Neither is the fact that he in turn employed two of the

By having big mouths and getting other people to do all the real work. Trump the Chump and Robot F'n Kennedy also inherited most of their money and positions from their family.

To be fair though, Trump LOST the Family fortune .... and then surrounded himself with people who knew what thay were doing, so he became rich again!!

 He didn't lose it, but nearly did.
     The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire,
    but a Times investigation found that he received at least
    $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate
    empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

 From that artical ....

What emerges from this body of evidence is a financial biography of the 45th president fundamentally at odds with the story Mr. Trump has sold in his books, his TV shows and his political life. In Mr. Trump’s version of how he got rich, he was the master dealmaker who broke free of his father’s “tiny” outer-borough operation and parlayed a single $1 million loan from his father (“I had to pay him back with interest!”) into a $10 billion empire that would slap the Trump name on hotels, high-rises, casinos, airlines and golf courses the world over. In Mr. Trump’s version, it was always his guts and gumption that overcame setbacks. Fred Trump was simply a cheerleader.

So I guess I recall people referring to the ".... parlayed a single $1 million loan from his father (“I had to pay him back with interest!”) into a $10 billion empire that would slap the Trump name on hotels, high-rises, casinos, airlines and golf courses ...."
I mean ... 'a single $1 Million' ... that counts as broke, doesn't it??
