HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2016
- In his detailed account of Donald Trump’s astonishing political success, Johnston, an award-winning New York Times investigative journalist and currently a columnist for USA Today, looks closely at Trump’s business practices, his associates, and his family background. Johnston sheds light on many of Trump’s beliefs, delving into his father’s Ku Klux Klan involvement and into Trump’s own ties with organized crime, as well as laying out how Trump has actually managed real estate, run casinos, and experienced numerous bankruptcies even while amassing huge wealth.

David Cay Johnston, assessment of Donald trump, is so accurate. I've read what Mary Trump has written also, and it's a parallel story really.
Thank you, David.There cannot be too many books on Trump. We have to help people understand Trump's pathology. It requires multiple venues and lots of repetition.
Trump Derangement Syndrome

Talk about refreshing. Shows us we aren't all asleep! Great speaker!
It's absolutely astounding how prescient David Cay Johnston has been about (3x5)3** since at least 2016, before the presidential elections. The trouble is that the voters did not care to listen or didn't care if what he was saying was true. Voting is not limited to the intelligent and reasonably well-informed in America. This of course, is not at all new. Thanks Mr. Johnston, your brilliance and ability to present fascinating, true stories is a gift, even if many who should, don't listen or hear you.
Best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. It is not any surprise thst he knew what Donald might do.
He has followed Trump since the 1980s. SINCE THE 1980S!
Yeah. Right there in rhe beginning when DCJ starts speaking. 1988.
You are fake news!
@@jamesamelia2812 Is this an English sentence? Who is the "you" you are referring to? A Person? A piece of news?
@@waggishsagacity7947 You want to know? Sure, no problem. Everyone who claims to have a "smoking gun" bit of evidence. It also includes all members of the media who are entirely hostile towards Trump and his family and friends. People like this journalist are doing nothing more than slandering Trump and he is making money off of it. That is what that jackass, Glenn Simpson, did by crafting a dossier of lies that has been exposed as a hoax. I HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF SLANDER! I f*cking hate people who spread lies about other people! These journalists and their supporters, like the female introducing him, have adopted an attitude that they are elitists and everyone else in America who doesn't think the same way is either racist, xenophobic, chauvenistic, etc. The media in this country has FAR too much power and they need to start being held accountible.
Thank you for telling us the truth!!!
It is scary how talks in the past are validated in the future. He is exactly as you and Tony Schwarz have described....very, very accurate.
Instead of scary but to face up

Read the latest Craig Unger book. AMERICAN KOMPROMAT.
This was astonishingly prophetic! David Cay Johnston really nailed the future Presidency of Trump for what it has become. It’s frightening that so much was known about Trump’s financial entanglements and his chronic narcissism well before the Presidential election. Johnston’s research and predictive wisdom was spot-on.
To be fair, most of this stuff and more was well publicized before this...that's the reason he was able to put together his book in a month lol
David Cay is a great speaker and story teller.

Too bad he seems to be ignorant of the Southern Strategy and the obvious flip of conservatives to the Republican Party.

Eight months later and it is scary how accurate Mr. Johnston's insights are.

SecondLifeDesigner: Not nearly as scary as to have heard it on December 30, 2021 --5 years+ after this talk.
This man was so right. To listen to this in 2020 is sending shivers down my spine.
You can't trust trump, but you can trust trump to be trump. In other words trump is completely predictable, particularly if you rule out what a decent human would do.
@@lengray44 I disagree. I mean it would be difficult to change yourself and your history, to be able to have a total understanding of Trump.

I will never understand the ability of people to put money above human life. If you have millions, is it not enough? If you have billions, why on earth do you need more? At what point is enough money enough?!

That is like asking why people over eat. Or why hoarders collect junk. "More is Better" is on of the original diseases that there is no real cure for.
gary grine it isn't simply their money, it is money produced by a type of labour and commercial organisation and administration, a financial system and a tax system which allows money to accumulate at certain points if these systems. It is possible to have too much money: too much power, too large an opinion of yourself and of your relative worth.
This program was 2016 and his comments were frightening and incredibly prescient. Trump is still dangerous.
Trump is just the symptom. A whole generation of elderly Trump voters are the disease.
And still as of today
5:25 - The worst thing would be for the Daily News and the New York Post to come out and say "You're fired".
I think it must have been worse for him when Twitter said that!
Watching this video now in February, 2020, makes me think that we should have been listening. Mr. Johnson was a prophetic.
Even YOU could have found this info. Except for that which the drumpf family has “caught and killed.” It’s a thing. Money can buy most anything. donald can’t hide behind anything anymore.

