Not that I support Trump, but I hate this argument. It is some of the most intellectually dishonest stuff thrown at Trump. If I may, I'd like to attempt to refute it.

Even if it were the case that he would have made more off the indexes, why are we faulting him for choosing to be an entrepreneur instead? He wanted to use that money to start and run businesses, arguably one of the most American things you can do. He clearly succeeded at it on some level considering he now has multiples of his current inheritance. He wasn't a perfect businessman, he failed in some of his ventures, but at the end of the day he made money. Since when was perfection the standard by which we judged everyone?

The last bit is, if he had sat on the money and we came to the exact same spot we are in today, the narrative would be that he is a trust fund kid. He can't win no matter which way you look at it. For having large sums of money and being successful on some level he is viewed as a failure.

I wont support him because he advocated for war crimes and I think hes no different than any of the "establishment" politicians at the end of the day. But this specific criticism is nonsense to me.
