How did the Trump name alone become worth so much if it's organization has always been full of low standards people? Isn't that why every restaurant wants to have the golden arches on their roof?

Trump didn't build the company with his two bare hands.  
His dad started the company.  

Just to add to this point, Donald Trump had an allowance from his dad since he was a baby - a tiny little sum of 200 grand per year. He was already millionaire before he hit puberty due to this. Oh, and his "very small sum" of 1 million loan from his dad (which an everyman like us wouldn't get from any bank under any circumstances even if we could build the Perpetuum Mobile and make billions with it)? Try 413 Millions! Add to this the fact that he inherited the company and heaps of money from his father, and he probably just turned 10 Billions into 10 Billions, not 1 Million into 10 Billions.
