1991 Donald Trump documentary Trump: What's the Deal

[136or142]

I hope it's legal to post this here.  The filmmaker claims that Donald Trump forced this film to be suppressed for years but later was able to post it on YouTube.  However, he is now selling streaming of the documentary on his website.  So, I don't know if this Youtube video is a copyright violation.

Anyway

If the documentary is accurate, Trump made his money by using his father's influence to get in the development business in the first place, then, after having achieved that, essentially and sometimes literally bribed politicians to get sweetheart deals that allowed him to get his buildings to have more floors than originally agreed  (I understand that making commercial and personal rental buildings as tall as possible is the key to making money in real estate) and that gave him large tax abatement deals.

He financed the construction of the buildings through high interest loans while putting no money down (the equivalent of junk bonds) and in order to pay off the loans went into the casino business.  The documentary alleges that Trump bought out at least one casino operation by what sounded to me like essentially a 'pump and dump' scheme that left all the other investors empty handed.

The documentary also claims that Donald Trump, at least when it came out in 1991, had a violent temper, blamed former business partners who had been killed in a helicopter crash months before for his then current business failings, completely frightened Ivanna Trump, frightened his corporate executives half the time, used aliases to try to cover his shady business dealings, and regarding deceiving his business partners, contractors and the public at large as standard business practices (and similarly sometimes threatening violence).

I don't know, maybe that's what some people want in a President, but if this is documentary is accurate, he's likely a psychopath.

Likely? He's the textbook definition.

Thanks, I forgot to put the link in.  Stupid me.  I should never be President either.

I don't believe any person, qualified or not, should ever make a definitive diagnosis of somebody just on the basis of media reports.  Also,  that documentary points out that Donald Trump liked suing people at the time, so, it's probably not best to be declarative on that even if you are certain of it (which I'm not for the reason I wrote above.).  I don't think you can call somebody that and say "that's just my opinion' as the term has a technical and literal meaning.

He didn't. He said Donald Trump is likely a psychopath. Since Trump matches almost all the criteria, that's a reasonable conclusion, but not definitive.

Trump shows signs of being a sociopath.

But most billionaires would.

There are a couple of these videos floating around in a similar vein.

I cannot believe Trump can cope with the amount of media pressure being placed on him.

It must be an obscene amount of pressure.