Yes, Kate! It's scary to hear what Johnston was saying has ALL come true!
bach baroque ....A real journalist, uniquely American
IF ONLY everyone (especially the GOP) had read Johnston's book prior to voting in 2016, _we wouldn't be going through these crazy times now that tRump has entered the political forum._ AND we haven't heard/seen the end of tRump's nonsense by a long shot. Our only hope is that tRump (deservedly) lands in prison for the rest of his life and gets permanently gagged. As long as he's alive and free, he poses a clear and present danger to society and the country.
Absolutely fascinating. This is the most insight into Donald Trump anyone has ever given us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Watching this in 2020 it’s amazing how accurate this guy was
Yes, maybe his next venture will be an explanation of the $100 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation ? And all the others. then take a look at the Obama foundation. Trump at least has not created the horrors of regeime change as seen in notably Libya and the Ukraine. That is an accomplishment.
@88Gibson LesPaul So what? While footnotes are a vital adjunct to any detailed written argument, they do not, per se, confer credibility (although they might impress those who don't know better).
@88Gibson LesPaul I have a PhD in modern German literature. I taught at university here in Britain for several years in the early 1990s.
@88Gibson LesPaul No, I don't think you 'get' anything. The point I was making, obviously, was that a footnote is only as good as its content and the sources it references. Same with education, by the way: its value depends wholly on its quality. Judging from the sloppiness of your arguments, I'd guess that yours is somewhat limited.
WHAT A AMAZING SPEAKER !
dealin in facts and livin with the truth
Three years later now
Wow!
Watching this 5 yrs later I'm amazed at how right on the nose you are. But how do we get others to see through his con so we can save America from becoming Russia or China led?
For every one of us watching DCJ’s
presentation, ten thousand are watching Fox.
Rupert Murdoch is pushing his narrative, while MSM pushes theirs.
When the President attempts to overthrow a Democratic election and it becomes a topic of debate, instead of an alarm bell that unites all Americans, you know the country is in serious trouble.

I just looked for something more recent- but everything is a year or more old. He needs to be sharing more as what is knows is more relevant than ever!
"Its hard to win an argument with a smart person, its impossible to win an argument with a stupid person." Bill Murray
This describes how cemented the Faithful are in their beliefs and won over by conservatives for their gullibility. They substitute Faith at the expense of Reality. Faith licenses them to believe what and however their base ambitions and instincts instruct . Then they defend them with a repulsive "self righteousness" that they were instructed was theirs to wield.
So very accurate a description of today's right wing masses.
The mental gymnastics done by far right Christians is worthy of study both by religious leaders and psychologists. Donald Trump has been found to lie on matters great and small on a regular basis. Fact checkers have documented over 1000 falsehoods told by Trump since he was elected to office. He has had many extramarital affairs. He is cruel and espouses a policy of maximum cruelty at our southern border. Separating babies and young children from their parents and then instructing their guards to withhold any kindness or compassion from these children will solve nothing. Instead it will cause deep and lasting psychological damage to innocent children. This is not the United States our fathers and grandfathers fought for during two world wars. When did the American people start to accept policies that are in essence nothing less than child abuse? I am not religious but I have studied the major religions. What sort of god asks followers to hurt or doing lasting harm to innocent children?
omegapointil // It has been studied and it’s called religious narcissism.
I don't understand what part of no comms outside this platform. Q then reiterated the point just recently again to help us decern from imposters. Austin may be a very knowledgeable person, but he is not part of Q team. Anyone part of Q team would not claim to be Q and try to highjack the movement. If he is Q prove it by predicting a future Q post. Disappointed Katie I have listened to you for over 2 years and I thought you would know better. I've listened to Austin and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and was impressed with that, but I can't trust him because he's not who says he is.
The condescending robotic style attacks, like those here, are only a testament to those making the attacks. Claiming the high road by claiming others do the same for their belief in God, as stated, “the Faithful”, is some kind of bad characteristic. After being raised by a liberal, and witnessing these mind gymnastics throughout my childhood. The victim claims, vilification of those with different views, etc, I realised, I could not be a participant in the bullying, twisting of facts, and justifications of cruel acts, like killing babies, by liberal progressives. I’m not religious, I just have a moral standard that liberal style group think, does not meet.
The vile attacks this speaker makes, by assuming he knows another’s thoughts and feelings, is a standard in this wicked manner of thinking and acts. I left the Democrat Party. I claim no party. I claim no religion. I do claim rights to and pursuit of truth and justice. None of which can be found within the speaker and his supporters.
PT Barnum, I’ve thought the same.
omg! he's speaking the truth.
Of course he is ! All public information people don’t know about ! Watch more off his videos
He has been for 30 years
I am going to purchase two of his books and give them to my brothers

