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.

Several differing tales of his early years.

Here is one:

Father’s legacy
In October, the front-runner told voters that his father gave him a “small loan” of $1m to get started.

No comparison at all and only the intellectually weak would accept it as such.

Donald Trump is the kind of man you would give $1 million to if you wanted to see it turned into $20 million.

John Fetterman is the kind of man you would give $1 million to if you wanted to see it squandered, while also having him live in your basement.

His first business venture was “a loan” from his father. Trump has worked hard all his life and still does. Simply an amazing man. And with all his possessions, the man is still not spoiled...

How many businesses did Donald Trump build and operate? How many people earned a living working in or for his businesses? How much did Donald Trump build on his inheritance?

How ‘bout ol’ Festerman?

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

That "hundreds of millions" claim did not ring true to me, either. I believe Trump's father was a successful businessman, but I don't think he had anywhere near that much money. And, as others have pointed out, Trump did not just sit on his inheritance - or loan, or whatever it was - but put it to work and expanded it many times over.

“Trump, who received hundreds of millions of dollars from his father’s real estate empire”

Maybe true but then he turned that into billions and what has Fetterman accomplished?

And when Trump lost money in Atlantic City, it was when he took over the casino as a government federal informant, a Patriot... to get the Philadelphia Mafia out of Atlantic City. How? lose money attract the “buyers”, out them and voila— the money trail is revealed.

Nicky Scarfo. He was a “thing”.

The GOOD FBI of that time, who are long gone now from the very bad criminal FBI (the one’s who worked with Whitey Bulger, for the then Federal Prosecutor Mueller in Baaaahston), and the criminal Maryland prosecutor one, Rod Rosenstein. The three amigos— Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller. Recall that obamaumao extended Mueller’s reign at FBI by petitioning Congress... to give him time to get Comey in and position against the Clinton wing with what he had on Comey from HSBC (HongKongSBankCorp). Dope... drugs money laundering.

And Mueller’s pals had Bulger moved to WV for a two lifer Mafia hit man to murder the 84 year old his first day there. So he wouldn’t spill on Mueller as Mueller tried to take out Trump.

As a young man, Trump led the rebuilding of Manhattan. He took a rundown midtown hotel, turned it into a sparkling Hyatt, and the city was reborn. Compare what Fetterman did with Braddock, PA where five of the seven councilors say he was a disaster who wrecked the town - and Trump wasn’t even mayor.
