This a great account of Trump before becoming president and how he was constantly enabled by his parents, society, and the media.

When one of Donnies casinos is in trouble, Fred Trump comes in, buys hundred of thousands in chips, pockets them and leaves. Everything is on camera but NJ lets Trump off with a fine. They should have shut him down.

He took credit for other people's real estate projects and the reporters never bothered to fact check him.

He ran scams constantly.

Trump is a monster created by people who would not hold him accountable.
