If he had not had his daddy's money and his daddy's had not forced a good education into him he'd be the guy we all know sitting on a bar stool telling how smart he REALLY is and he'd be something it weren't for those fat cats in Washington stopping him!
Thousands of people have inherited money like that and done nothing, if not squandered much of it.
Credit where credit is due, he's built a premier brand. As a developer, he's in the same class as Steve Wynn and other moguls. I know it doesn't play into the "deck is stacked against you" meme, but people from modest families continue to hit big. I don't like Trump, either, but the guy has clearly demonstrated an ability in branding and development. He may not be worth $10B or whatever without daddy's headstart, but I think he would still be very successful.
