      Is it talking about him like he’s a saint to acknowledge that he actually did build a real estate empire from middle-class origins?

      Maybe that is something of a sainthood to some Americans.

        Yeah, it’s Worthington’s Law in action. I cannot reference this enough, because this is actually how many people think. I cannot believe how many conversations about Elon/Donnie/Bezos/Gates, etc all ended with the equivalent of “yeah, but he makes more money than YOU!” (which I nearly always sound not very distant from “My dad can beat up YOUR dad!”. It’s pathetic.
