Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

@doleo @Ulrich_the_Old
It is a concept that supposedly is needed in order for us to succeed. As a concept, it is used to bury the fact that many of our “successful” citizens (read rich) actually inherited their monies or “knew someone”. It is also used to explain poverty…. That is, if you are not successful, it is your own fault because you did not work hard enough.

Basically victim blaming and on the flip side of the coin pretending that the presence of wealth proves that they deserve what they own.

It's not victim blaming to say something is your fault for choosing the wrong parents to be born to! Sheesh!
