Romney is a strange part of american politics.. for example, obamacare is basically the same thing that Romney suggested.. what was called 'Romney Care' at the time

Trump not only got an inheritance, he also got entire projects funded by his parents. If I recall correctly there was multiple real estate investments while he was still in college. They were apartment complexes or condo units; His parents bought them for him, paid for the repairs and upgrades, and he sold them and made a nice profit.
You can't say he is a good business man. His parents helped him make hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions before he was legal drinking age - and that was back in the late 1970s. His parents gave him the initial investments, helped him make tons of money, and gave him the contacts to do more of the same. Then with the inheritance he was set for life. He couldn't really fail, yet he did - multiple times. Trump has been through bankruptcies four times. With other projects when he fails, he doesn't lose money - his investors do.
