"The Making of Donald Trump": David Cay Johnston on Trump's Ties to the Mob & Drug Traffickers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- democracynow.org - David Cay Johnston began covering Donald Trump in the 1980s when he was working as the Atlantic City reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Johnston’s new book, "The Making of Donald Trump," looks at a side of Trump seldom covered in the press: his ties to the mob, drug traffickers and felons.

David Cay Johnston, you were so very right about DJT.
Agree. This is why we need investigative journalists and why we need them to have more media coverage of their work. He was warning us before Trump became President in 2016.
Proof this guy is wrong one name GO BRANDON.
David Cay Johnson is America's Wise Man. Forget all these guys on RUclips applying for that significance, Johnson would do America Proud to be elected President.
Great interview. Let’s hope he spends the rest of his evil life in jail as a warning to other cowardly murderous would be dictators.
Its fascinating that David Cay Johnston is a registered Republican
Wonder if in 2023 he still is????
Beautiful.
This is a bull crap story a comedy
I figured trump was filth. Had no idea how correct I was. Thank you Democracy Now & Mr. Cay. Thank you.
Me too but NEVER have dreamed . . . .
From the get go we knew. Ad agency material. When you think you are “called” or God or Jesus as Rod Serling said “you have just crossed over to the Twilight Zone.”
@@phylis3917 you guys are crazy 🤣
Anyone with half a brain knows how corrupt he is, and I'm an Englishman!
❤David Cay Johnston. Long time follower. Intelligent person. Thank You 🎉
He should be PRESIDENT.
What sad condition is American law and law enforcement.
Tragic, crude, no scruples at all, a heartbreaking lack of justice.
This a very pertinent interview today, in 2024. Thanks, Amy.
Why is this information not being discussed on every media outlet in the country? This is horrendous.
Probably because it's thirty years old and irrelevant. Why are they ignoring the Loretta Lynch ruling ignoring the FBI recommendations to investigate the Clinton Foundation money laundering and racketeering? Watch Clinton Cash right here and see if you agree with Loretta.
Because it's crap and if they start putting this BS on the media, then the 100's of much more horrendous stories of the Clinton's will make this seem like a happy fairytale...and I can assure you, her sins are way worse than anything Trump has done or would do!
30 years old my ass. A Trump never changes it's greedy, self centered, egomaniacal stripes.
One thing I have learned, it's that when it comes to threatening or terrorizing, the MAGA-NUT'S are in for a penny and down for a pounding.
Hating is all they do...nothing else can entertain them except the Fox Hoax News, Jerry Springer Show or KKK Meetings at church Sunday morning
He has been a failure his whole life
Wow. This should be required viewing for every voter.
For most of the cultist wouldn’t understand or believe it if they could comprehend they are impervious to facts or history or evidence please America wake up vote blue
You’re absolutely right! Forward it to everyone on your list!
@@Shelorawise. Thanks for the reminder. Here we are 7 years after this was posted 😢 and we’re in hell yet again
Devastating interview. Donald Trump is one of the greatest crooks that has ever lived. But what is more frightening, apocalyptic in fact, is that a lot of people can't see it.
Because it doesn't exist
HI HARRY CHANDLER
What planet do you live on, Harry???
Because they’re already mind controlled so they’re easier to fool. They just see a ‘savior’. and believe his lies about ‘loving’ them. He’s NOT a savior. Quite the opposite.
So then don't vote for him if you don't want him
"You knew damned well I was a snake before you took me in".
One of the old blob’s favourite lines
Not all snakes are trouble. All are some people's metaphor for minorities.
You will get old too. With age comes wisdom
"He doesn't see people as PEOPLE. He sees people as THINGS TO BE USED (for his own benefit)."
- David Cay Johnston.
Read and Weep.
He isn't setting foot on the White House ever again AND he never should have been there to begin with.
If they only knew. A shell game.
Amen!!!!!!
Thanks Democracy Now for posting this . I didn’t know many of the specifics Mr Johnson described. I’m terrified of Defendant Trump’s election. It’s unimaginable.
He's a habitual criminal thief and a master of kleptocratic schemes.
Mr. Johnston is painfully right.
Bull Moose Republican pushes back on an Emperor with no clothes.
Was he looking out for a cocaine trafficker because he was his supplier? Some have suggested that years of drug abuse is the reason he is now incontinent & back in diapers.
Idk about coke, but he appears to do Pseudo/Pseuda/suda think Breaking Bad he has photos of tons of boxes of them right in his desk 😮 he was too braggadocious to even NOTICE to hide them while he wanted to be on camera. Fail.
I think that it is worth noting that David Cay Johnston is a lifelong registered Republican. We should pay close attention to what Mr. Johnston says about Trump.
What is amazing is the number of old school Republicans coming out now to raise the alarm ⏰ on trump the carpet bagger.
