Actually, there were quite a few "Trumps" at the Constitutional Convention. Land speculation was quite a lucrative occupation, and some of the more influential members of society worked in that field. Several attendees to the convention were land speculators. There were also a number of securities traders.

No wonder libs hate the constitution so much. It was penned by a bunch of Wall Street types!
