8. Watch the Netflix documentary series Dirty Money #6

The series is about financial scams and corruption in a variety of industries and occupations, from pharmaceuticals to NASCAR. The kicker is Episode #6. It's all about Trump, and what a scam artist he is. There is a segment featuring Mark Burnett and the other producer of Apprentice. They say that at the time Trump took the Apprentice gig he was essentially broke, no bank would lend him money, he had been reduced to doing Pizza Hut commercials to make money. So they actually thought the show would be kind of a spoof -- the biggest loser pretending to be a kingmaker. Trump didn't even have a real office at the time, they built the board room and reception area as studio sets, because Trump's tiny office was a joke. Very enlightening series, but even if you don't watch the other 5, watch episode 6. Lots of info about Felix Sater, too.
