Excellent interview! Thank you. In early 2001, the Director I worked for took me to one of Donald Trumps’s golf courses in Northern California for lunch. On the dining room walls were all these covers of Time, Newsweek, Forbes magazine with Donald on the covers. They looked kinda sketchy not the level of covers these magazines usually have (before Photoshop was what it is now). I said wait, I subscribe to these magazines and Trump has not been on the cover during this time. I wrote down the dates, went home and found the issues, Trump was not the cover nor was he mentioned. He was perpetuating his big lie he was this massive success by creating bogus magazine covers touting his success. The amount of covers in the dining room at his golf course was abundant and obnoxious, and a total fabrication. And he continues the big lie to perpetuate his big grift. The harder he tries to build up this facade makes me ask, what is he trying to hide. World leaders see him as someone easily manipulated if they play to his enormous ego, and that’s why he is such a very real danger to our democracy.

[@gailflanagan1214]

[@artistlady1]

It's an amazing insight into the entire family! Excellent researching. I truly wish this story had been told prior to 2016.

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

This something rather different: it's a simple remiinder of what everybody knew at the time, but which Turmp has buried under layer after layer of ignornat and dishonest blither in the decades since. The fact is simple: television saved Trump from bankruptcy and then created the creature we're oppressed by now.

[@dixiechicken2643]

There was enough information out there to show he's a con. His entire life of stealing money, meant for people that worked for him. Even his sister went public about him trying to coerce his sick father, to sign their inheritance over to him. It certainly didn't matter to republicans, and independents, that he had a fake charity, that literally stole money meant for children, sick with cancer. It didn't matter that he had defrauded many, thru his fake university either. It also didn't matter to them, that he's been a drug addict since at least the 1970's. Those are more than just red flags. Those are bombs.

[@gailflanagan1214]

There were some old documentaries that I researched in 2016 but MAGA folks, as much as they are fans, never bother to research his past. One interesting movie that I watched around 2016/2017 is "Get Me Roger Stone." He proudly admits to being the scoundrel that he is.

[@rockier.8734]

Yes please, this is one that really gets my goat, when I first heard about it I was absolutely stunned, it's majorly concerning and frustrating and expected it to be a much bigger deal but it never seemed to get much attention from any of the press. It seems brushed under the rug and to this day the facts, to the extent there are any, seem to be extremely vague and and imo there is an astounding absence of curiosity from either those who supposedly have oversight over these things that work in government nor from any investigative journalism whose role is to inform the public especially when it's something so pertinent to so many aspects of our politics/zeightgeist/culture but also for national security, diplomatic relations, ethics, and everything in between.

Anthony, I was in the same business as Fred Trump. Hud looked for small builders that would build low-income housing. Hud offered 90% first mortgage and a 10% Builder., Sponsor, Profit, and Risk CSS allowance. We called it BSPRA! The negative to building with these low-in come loans was Hud controlled rental no income did not allow any cash flow for twenty years. Fred had management fees of 5% of low rental income tenants for the first twenty years. He built thousands of living units for migrates fleeing bombed out European cities. Without the government Fred would still be building garages.

It would be interesting to peek in on another timeline where he used his personality for good rather than self interest.

Him using his personality for good would never happen. He is a malignant narcissist and psychopath. It’s the dark triad of personality disorders. He is an empty vessel devoid of any true feelings. It’s rather sad but true.

I haven't finished the book yet, but I remember it mentioned a couple of times when Fred Sr. was around 77 he began to step back from working somewhat. Observing Donald at about that same age, it seems that his cognitive abilities are diminishing, and I wonder if it is possible that Fred was stepping back bc he recognized he was losing his mental acuity and given Fred's death from dementia at 86, maybe Donald is on the same course?
