A commenter alerted me to a documentary on Donald Trump -- recently uploaded to YouTube -- that appears to have been produced in the late 1980s. Rumor has it that one of Mr. Trump's legendary lawsuits suppressed its distribution.
It's very -- very -- interesting.
The vid features NYC icons Jimmy Breslin and Ed Koch as well as some New York Times punks, along with a range of typical, workaday jamokes like you and me.
It seems to get to the heart of who Donald Trump really is.
There's stuff to admire -- and condemn.
(video at link)
As mentioned previously, I think that Trump is strong on immigration:

About the same time President Reagan signed a Bill giving Three Million (maybe even more) Illegal Invaders Amnesty?
Trump is my second choice behind Cruz, but this stuff is absolutely ridiculous.
It’s about time that white people wake up and accept the fact that we’re the only ethnic group that doesn’t factor in skin color or ethnicity into our voting decisions.
Every other group does, the democrats have recognized it and are exploiting it.
By and large, blacks, browns and muslims will NEVER vote for conservatives aka republicans in large numbers and if white Americans don’t realize that soon we’re going to become a minority in both population and political influence in this country.
And he will win NV and march thru the South with victory after victory on Super Tuesday. Trump just received a major unintended boost from the Pope who criticized Trump for advocating the construction of a Wall between Mexico and the US. The Pope prefers bridges—I guess to facilitate the hoards of illegal aliens crossing into the US.
1990? Really? This is EARLY stuff, and WAY behind the curve of the trajectory that The Donald has been on for the past 40 years. The Donald lives large, to a degree that most of us cannot even imagine, but the image still remains of the “billionaire next door”, just a middle-class guy with a little more money that most of the rest of us.
How many HUNDREDS of times has The Donald been written off, as a “failure” or a “phony” or a “liar”, and has recovered from the stumble again and again, to stride forth even more confidently and forcefully than ever?
Not much less than one in the heart is ever going to stop The Donald. He is the ultimate Type A personality.
It’s a good thing that The Pope doesn’t know about Cruz’s immigration policy...

commit this to memory:
brevity is the soul of wit.
I see your post. my eyes glaze over. i move on without looking at anything.
Good...keep the blinders on...you’ll do well with that.
The Pope just gave a huge boost to Trump who now owns the Wall by himself. The vast majority of Americans want a wall built. Thanks Pope.
Twitter is on fire with people posting pictures of that huge wall surrounding Vatican City.
If that is how he worships, I don’t judge. God will. I am voting for a president who loves America, let’s me worship as I choose and is not muslim.
Don’t worry about how many times it’s posted. I miss threads all the time. Those who are still have not decided and do research will appreciate the link.
1983 NYTimes [Nothing has changed much...]
“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record. [WHY - I wonder?]”

why? might have something to do with lawyers since he thinks suing people is fun, a game, like running for president?
Recent Scotland eminent domain lawsuit...Didn’t make news here but the Scot redneck would not be budged and was given an award for his perseverance.

Trump had the homes within view of his “greatest golf course in the world” (lost money last 3 years) blocked with trees and piles of dirt. Now those who have lived there for 40 years cannot see the “preservation” dunes and ocean.

What does he do later? He sues the Scottish government when they want to put up windmills within view from the course because it would take away from the pleasure of the view from his course.
“He alleged in the judicial review that his own human rights had been breached, because the windfarm, which is funded by the European commission and supported by many local organisations which had also backed Trump’s golf resort, interfered with his “peaceful enjoyment of his property”.”

Guid cheerio the nou!
Sorry, “Those who are still have” should be “Those who still have not decided...”
I guess the Pope doesn't understand the concept of national sovereignty.
Thank you for posting this informative video....I listened to the entire video....you are right saying it’s very very interesting.....
I had noted articles written about these events and various shyster moves Trumps made.....he’s crooked and I knew it early.... but it was great the producers tied it together as they did.
As for catnipmans snarky remark....not everyone on FR reads thread to thread 24/7... some of us o work and have life outside FR. We don’t LIVE here....as he might since he noted how often this was supposedly posted.
This video isn’t throwing mud ....it’s a matter of Trumps history and vetting the man...though we know Trumpsters have no interest in doing so. The documentary was interesting and there are plenty of articles since that time that substantiate much of it......besides it does show that Trump is no different today then he was then and that pretty much sums it up.
Interesting when they mentioned toward the end Trump has no where else to go unless he wants to be another Howard Hughes recluse. As I’ve mentioned before I saw his run as just another notch in his belt before he exits the stage.....and this to get his hand in the Washington “Pie”......he’ll make certain the Pelosi’s and Reid’s and others continue to have their windfalls while he absorbs and dishes out to himself and his buddies.
He no longer wanted to entertain the political elites......he wants in their game that he’s only been able to skirt the outer service.
....”this stuff is absolutely ridiculous”....
If you researched the guy you’d find that it’s not.......I never saw this video until today but I have long known of Trumps dirty business as it’s pretty well known and published about by others who he’s done business with now and over the years........his paying off politicians hasn’t been to just support their runs....truth be told much of it was bribes....and still is so.
Trump has admitted as much if people listen to what he’s said.
You’re welcome, but I can’t take credit for the comments...they were from the article at the site where I saw the video posted.
