In the past year, Trump's wealth increased by 3 billion dollars, much of it coming from the liquidity of the cryptocurrency market. This bull market can be described as exclusive to his family.
His family has three generations, starting from a German immigrant barber, escaping military service, and climbing all the way to the presidency.
However, the income Trump earned throughout his life through real estate, shopping malls, and the entertainment industry is far less than the quick gains he made during his presidency.
But no matter how prominent he is, he cannot escape aging and death; time is fair to everyone.
Imagine if humans could extend their lifespan to 150 years, the world would likely become extremely distorted: health and wealth inequality would worsen, power resources would become more concentrated, and social classes would become completely solidified.
In reality, societal progress relies on metabolism, with the older generation making way for the new generation's innovations.
The longer people live, the more rigid their thinking becomes, clinging to vested interests, which in turn hinders innovation.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the limited lifespan that humans maintain a desire for change, driving society forward in the alternation of the old and new.
