I have fewer divorces, my skin is not orange, I have never given money to the Clinton Foundation or Chuck Schumer

And you've never built a $10B empire. In fact the only thing you have successfully built is a really nasty reputation.

Neither has trump. More like $2 or 3 to 4 or 5 billion.

Well, it's really a question of whether or not I would have used my father's money to “buy politicians as the price of doing business” and used my power to attempt to take old ladies’ houses. With inherited money, and low scruples, one can accomplish a lot.

And you've never built a $10B empire.

Neither has Trump. When he declared his candidacy he claimed it's in the neighborhood of $9 billion, according to a Forbes article of June 16, 2015 ("Trump Exaggerating His Net Worth In Presidential Bid," can't link it because of Forbes' website but it's accessible via search); Forbes, which tracks the worth of a lot of wealthy folks (there are about 38 dozen billionaires in the U.S.), clocked Trump at $4.1 billion. In context, his worth is 3rd tier among self-made entrepreneurs and even real estate moguls, one of whom out-earns Trump by about quadruple.

According to the Forbes article, Trump apparently values his "personal brand" alone at several billion dollars. Odd, that so many other billionaires have found even greater success without the need for a similar "personal brand."
