No, you didn't. But you commented on Trump, essentially suggesting [I think] he was born with a silver spoon.

My comment was, yes, he was born with money but that is not disqualifying. While he didn't earn the money he was born with his father likely sacrificed so that Donald could have his share of it. I don't look at that and say he's lucky. I look at it and say, "His dad probably worked hard just so he could leave that money to his son."

I just think it is important to recognize that, while Donald hit the ground running, so did untold numbers of other people as a result of his dad's success, a success that was likely a product of sacrifices made by the dad. While the other people didn't benefit as much as Donald, there were probably a lot of them.
