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.

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.

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?

Nope. And I never claimed you should.

I will never understand the line of thinking that his advantage and what he chose to do with it, is somehow a negative.

No one here is making that claim.

But, did he or did he not increase his wealth, with his own efforts? Or are you suggesting he inherited all his current wealth?
