For every person that turned their inheritance into a fortune there is also one that squandered it. For every person born into money and made a name for themseleves, there is another still living off the name of their ancestors.

Yes, Trump had an enourmous leg up, but at some point in time that leg up could only take him so far.

Well give me a "small" loan of a 1 million dollars and we'll see where I am in a few years.

Not POTUS. And possibly not a billionaire.

People act like just because they get a start up in life they can all of a sudden be a billionaire. Maybe u would retain and build wealth with a 1mm start up loan but stop acting like ppl just automatically be billionaires.

NO. No, no, no, no, no. Just :scust::scust::scust::scust: at this entire myth, not only from you OP but other gullible idiots that believe it.

First of all, the "small loan of a million dollars" is equivalent to over $6 million today. AND HE fukkING BLEW IT. Almost every single one of his individual business ventures flopped, hence him filing for bankruptcy anywhere from 4-6 times (reports vary :skip:). He inherited over $400 million when his dad died! That's the source of his wealth! And guess what? By most legitimate accounts he isn't even a billionaire! What kind of billionaire lusts for a six-figure Apprentice check from NBC? :snoop:

But here is the absolute best part OP. There's a thing called an index fund you can put your money into where your wealth will wax and wane according to the strength of the stock market. Since the 1980s the stock market has exploded and everyone that put in generational wealth has benefitted greatly from it. To do this you literally have to do nothing and had he invested that money he'd be worth approximately $4-$6 billion dollars today. Meaning he's such an unsuccessful businessman that he would literally would be worth several times more money if he had just sat on his ass and done nothing instead of squandering his money :why:

:jbhmm: How come you couldn't admire Obama. Instead you decided a sliver spoon privileged cac, who ever faced financial troubles, always had his parents money to get him off. The same man who actually lost more money than earned. The same man that filed for bankruptcy more than once from business failures. :jbhmm:So do you respect slave owners too op? Im mean since they made sure their children was wealthy and remain wealthy all through out generations, while fighting to making sure white privileged/supremacy remained intact, all at the expense of minorities? Remember no emotions..

But he has a solid foundation to build on, more so then any black American. He has made the connections that only white males like himself could make. He was in charge of GENERATIONAL wealth, something blacks in america do not have at all. He comes from old money, again something else that blacks do not have.

This why I cringe when AA multimillionaires and/or their kids marry out. It's not a racist thing, it's about evonomic empowerment multigenerationally. Think of the last 40 years the number of pro-athletes that have made millions and basically squandered it or just gave it away through marriage...or their kids.

I didn't know about the 14 million loan part for Orange Man X.

He inherited his father's wealth (the estate is estimated at being $200M-$300M but divided up), not to mention his father allowed him to run his real estate company, and after Trump ran his father's company, he had many failed ventures to which his father bailed him out of.

Trump had a massive leg up and had many times to fail throughout his life whereas selfmade men don't get the luxury of experimenting with many ventures and failing. We have to be good from the start, cunning, and smart enough to turn a few dollars into hundreds in a few minutes. Trump isn't like that, he has smart money managers that help him out.

His ascendancy to president was due to white stupidity and an out-dated voting system. I don't respect him as a man at all. He is just a child who happened to have benefitted from being born into a wealthy white family.
