He inherited his wealth. That's not to say he's not a hard worker, but it wasn't hard work which made him rich, it was his father, and there's not a single thing wrong with that.
As to whether or not he works harder than the average American, I don't think that can be answered. From a physical exertion perspective, I would say he does not. The average Joe works much harder. But the average Joe probably spends far less time actually on the job. Whether you like him or not, Trump is at work 24/7, even if he's on vacation.
Surely there will be those whiners who'll respond about how horribly lazy the man is but, like it or not, the man built an empire. They might not like the king of that empire, but it's an empire nonetheless, and I don't think you can do that by being lazy...
Courage is knowing that something will hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. That's why life is hard...
