President Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump’s “inherited” wealth on April 19 as he continued his campaign for the votes of  “American workers.”

“Some folks learn very different lessons growing up than you and I did,” the president told attendees at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) conference in Washington, adding that “they” and his opponent, President Trump, learned that the best way to get rich is to inherit it.