@@davidhaynes3126I know. Im happy they are finally speaking out and also furious that some of them WAITED UNTIL THE 11TH HOUR. I just washed a Karl Rove video warning of how unstable lethal drumpf is and warning of his 2024 loss, the danger that could happen due to loonATic maga
He was profetic, everything he said has happened, everything!
Unfucking believable this guy Trump
Isn't it great? I've never seen someone who can get as many criminal's panties in a bunch than Citizen Trump! GO TRUMP! All the way to the WH!
I forget who it was who asked, "How do you lose money running a casino?"
because he took all the profits for himself.
Hillary
He skimmed cash with having mob guys going into counting rooms and just taking money. They knew that if any one said anything they were risking their life. He got so greedy that he couldn't pay a 350k payment to bank. His father bought a check but couldn't give it to them without reporting it. His dad went to cashier got it in cash spent 10 minutes gambling then gave trump the cash. He also skated owing State if New Jersey 40 million in taxes from winnings. Guess who was Governor? Chris Christie. Maybe that's why he skated
Easy, Trump took cash out and did not reinvest in his casinos!!
He loaded them up with his personal debts and then filed bankruptcy 4 times!!
Dumb
We need to purge our government of Republican and Democrat greedy, self-serving, corporatist politicians. It would be great if we could all learn from this that we don't any longer listen to their words. We will watch their actions and if they don't fight for us, their employers, they're out.
Donald Trump still has that mob mentality
Thank you for sharing the truth about who Donald Trump is.
OMG 😮 I’m listening to this 3.2.2024 and just noticed it’s 7 years old.
Some of his followers said he was a businessman they didn't say he was honest businessman🦅.
Trump said he was with $10,000,000,000 Dollars. Did he lose it playing craps? Is it in a Moscow bank? Is he hiding it offshore? Or was Trump lying again?
i thaught america couldnt get any stupider but i was wrong
I just watched ''The Making of Donald Trump'', eye opener experience ...
What can anyone see in this Man as a leader of the people? God help US!
Trump being God is the best SCAM going ever since 300AD when ''Emporer Constantine'' had the Bible written so as to give the slaves hope!
...60,000 edits later and we still have no proof of God's exsistance huh? I am not going to design my life around the most confused fairy-tale book ever written! We have proof these, "New Trump Nazi Cable Preachers,' get on the air & preach to the Senior's Social Security Checks. Look at Rev. Tilton, Jim Baker, etc. Begging for money the entire program and telling the viewers to vote for Trump their, "New Orange Jesus Christ.'' LOL
No, no. Don't ask god to help us. God doesn't pick sides. It's up to us to take care of this little problem of the guy who thinks his "numbers" are second only to god. Demented donnie the Diaper will soon be claiming he's above God. The weak Christians with no morals left won't see a problem with this. The Orange Jesus already thinks he's done more for "the Black folks" than Abraham Lincoln!
Z
such a joke of a human he didn't get any morals nor ethics, I wouldn't do business with him or frequent any of his establishments, The Great Deceiver
Donald Trump - “I’m a Christian. I have never asked for forgiveness. When it comes to forgiveness, I don’t bring God into that picture.”
So he denies that he is a sinner and ultimately denies Jesus Christ. He has stated that his favorite Bible verse is “Eye for an eye.” He is a deceiver.
Remember: Trump went to a NRA shop and supposedly bought one so he may be packin some heat at the debate.
Trump knows he has very little chance of debating against Nikki.
Trump knows he hasn't got a chance in the world of beating Biden in a promptless debate! NOT A CHANCE!
Trumpy's problem is that he has no retention of historical events, facts, protocols or policies. NOTHING!
Ask those you wronged. Ask God for guide in the mitigations
❤
Trump is very capable of arguing with himself. And lose.
David Cay Johnston is a writer I trust
It's so obvious that a serial trophy wife acquirer is a narcissist.
Sadly, this was published before the election and he was elected anyway.
It is now November 2023 and DJT still has NOT released his tax returns.
They have his tax returns for the financial fraud trials in New York now. He didn't give them, the courts were able to get them by law.
DCJ, I appreciate you! take care.
Well...America will pay dearly very soon.
Your comment, even though was written 3 years ago couldn’t be more accurate than it is today (6/21/20).
@@alvaroakatico9188: and another 3 years later he's still wrecking havoc on the political scene as he campaigns for another run at being potus amid 4 indictments, 94 charges. His speeches are getting ever more violent, causes more random violence, the house got is a mess.... it's crazy
@@dianedenham5259You probably remember the good old days of decades of war for bullock reasons. If you think people are enjoying one of the most corrupt old goats pretending to President compared to the good times we were having in 2019 you are wrong.
How he claims to be a man of God is a sham. But I knew it.
