I guess in your mind no one who received a business loan worked hard to get where they are.

I'm not upset. I'm just pointing out that people give Trump way to much credit as this beacon of light for the "american dream", like he worked hard to get to where he is. No he just has some sort of strange charisma which I guess is some sort of social feat of strength, since he is the POTUS now. But as a business man, he was terrible at it compared to people in his league.
Success to me isn't about money or wealth, I dragged my ass from tens of thousands of dollars in debt to where I am now. And I'm happy with my current position. But my hard work will never give me the chance to see a million dollar pay out, or give me the hands, eyes and ears of advice from the rich and powerful. My hard work is what I wanted out of life.

Give me a million dollars and a rich dad with hundreds of powerful connections to start off an I get back to you.
Many people experience that, even if its to a lesser degree. Many generational businesses exist, with the money, clientele, and contacts that come with it. You just seem upset because it was a million. boo hoo.
Um. Many people don't experience that. Especially when you realize that the 1 million Trump got then would be equivalent to over 7 million today. And then to also be supplied with a bunch of other dirty tricksters (bankers, mobsters, etc.), an entire business network, a "job", a slew of 1% corporatocracy buddies, and sketchy lawyers to make sure you aren't touched and you always will have money behind you... sorry, "many" people don't go through life that way. Thankfully. As if we need more morally bankrupt masses (i.e. the swamp).

You're missing the point.
The loan is more of a side factor. It's who Trumps family was affiliated with and connections he had were the major factor. The rich mingle with the rich.
Did he have to actually budget for food, rent / mortgage payments, gas, bills, etc, etc?
I highly doubt it. Some people go through life not even knowing what a holiday is, all because they were born into poverty or made ONE mistake. Seems like Trump can make several and just shrug his shoulders "oops".

It's easy for you to type or say that. But many people go through life 'catching up'.
Once again, Trump born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and simply asked daddy for money, did he have to go through working part time during college? Did he have to pay off student debt? Did he have to finance a car, or mortgage a house? Did he have to actually budget for food, rent / mortgage payments, gas, bills, etc, etc?

Yet you overlook that Trump gained wealth over the period of his life.
Took one million and turned it into a fortune.
