The man inherited his wealth.

Very rich person Donald Trump Jr., who inherited his wealth from his father, would like to make a point about socialism. To do it he's going to use his innocent child, Chloe.

The president's son tweeted a photo of his daughter Chloe looking sad on Tuesday holding up a bucket filled with Halloween candy. "I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism," he wrote.

OK.

While Trump using his kid to make a political statement is gross at the very least, some found the whole thing just a little ridiculous, considering the man inherited his wealth from his father, who inherited his wealth from his father.

Others replied with the pretty obvious holes in Trump's socialism argument while pointing out that a compassionate lesson can also come with sharing with those less fortunate.

Regardless of your thoughts on socialism, Trump trying to make a point by using his innocent child was cheap at best, and lacked any sense of compassion and self-awareness.

Sure sounds like a Trump.
