At Monday night’s first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton said that Donald Trump lives within his own reality.
As an example of that, when Clinton pointed out that he had begun his empire, not singularly from his own hard work, but because he not only got a substantial loan from his father, but had continued to refuse to pay people who had worked for him, Trump responded that the money he got from his father was very little.
This is apparently the story he has drilled into his children, that he started with nothing and built an empire, and the story he hoped his supporters would believe as they would convince themselves that if he could do it, he could make it happen for them.
Trump created his own reality, convinced his children it was the real one, and has been rather successful recruiting people to accept it as well.
This is the crowd, by the way, that votes against its own self-interest because Trickle Down economics will eventually touch them- a hope they have clung to for over 40 years.
It is the story his son Eric either believes and promotes, or simply promotes because it might pay off.

My idea of nothing obviously differs because if my father had given me a $1million loan like Donald Trump received in 1978 from his father, I might not have considered that nothing.
Eric Trump added,
“He’s epitomized what America is all about ― opportunity and working hard and being able to achieve your dreams”.
But beyond the initial loan, Trump also benefited from numerous loans and loan guarantees from his father and from some lucrative trusts that provided steady income. He was bailed out by his father with a $3.5-million casino-chip loan that was illegal when he became overextended in the casino business.
He was also able to qualify for $9 million borrowed against his future inheritance.
As far as the $1 million loan, he is on record as explaining it as,
“I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.”
And people are supporting him because one day they will, after he makes America great again, get those same things, and their lives will take off from there.
