Comparing a guy who has been a politician nearly half a century to a man who turned a million dollar loan into a multi-billion dollar global empire doesn't really seem apples to apples, but whatever floats your boat!

Yeah no.
Donald Trump's father laundered hundreds of millions to him over many years in order to evade the estate tax.
Dad had his son set up a company to clean the apartments that Dad owned in between renters. This company had no employees.  The only expense this company had was to pay an actual cleaning company. Yet it racked up profits of over one hundred percent year after year.  It's a legal form of money laundering.
I have no problem with the dad giving his kid money. my parents gave me money. I have a problem with them not being open about it.  And I have a much bigger problem with them claiming it didn't happen.  
and frankly you come across naive and uninformed that you're perpetuating the self-serving lie that Donald Trump keeps putting out.

He also had his casinos built by hiring smaller "mom and pop" contractors to do a lot of the work. They took the jobs thinking it would be a "big break" for them, but Trump got much of the work done for free, because he refused to pay them the on much of the finished work. He knew he could tie them up in court for years until they ran out of money to fight him. Anyone can get rich if you lie and cheat enough. Most people choose to be decent human beings, instead.
