Bill Gates and Warren Buffet come to mind. So being born into a wealthy family is a very bad excuse for Trumps constant over the top bragging about himself and inability to take any kind of criticism.
Gates didn't come from nothing. But yes, much more successful than Trump under his own steam. And, as opposed to Trump (might not be as altruistic as it seems) a really charitable man.
I don't know what the deal is with Trump, but for some reason he falls into the category of men I always despised. From the first moment I had the displeasure of learning about him. Long before his despicable campaign. More than two decades before that point in time, I would say. He seems to be the caricature of the American capitalist. Drawn to make the whole concept look bad.
I never felt that way over the other guys. Gates, Jobs, Buffet or Soros even. With Trump my neck hairs always stood on end.
