In this brief commentary, TJ Walker argues that Donald Trump has made only two genuinely smart business decisions in his life. First, he benefited from a substantial financial allowance provided by his wealthy father, effectively a $200,000‑per‑year salary from childhood, which Walker dismisses as inheritance rather than entrepreneurship. Second, Trump strategically cultivated a public persona as an obnoxious, successful businessman through his television show, which Walker labels a calculated but superficial business move.

Trump has made exactly 2 smart business decisions in his entire life. Number 1, he was born to a wealthy father who was actually a successful businessman and who started giving Trump what amounts to a $200,000 a year salary as a child, as a toddler.

Number 2, he made the brilliant decision to play a successful, obnoxious businessman on a television show. Ultimize.
