it's crucial to address the inaccurate claims made by some concerning the amount of money passed down by his father. The exact amount is often a point of contention, highlighting the sometimes exaggerated narrative surrounding Trump's early career.