@@alvaroakatico9188I’m here in 2024 after Holy Week Easter where Defendant drumpf was trying to peddle SELLING BIBLES FOR $60 EACH to help pay for making his JAIL BOND, court appeals, atty fees and alll the other money he OWES !
Very Good!
Thank you for posting this is.
eye opening facts of a con artist
Backgrounds are important, no matter how far back because they reveal what kind of person they are.
"Donald doesn't know anything." Has he learned anything since?
David Cat Johnston I thank you all for this Video.
Allan.
Trump was in the, cocaine business too
Really?
This should have logged more views.
WoW💯💯💯
very interesting - thank you for sharing this interview
Yes, we were warned!
Never act too big to fail.
ABSOLUTELY
In the debate clip Trump sounds like some one interviewing for a job, that knows nothing about the job he is applying for.
This SHOULD be returned to view 2024 great information. TY
Yes keep playing this all election year.
DID HE SAY, "If we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them?" OR, DID HE SAY, "Why do we have nuclear weapons, if we can't use them?"
Wow!!!!!
This video needs to be reposted today so that it can be seen by more people NOW.
Economic Terror is a great term.
That is how it felt for the first 2/3s of my life.
It’s now July 31st 2019 why wasn’t this covered in the main news stations? Wow Sad!!!
It was on MSNBC. Look up Rachael Maddow slowly revealing the Trump Foundation and the blatant thievery. Over 2 weeks she slowly bought it up every other day. Giving Trump Orgizination a chance to reply. Nothing . She then went on and once again said we asked for a answer but no reply. She had the story from beginning and gave them a chance to reply. It all came down to a potrait of him. It was obvious of crimes but this ended up showing how vain he is.
It's 2024 now it's being played and he's running again. It's terrifying. "No one reads the bible more than me" he claims. But it's not true.
@@lyndamedley543amen! Exactly !!! What a liar narcissist demon-minded in-human he is
The "bully" story was hard hitting - not.
Reagan proved having no idea is a plus for Republicans.
Qualificatios?
Normalizing mob connections?
Yikes!
he creates awards to give to himself...lmfao
The Clintons give very generously to charity -- their own!
+M McP 👍😅
so what? you guys don't care what he says or did, we don't care what she does.-Stalemate. Too bad for your side.
Right... The Clintons donate money to their own charity which then allocates that money to people who need it. The Trump foundation gets virtually no money from Donald Trump.
In addition, Trump withdraws money from his own foundation to buy gifts for himself. Not only that but some of those gifts are 10ft tall paintings of himself. What a self worshipping narcissist.
TheGatesOfFire hey troll go back to fox and brietbart where you belong... bullies! You are bullies and we ... are... not .... scared
I wonder which one of his cronies will tell tRump which 'button' to press? God help us all!
2018, wtf happened to be Canadian I feel for our neighbors due south, and we worry about any repercussions, a wall?
No wall between Canada and America ever!!! My friends to the North. Let's not ever allow that.
trump stays one step ahead of his baggage by throwing out ridiculous soundbites once a week, donald knows that if the dust settles around him he'll probably end up in jail. it's the game a con man plays.
7 years later you are still right and the depraved demon has only gotten worse
Trump could not answer the question
goodbye freedom.
HELLo trump.
why does it not allow share?
Republican are fine with all these as long as the crook is part of them?
Wow, what an excellent interview and information!
And it was 7 years ago, he just said everything that has happened after and during those 7 years before they happened! 😮
As to the Donald vs. Christianity: A.H. was also fond of using Christianity for his own purposes while he actually believed in paganism as the "real" belief system of the Nordic peoples. Which has some logic going for it.
Yeah. A.H. even killed about a hundred Christians in total, iirc. He was an atheist through and through and had ZERO need for religion nor Christianity faith.
I agree, offensive when Trump mentions anything religious.
David is very learned
On many topics ! On
All things Trump he is
An Expert. !!!! Ask Mary Trump😮🌊🌊
#45 Affluent in…MASTER MANIPULATION!!!

I keep trying to get the following across to people who think that banning certain "illegal" substances or behaviors is the best way to control them (for example drugs and prostitution), when in reality all this does is to create *violent criminal gangs* which immediately form to provide the things that were just made illegal!
This ALWAYS happens when clueless busybodies interfere with reason, for example alcohol prohibition in the early 20th century gave us Al Capone among others, then marijuana prohibition was tried shortly afterwards with even worse results as it became worldwide and only recently was given up, then heroin prohibition with even worse worldwide results, and on and on.
Some countries have started to learn to do something about this, recently Portugal when it legalized most if not all drug use, substituting punishment with treatment when necessary with spectacular success! Many European countries have also learned this lesson, including legalizing prostitution to the great benefit health-wise of all concerned (to a rather surprising extent to this American tourist if truth be told), and is some cases even really "hard" drugs like heroin, which in fact has legitimate medical uses besides just getting people high.
