That's why he's really a loser but can't/won't face it. He's been surrounded by obsequious sycophants all his life (plus his father's open wallet.)

You were thrown into life with daddy's millions and skated for years on your name while you ran business after business into the ground. And now you've set your sights on the electoral process, and you're not going to win that, either.
