Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
I dare say the origins of many rich people's wealth has come from inheritance in one form or another. Not sure that proves much in itself or is a reason for denigrating anyone.

Oh dear here's a bit a 'fake news' that won't go down well in Trump's echo chamber.

I think you've missed Hugh's point.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
For those who think I've missed Hugh's point I wasn't referring specifically to that or I'd have quoted it his comment. I was referring to the wider feeling in society that Trump and people who've inherited wealth haven't necessarily done anything worthwhile or productive on their own account. Time will tell how successful Trump is or isn't and how he got where he is.

Yes maybe they'd make as much money on the circuit as people like Clinton, Blair et al in spite of the wrongs they did.

Because the original statement was that he was a savvy businessman, and I showed he would have been richer if he had just invested his loans/inheritance in index trackers, so not such a savvy businessman...

He could have lost a lot of money doing that too and still could - no investments are totally safe.
As I've already stated my point was a wider one about those who seem to feel inheriting money and keeping it is easy.

Inheriting money is pretty much a case of luck. Investing that money in tracker funds is easy.
Hugh's point was that if Trump had invested his inherited wealth and loan in shares he would have made more money than he has done as a property and leisure entrepreneur. That's factually correct.
Personally, I give credit to Trump for running a business but nothing you or I have said undermines the truth of Hugh's argument. Nor does it make Hugh jealous of Trump or vice versa.

Mmm still sounds like you're jealous he isn't as rich as he could easily have been