Wow. Love this guy. So smart.
Donald can threaten to Sue Johnston. But it wouldn't work, I don't think. It seems like his case against Donald is pretty solid.
Trump has known Johnston for decades, he is afraid of him.
p craig Of course. Why else would he threaten to Sue him for writing the truth.
He has threatened to sue him, but it's never happened. Johnston has mentioned this quite a few times. He never will, because Johnston can prove what he's said and written and a lot of things that aren't perhaps known could come out in discovery.
He did sue him. trump lost!
Truth is an affirmative defense to libel or slander, and as a public figure, the bar for libel or slander is higher than for a private citizen.
Very interesting. Thank you. I'm going to purchase the iBook of 'The Making if DT'. He is certainly a study this Trump character. A real con.
Trump gave him all his info to understand who to cheat better. How to cheat better.
41:54 And now you've seen that. This guy was right on the money.
A.G.
He’s dishonest to the core. After the republicans, the Democrats have allowed him to do what he wanted. They never defended us from trump. They were complicit in allowing trump to dole out all his insults and ugly words that is in full swing in the past and in the present. If the Democrats had grown even a little spine, we wouldn’t be in the hell that trump has spent his presidency placing squarely and successfully upon the American people.

@@tothriveisgood Some people did call him out, it's just that they found something better than the moral high ground: Winning. I agree with one commentator who said that US politics is never going back. When you can pull what Sarah Palin (the proto-Trump) did by harvesting a crop of ignorant, fearful people by saying "he is a muslim and I am scared." you don't go back. You keep people ignorant and afraid and harvest the votes of manufactured political simpletons.

More attention needs to be paid to this man and what he says. Mr. Johnston gave fair warning about Trump. Furthermore, Trump is but one of the dangers Mr. Johnston has elucidated for the public.

I totally agreed on what you said. In my view, these issues are related to immigrants who came here ambitiously or very hungry, and look for only money or only intended to climb success ladder, it does not matter they came from either poor or rich family.
Then, some are going up, some are going down, etc and so on, but anyway, those whole stupid entertainments, sports, movie, tv, fake media, fast-foods, fat diets, poor educations, are all full-filled to their mindset to all first generation to 2nd 3rd 4 Th. Generations..And losing critical thinking which is most important. And time flies, My point here is for them, there is NO TIME to think of culture, society, and what is the meaning of human being existing. That's what exactly the system want us to be. Just leave stupid.
these are In my opinions only, ok. So sad.
Any self-respecting person, if degraded like this in any book,
would sue the author.
Yet, Trump has never challenged Mr. Johnston in any way, let alone sued him for defamation.
This speaks volumes !
Bernard Liu Defamation involves someone writing LIES (knowingly) about you. Johnston has always written the truth and is prepared to prove it. After 3 yrs. of Trump, America is directed by Russia.
I am not understanding why you are using the word "degraded". He is speaking Facts about Donald Trump. Speaking the truth is NOT defamation.
Dump lost a a lawsuit against him already.
Check out what happened to Chump the last time he tried to sue an author for defamation! He had to take the stand and his lies got dissected in REAL time! LOL

For the woman that is upset about people not believing her point of view, or teachings, my advice is first don't invest too much in trying to change peoples minds. Just present your case and always offer proof as to where you got your information. Intelligent people that you want to get through to, are scientific minded all we want is proof because we are lied to from people wanting power and greed.

