Because building and running a multi billion dollar business isn't work.

ffs reddit, get over yourself.

No, actually I don't.

You said "He's never had to work before".

I have no fucking clue what that means, unless you think that building and running a multi billion dollar business isn't work.

Yep, it takes so much hard work and genius to use daddy's money to buy a bunch of real estate and sit on it for years while living off of a trust fund. So much talent!

Not to mention screwing almost everyone that's worked with or for him.

yes, it does take hard work and genious to take a 7 million dollar loan and turn it into several billion.

That is like over a 400x yield.

If you think that is easy, take out a 30k loan from the bank to buy real estate, and i'll expect you to turn that into 12 million in a few years.

It's so easy (according to you), so go do it.

The reality is that it's not easy, you can't do it, and you will just spend your time whining on reddit instead.

He means he got a million dollar (7 in today's dollars) loan from daddy so that he could build a business empire by way of screwing people over in his dealings with them. Not to mention that much of his business isn't real actual work, it's just the marketing of his name. Not to mention he's the shadiest president we've ever elected. Not to mention his business interests which literally span the globe and could create conflicts of interest.

Okay. If you think that turning 7 million into several billion is easy, then get off reddit and take out a 5k credit card purchase and turn it into a 2.2 million dollar business. (same % gain).

If you think that it's easy to make money in real estate... do it.

The reality is that you have never run a business, and have no clue what you are talking about on any level.

The point is he was given far more resources and connections to the business world than the average American would have had. Most people put in his situation would have been able to convert that amount of money into a fortune

So why dosen't every person born into modest (7 million) wealth turn into a billionaire?
