That's just a gross misrepresentation. Many people have inherited money, or won the lottery, and squandered it. Many people have taken over daddy's business and ruined it.
And the proof is almost no one on this board would know what to do with the money Trump inherited and wouldn't be anywhere near where he is. Real Estate is a different game, but Trump definitely has a mastery of it that would far elude most people even if they got the same start he did.
Developers, investors and builders lose their ass in real estate all the time. To imply you just need Trump's money to be successful is patently false. It gives you a headstart, but it still takes talent and hard work to accomplish what he has and grow the fortune as much as he has.
Go ahead and say Trump is rich, maybe, because he was born rich. But let's not pretend he's successful despite a lack of real talent.
