Remember, Trump the great businessman built his empire from a "small loan of 1million dollars" from his dad, Fred Trump? Turns out, all b0ll0cks. He got the equivalent (todays dollars) of over 400million dollars from his dad and he still managed to go bankrupt 6 times.

In Donald J. Trump’s version of how he got rich, he was the master dealmaker who parlayed an initial $1 million loan from his father into a $10 billion empire. It was his guts and gumption that overcame setbacks, and his father, Fred C. Trump, was simply a cheerleader.
But an investigation by The New York Times shows that by age 3, Donald Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after he graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.
In all, financial records reveal, Mr. Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate empire.