This urge to "punish sinners," so to speak, is a leftover from previous centuries that were overrun by religious extremism to such an extent that people were being *burned ta the stake* for the victimless "crime" of blasphemy!! Such behavior does not reflect well on the so-called "value" of humanity, to put it mildly.
To sum up, my particular guideline is the following: Whatever two or more *Consenting Adults* do behind closed doors IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT THEIR OWN - PERIOD!!!"
Never forget
Rubio what an embarrassment Another air head
That was very informative 👍 😮
"So powerful and so important:
trump is an elected politician and as such reflects the values of his voters. this is the truth of any democratic election: the elected reflect the people and it's values, for better or for worse.
“I love the uneducated”
GROAN!
Values? What do you know about him before his Reality? Show? This sad excuse for a man had 3 kids under 10 and a wife. He has a affair with a 25 year old lady and does it just to create headlines in Manhattan. It got so good it was nationwide papers,magazines, talk shows. He never showed any guilt or remorse. Lookup a 1992 interview with Charlie Rose. It is him at his same lines he has said for 40 years. He wouldn't even admit his affair. He finally said' I had a friend '. I don't care how rich he is. Many people think we'll he is rich and you don't know why he did it. Any guy who cheats on his wife is a scumbag. Doing it in public is just not caring about anyone buy yourself. I am sure your daughter treated that way would be ok with you.
@@shawnyoung8752thank you! You are telling the absolute truth, I know and remember! Don’t forget during this time period he also r@ped Ivana and she told the divorce court the truth about it.
@@shawnyoung8752and thanks for the 1992 charlie rose mention. Back in the day I did see a few Rose interviews with Donald, but I don’t remember the details
And extremely, extremely, biggly
Are you going to take the red pill or the blue pill
We all have to choose one.
Greatest THREAT to our country
I don’t understand why people have to learn about this on RUclips. Why isn’t it in the news? Like the original 4. ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. People used to trust the news.
Cause they are to busy watching reality TV. Like the classy Kardashians or survivor. Dancing with the forgotten b actors. Then the grandaddy of them all. Trumps stupid show. That's what got him elected.
@@shawnyoung8752yes!!!😢
Braindead countrymen. Our nation is sick! This should’ve aired on PBS at the very least
Great interview, way overdue to lock Diaper Donald J Trump up!
Jail
And?
You know what??? Every story has 3 sides; yours- mine and the truth.
The part I liked about this interview was "the award" part.....LOL
Really. ...giving yourself a award is the best!- I would do that myself.
Looking for the sequel “The Baking of Donald Trump”.
Shame 😔
AMEN TO THAT
Good point
Trump accused of sharing classified information with😮Russian officials during a meeting in the White House.
Trump had secret with Putin alone behind close doors😮
2:15 Here is Trump on CNN. Does that mean everything he's saying is fake?
No, that only means you’re a
a-hole.
Judge Maryann trump Berry was right to recuse herself
RIP, Judge Barry.
best book about Trump’s background
Organized international group of criminals
wonder how much money hillary and her corrupt friends are paying him and let's not be naive casinos in ac are like garbage in new York ether you do business with the wise guys or your found in a landfill along with the trash that came out of what used to be your trucks the goverment and stupid operating fees they are there version of the mobs extortion rackets and what about all the drugs that were smuggled by the cia and Oliver north in contras affair that started the nationwide Crack epidemic
Trump says nucular rather than nuclear
he learned that from George W!
No, he can't learn. He seems to have the vocabulary of a third grader.
Don't see it getting better until trump is shut down.
His dad borrowed money from the government and then screwed them over on expenses of janitorial spending on his taxes. He overloaded his expenses.
that's right he's not your everyday politician that are Crooks that's why everybody loves him he tells it like it is and people don't like to hear it.
except in the numerous well-documented cases discussed right here where he does the opposite - lies.
He lies more than any politician in history. There is documented proof of it, open your eyes to see it. You must have absolutely abysmal people skills and social intelligence to think he is not...watch his body language and facial expressions. He clearly doesn't care about others in any meaningful way other than how they can further enrich his life and that is just the ones that really matter like his children and "wife". He lies like few I've ever met or seen...you know those kids who always have a story about how they always did more and saw more or whatever is perceived as better in the given situation and they lie about it even though doing so makes them look stupid and needy because what they clamor to take credit for is so meaningless? Something like "oh I saw this albino squirrel running around the neighborhood yesterday"...and he would say "Fuck the Mexicans!", sorry I mean "I saw 2 albino squirrels a couple weeks ago riding a jet ski."
tells like it is? a drunkard a bar can do that. that is not a qualification for US president you idiot
Trump isn't your ordinary crook. He has every intention of ruining our democracy. Everything Mr. Johnson said is the sad truth.
He had and still has no clue!
Finally someone honest about dumpster trump
