Ok, riddle me this. If a man inherits money, am I to be upset at his good fortune? I’m guessing as a conservative the answer is of course not.
Additionally, if this man has a leg up in life and chooses to carry that momentum and build upon what he’s been given, am I to think less of him and his abilities? Look at the very wealthy families who do indeed plan for generations and you’ll see many who chose to live large on what was given vs. working to create something more.
I will never understand the line of thinking that his advantage and what he chose to do with it, is somehow a negative.
You are correct, you should not be upset. My post was in answer to someone stating Trump made his money the old-fashioned way i.e. he is self-made. That's not true. He inherited his wealth.

Nope. And I never claimed you should.

No one here is making that claim.
