If I read this correctly, Donald Trump Jr just said we're each going to get $40 million. USA! USA!

Donald Trump Jr. said it would be a “step down” for his father to become president.

Speaking with Fox News after the last presidential debate on Wednesday, Trump Jr. defended Republican nominee Donald Trump’s performance against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“He’s learning as he goes, because he’s a real American,” Trump Jr. said.

“Unlike Hillary Clinton ― who’s gotten very rich being a politician, peddling American influence ― he hasn’t,” he continued. “This isn’t only a step down, but he wants to make sure that all Americans, all ethnicities and backgrounds, have the same opportunities to do what he’s been able to do, to start a great family, start a great business.”

A National Journal writer, S.V. Dáte, estimated Trump started with $40 million in 1974 when he became president of his father’s real estate company. By one estimate, the firm was worth about $200 million. Divided among Donald Trump and his four siblings, each would have received $40 million.
