You said "what's your excuse" for not being a billionare, as though everyone was starting off with a level playing field.  That's obviously not even close to being true, not by any stretch of the imagination.  It takes money to make money--I know, as I've owned two store-front businesses--and Trump starting off with millions in assets and his father's business gives him a massive edge when compared to the average person.  That's an iron-clad fact.  The "what's your excuse" line was silly.


Yes he started with a great edge agaisnt common folk, does that makes him making 20x of what he started become regular achievement?... so you started two bussiness, how have they went?

My two small businesses that I started with loans from the bank?  I sold them both, one as a clear profit, the other as a loss for tax purposes.  The first one I sold because I had a great offer on the table, the second one I sold because of changing industry trends.  Why?  Are you saying that my $30,000 of small business loans put me on the same playing field with Trump's inherited millions and his father's business?

Regardless, I never said that he's not an excellent businessman.  I'm saying that your implication that the average person should be a billionare or else have an "excuse" for why they are not is ridiculous.
