How Donald Trump became a billionaire president

While the president of the United States has been considered the most powerful position in the world for many decades, it has never meant being a rich person. Most US Presidents come from a political background and wealthy families that while prosperous is not the level of major commercial corporations. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 somewhat changed that trend, since Donald Trump was already an established businessperson.

But how did Trump become a billionaire president? Well, the topic of how and why Donald Trump became president of the United States has been the topic of much debate. Many people were shocked by the fact he managed to win the presidential race against Hillary Clinton, who was overall a much more experienced and tempered politician.

Many had speculated that Donald Trump used racial hatred to win the election by playing into the racism of middle America, especially when it came to immigrants. Trump spoke vaguely by effectively on a variety of issues and told people basically what they wanted to hear, even if that meant making promises he couldn’t keep or playing into a false narrative.

While many of Trump’s opponents could easily point out the lies and racism his campaign was built on, many of his supporters did not care. People had in their mind a political narrative that they wanted to go with and where not about to let facts get in the way of that. This is because Trump and the class of billionaires he represents were able to easily distract voting Americans with social issues while continuing to entrench the corrupt system that they were profiting from.

So, the question really isn’t how Donald Trump became a billionaire president, but why it was allowed to happen in the first place.
