A rare interview between Bob Vila of This Old House and President Donald Trump in Trump Towers, NYC. 1983.

1:10 - I would run for president. Every American ought to live like this and afford it.

[@jblue3163]

Wow younger Donald really looks like his son baron

[@TruthLayden]

Should upload whole episode, Please!

[@allright]

Why doesn't Bob Vila, have the same kind of cult following, that Bob Ross has? I want a Bob Vila pop funko figure, NOW!

[@johnnynbk]

He's just as legendary

[@tycox8704]

He does have a fan base. Even though his replacements were better narrators, he is special for being a pioneer.

[@johnkilo3]

The only reason why there is so much Bob Ross merch is because the people who stole the rights to his stuff (his son receives nothing) go crazy with merchandizing.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

It's my favorite home repairman with the President of the United States

[@generalzodbeavis801]

We sure need both of them right now 👍👍

[@williamjackson5942]

@@generalzodbeavis801 Trump is the biggest crook ever to step into the White House, and thats saying something! He is also a major grifter...

[@Jeff-fs3rn]

Two of the biggest blowhards of all time. A know nothing pretend contractor, and a moron who was the worst president of all time.

[@TheMyeloman]

@@mommymilestones agreed 100%, and these two make a perfect pair of on-air conmen, duping Americans into thinking they have skills far beyond their actual capabilities...

[@busman2050]

No we don't

[@townrumor]

Life is great 😌

[@ReversePanda]

Wow, *before* the dementia, this is a striking difference.

[@RCCarDude]

I wonder if "This Old House" would ever consider helping rehabilitate a skyscraper/high rise. Probably have to be a few in Massachusetts that could use it.

[@richgirl4972]

I'm watching this after the Donald Trump movie came out.

[@sebastiankinnunen5549]

Really it is fantastic this Trump Tower.He was one step ahead! And he looked very handsome. Together with Ivana they had beautiful talented children. Love from Finland

[@elizabethzieman1059]

He’s actually coherent!

[@yankeejade]

Didn't care for trump back then and I still don't now however the similarities of physical appearances of Baron and his dad back in the early 80's is quite taken back and amazing. Hopefully Baron grows up to have a moral compass and compassion.

[@mr.x8259]

Wow.

[@JH-qi7fz]

Absolutely amazing! The greatest home improvement guru and the greatest president of all time together.

[@callicordova4066]

Neither.

[@TheMyeloman]

Trying for the greatest joke of all time? Don't quit your day job...

[@soupcon4331]

Poor soul! 😂😂😂

[@dixonhill1108]

So stranger they're the same age and it looked like there was 2 decades between them.

[@cygnustsp]

Trump still sounds like this, someone look at Biden in 1988 and him now

[@ARon82]

Bob Vila is the GOAT

[@Jeff-fs3rn]

No, no he's not.

[@Itanium153]

Trump Plaza AC was the little Brother. RIP YP AC-2014

[@bobvila7866]

Good times

[@allright]

Joe Biden would be trying to sniff Bob Vila's beard.

[@stephendennis5969]

No joke laughed right out loud at this one! It’s spot on 🤣

[@allright]

@@williamjackson5942 nice little rhyme, it must have took you a week to come up with that, now go back to flipping burgers.

@@allright I'm sensing a liberal who had their feelings hurt.

[@broadstreet21]

Trump seems mild mannered next to Villa, here anyway.

[@Lewisevans1618]

Great President 👍🇺🇸✌️

[@soupcon4331]

Worst President EVER! That’s what history will record

[@busman2050]

Trump was worst of all time. Hope he finally goes to prison

[@dadduorp]

“Is it true Donald, that you have yet to pay the contractors for the work they did for you?” - Vila’s edited out segment

[@tycox8704]

EVERY size-able construction project has “unpaid” subcontractors. They aren’t literally unpaid unless they fail to meet expectations. They are _under-paid_ because they under-estimate their own costs when they bid.

[@richiejohnson]

​@@tycox8704No, dude. Unpaid = unpaid. Stiffed. Robbed. Swindled. Trumped.

[@tycox8704]

@@richiejohnson Rarely the case unless a client-or the general contractor-is bankrupt. More oft than not a subcontractor underestimates or under delivers.

[@richiejohnson]

@@tycox8704 Seems counterintuitive, but l yield to your expertise

[@tycox8704]

@@richiejohnson It’s not my expertise, but it is for my stepsons, who have construction-related businesses partnering with general contractors. They have been unpaid by bankrupt clients AND had to deal with subcontractors who have poor pricing skills.

You don’t age well either.
