Trump, who received hundreds of millions of dollars from his father's real estate empire, calls John Fetterman spoiled: 'He lived off his parents' money'

Former President Donald Trump said Democrat candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman "is a spoiled and entitled socialist loser who leeched off his parents' money" during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

In 2018, The New York Times debunked Trump's claims that he was a self-made billionaire. The outlet reported Trump received the equivalent of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire, beginning when he was a toddler.

Trump has hustled his whole life. He took the money and multiplied over and over. Fetterman lived in his parents basement

Trump turned those millions into billions, and built an empire of prime real estate where his father only developed residential projects. Uncle Festerman just spent money. Trump invested and multiplied it.

Trump never pretended to be a Marxist
And he worked all of his life

Donald John Trump did indeed inherit his father’s businesses worth millions.

But then he took it and turned it into billions.

Not only did he inherit millions, he had to work his arse off from when he was a young teen able to walk a construction site.

His father Fred was a workaholic and worked young Donald through all the trades, framing, plumbing, electrical, etc. where young Donald became a journeyman.

Even when Donald was in college, he wasn’t allowed time to go out partying with his friends on weekends, he had to work on site Saturdays. Sunday was his only downtime and even then, his mother Mary Trump made sure the family was washed, dressed to attend Church.

His pastor at the Presbyterian Church in Queens was the famous Norman Vincent Peale. And if you know anything about Pastor Peale, then you know where Donald got his positive attitude about building the future.

No comparison.

The Lord says cast not your pearls before swine.

So I won’t bother explaining.

Trump is not spoiled

Trump did not live off his father’s money. He could have lived off of $200 million, but he didn’t. He turned $200 million into $9 billion. On his own with legitimate help, not â Manchurian leader. He got through Wharton and then worked for and with his father
He and his father rebuilt the commodore

Trump did everything legally, we know this. It’s why they have to frame home they have nothing on him. They’ve gone through his life like a group of cat burglars going through a billionaires wife’s underwear

Trump was born on third base, but he hit plenty of triples.

Trump is hard-working, clean, and neat. Fetterman is a lazy, dirty slob.

Their philosophy is consistent with those that believe that wealth is never created, only taken from someone else.

Has Trump ever said otherwise, about his background? His point is that Fetterman is a phony.

President Trump had siblings that received equal inheritance from what I can understand. He is the only one that is a billionaire. Not knocking his family, he just,by far the most successful financially.

Inheritance is not the same thing as living in your mothers house in adulthood as Fetterman has done.

…”Donald was Fred Trump’s second son. I remember him from the age of about 14 or 15, with his wild shock of blond hair and his endless reserves of energy and drive. His father used to send him to collect the money from the laundry machines. Fred taught his children from a very early age to take responsibility; he gave them no breaks. Donald may have been wild as a youth, but his father raised him well.”…

Exactly. Trump senior provided seed money which was repaid.

I believe PDJT BORROWED $1M from his father and paid him back.

And turned it into Billions!
