This film was commissioned in 1988 by Leonard Stern as the first of a series on celebrity businessmen and finished in 1991. Back then, the only way for a film to be seen was on television or in the theater. Donald threatened to sue any broadcaster or distributor that took on the film. In effect, it was suppressed. It was screened twice in back-to-back standing room only showings at the Bridgehampton Community House on July 3, 1991, the same day that Donald announced his engagement to Marla Maples.
Also at Trump: What's the Deal?
Thank you, for posting this.
Guess what...? I love the guy now even more....
YOu people are losers...Total losers....
I want a president who kicks @ss. I don’t want a Kerry-Obama-Clinton-AlSharpton-Kennedy losers....who give a rats about us...
Great movie.... Get Carmike to show it... Will give Donald another 5 to 10 points...
And you think Ted Cruz is the man...? The big honest abe...?
Pathetic....that’s what I call the spirit behind this post....
Jim Robinson is right. We have half the people on this forum who have malicious intent. YOu show a movie that is over 25 years old...
LOLOL....I liked it...he hasn’t changed a bit...a little older looking....
People are just ‘eating their own’ and it isn’t going to work this time...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Hillary can’t stop the TRUMP, so keep sending crap out, we have more crap on you and Bill than you have on Trump!!!
Not a single trumpee cares. He has a free pass with the media for the free air time he wants and trumpees do not care.
Every thing he has thrown at Cruz is a lie and DT knows it. He using Alinsky tactics and lies and trumpees applaud him. It is beyond logic.
“But I can make deals”. Yeah he can bully some in business and screw people out of their money and that is just fine with trumpees. Wait til the deals he makes. He is not a conservative and his only principle is to himself.
Blind trust.
I don’t care if The Donald drinks white wine with steak,
if he fuels his Trump jet with the tears of Somali dog-meat vendors,
if he trims his pubic hairs with a Weed-eater,
if he uses a phony disabled parking tag at church,
he’s the bull the DC china shop needs, and he’s got my vote.
Wow! you watched a one hour and 20 minute movie in less than 20 minutes and you call us losers!
What’s this Davey, a 25 year old hit piece?
Better put it in breaking news.
Seriously, what's the point, since this was a hit piece solely made to besmirch Trump, by people who didn't like him in 1988 ?
This thread was posted, by you and bait for a FLAME WAR and a place where the most rabid Cruz supporters could say outrageous things.

@ppppolls Countdown to Trump calling Cruz “Rafael,” or, even better, “Felito.”
I am not a yuge Trump supporter, but y’all sure know how to drive more people into his camp. Ooh, beware the scary, evil, excessive, marketer, showman, salesman and capitalist.
Let me sell you a clue: People happen to remember the 80s with fondness, despite decades of the media trying to prove how bad it was. Hell, it was great! Anyone with a link of sense would rather have the same opportunity today.
Keep up the good work! I’m sure Trump appreciates the attention. ‘There’s no such thing as bad publicity’
Yeah...I fast forwarded the thing...it’s a lot of photo ops and very few words...it’s full of crap...as far as giving us insight...it doesn’t.
I’m supposed to sit and watch every second? Anyone can figure this out in the first ten minutes...
You can easily see the whole thing in ten minutes..with the sound bites. I’m going to watch the entire Larry King interview...the Goldberg interview...the parties.. Jackie Mason..?
It was a hit piece in 1991...It’s now a great campaign piece for Trump...Thank you...
I don’t see how this hurts the man...It helps him...
I think you again for posting it...
He’s a rough and tumble guy. The opposite of someone like yourself who play by the Marquis of Queensbury Rules.
Heaven forbid that you get mugged by a Muslim...or an illegal...or a son or daughter finds themselves in Iraq...
He mocked people who got in the way back then, as he does now...So, what’s the problem?
He’s trying to win...
I don’t suppose you remember the shady campaign underhanded stuff Romney pulled? He ran false ads on his opponents. Trump runs very few... He doesn’t need to.
Thank you again for the doc.... was silly, but will definitely help him...
Thank you for the video!
Matt Walsh has recently come out against Trump for President, and while several of his readers aren’t too happy about it, many of them are applauding his decision to do so.
Here’s his Facebook; he has hundreds of thousands of followers. He is a young Catholic Christian conservative family man, and a bit of wise guy too. His writings are easy to read and [I find them] entertaining.

LOL, you really think we should take you seriously, you who insists that Americans should elect a ‘natural born’ Canadian as their next president? Haven’t you had enough of the British one we’ve had thrown in our faces for the past 8 years?
Ping to self for later viewing.
Thank you for posting this. There are too many young voters who havent been around long enough to witness his background (gosh I am old - lol)!
Leonard Stern is the Chairman of Hartz Mountain Group...yes the pet company but also one of the biggest real estate magnates in NY/NJ, and after whom NYU's Stern School of Business is so named. He is a brutal businessman, kind of like Trump. Trump out-foxed him on the Waldorf Astoria and some other critical properties where Trump used his political influence to learn things early and get a jump on his uber-rival Stern. Stern didn't like that and decided to make this film to hurt his reputation so pols would shun him. Needless to say he utterly failed. Who has ever heard of Stern? And Trump may be the next President of the United States.
I kept reading about how Trump “supposedly” tried to steal the home of a 90 yr old woman. HE DID TRY! Then after doing research into how well the little town was doing after the Scotland golf course was built I found out about this documentary.
Boy, oh, boy, as a student in psychology and a listener, all I thought is exactly true. God is going to give America what she wants and will establish the ancient Babylon within our land. Unfortunately it was built on the backs of slaves, and similarly, the Trumpylon will be built on the backs of the American taxpayer.
To all who overcome, give glory to God in the highest for we will soon experience the peace on earth prophesied at the true Messiah’s birth and Babylon will be no more.
By the way, the filmmakers have posted it to YOUTUBE so you know they are concerned, too. May I suggest you post this again with the title “What’s the Deal? You’ve been Trumped” [he really is a politician!]
