I think it's worthy to note that Mr. Trump, while extremely successful today, is not what I'd call "self-made"; similarly I wouldn't call Howard Hughes "self-made" even though they are both highly successful businessmen.

His father Fred Trump was a successful property developer that helped form the young Donald's business sense. Donald acknowledged his father's influence by stating that ?My father was my mentor, and I learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry from him.?.
Trump began his career in his family's real estate business after studying at the Wharton Business School. He worked with his father for five years and was extremely successful in making profitable deals.
Just some food for thought... no need praying to false idols
