Approaching it as if it is accurate, though, does this cause problems for him and/or the GOP?

Without even looking into the context I would say he could spin it as "You have to be wealthy to be great, and as president I'm going to make this country work again so that everyone who isn't afraid of hard work can become wealthy."  Of course that isn't all that plausible, but it makes for a nice soundbyte.  Sound bite?
