Trump was born rich and he's rich now.
Nothing has ever changed for him.
Eagles players were born poor or middle class and are now rich or doing very well.
Life has changed for them but they remember where they came from.
Trump inherited his money from his daddy.
The Eagles are paid handsomely for their abilities and value to the team with a contract negotiated for them by agents and lawyers who are the best in the business and aggressively compete for their clients business.
Trump was given a job and career by his daddy.
Not a single Eagles player on the field got their job because their father owns the team.
To a man they all worked very hard their whole lives to become NFL players.
Too bad Trump passed on meeting even a few of these guys, he could've learned a lot from them.

Trump got deferments to avoid war with a fake injury
JFK got a lot more from his daddy than money.
He got a sense of duty to serve, in the Navy and in elected office.
All Trump got from his dad was the love of cash.

(3,538 posts)Chris Long comes from a fabulously wealthy family. His father played in the NFL, hes done tons of commercials and is an on air analyst. But Chris stands for all the right things and donated his entire years salary to charity.
Nick Foles comes from big time money, his family owns one of the biggest high end seafood chains in the country. But he also donates heavily to humanitarian causes and runs a ministry. Hes one of the super religious guys who acts in the tenets of the religion.
In general, youre right. Many of these guys come from nothing and worked their way to their positions, unlike Тяцмр. But some of the players did have money and privilege and still do the right thing. He might have learned a more relatable lesson from them.
But who are we kidding? That asshole is incapable of learning anything valuable.