Listening to this in 2020 is like finding a printed book after the apocalypse! Folks, Donald Trump has to be voted out of office. I think the only one who can do it is Sanders but really, vote for any of them. Even Bloomberg would be better (about 1% less bad I mean) but vote Trump out.

What a terrific presentation - and so prescient.
Thanks for your time and knowledge
What he explains and tells about Trump should be broadcasted on ALL channels. For days.
This presentation is both chillingly accurate and fantastic in its scope. In every educational outlet in the US and in every nation that makes a claim to be free should watch this and think seriously about what the future holds. BTW David try not to use the index finger to the thumb gesture, way too don like and scary.
David cay johnson noam chomsky and chris hedges should start a revolutionary movement
Wow, that guy was right about absolutely everything. He knew about trump’s long history of being a huckster & a con artist; and he thought trump could very well win the election due to the racism/xenophobia of white Americans.
That was one of the most prescient talks I’ve ever seen anyone give.
Well done, DCJ.
Idiotic take, Trump did not win on racism/xenophobia or any of the other ism bullshit you've internalized like a drone. He ran on the economy, promised to tear up and renegotiate trade deals which had exported the industrial base and its jobs overseas. Whether he was serious or not does not matter, he at least listened and his message was more substantive than "Vote for me I'm a woman" to the left behind class of Americans. In Hillary Clinton all poeple saw was a bloodthirsty career politician enthralled by lobbyist promising to keep the status quo, in other words depressed states and towns can wallow in a ditch forever. Now look at the Democrats, again they rigged the primary again so another career politician enthralled by lobbyist could win. You cannot be angry with Trump for losing.
@Chino Gambino
Ha! Trump saw a vulnerable group of people & took advantage of them, like he’s done his entire life. He didn’t bring any industry back to America, he just gave corporations a tax cut that they used to buy back their own stock. And look at the economy now. We’re heading for another depression!
So much winning...
@@chinogambino9375 I agree with a lot of what you said about Hilary, I also believe that most of his voters thought about the economy, and that’s the sick part, the day after the election you could tell that by just how the stocks exchange went, they didn’t care, why? Because they knew he was the same as Clinton when it came to the economy, but with an electoral financing system we have in America we know the inequalities will continue to grow no matter what, wall street knows they are protected. however I disagree when u said he didn’t win because of racism and xenophobia, yes he did, to win the race he had to appeal to racists, that particular base was the one constant throughout his campaigns and administration, because it was calculated, neofascist groups were his base, cause it’s a strategy, I mean just read the 14 characteristics, whether philosophical or practical, he followed that list to the letter, or to the number in this case. He had to do that to win, to grab and empower that group, but I guess the one thing all of his voters agree on is that him adopting that very particular type of government was worth it as long as they got their tax cuts, who cares about anything else.
@@shanesawyer5103 funny part is that the people who fell for his rhetoric will continue to try and point out how everything going wrong right now is Biden’s fault, take covid, biden has been doing his bit, why is it still destroying the country? Because trump decided to politicize something that in a functional political system normally doesn’t get politicized, and he pushed misinformation about it to try and coverup his lack of leadership on a federal level as it started, and his “fall in line or fall apart” approach he had/has with the republican establishment, the governors that followed him, have now condemned their own voting bases to be unavailable to vote their ballots permanently. It’s so calculated and obvious they don’t even try to hide the fact that republicans strategists have done the calculations and now they are sure, the number of republicans voters who won’t vote gop because they are dead is likely to be enough to swing many races in favor of democrats in this midterms, even if we take into consideration all the gerrymandering and “purified quality of the voters” efforts in passing legislations designed to make it harder for lower and working classes throughout republican led states. Cause I guess needless cultural wars based campaigns are easier than running a campaign focusing on economic policies, we all know sense based platforms are not what big money expects when they pay bribes, i mean when they pay donations for electoral campaigns in America ( this in both parties not just the gop) then there was the assassination of Iran’s soleimani. A move so completely stupid and outrageous, just because he wanted an escalation of tension between both countries, cause trump wanted to push a “bush in Iraq” campaign strategy, I don’t know what’s more funny, if it’s the fact that he did it but right before trump could milk it the pandemic started to unfold, thurs shifting all the emergency attention worldwide, then the fact that Iran completely outsmarted trumps efforts on foreign policy, they knew he wanted a war to win the election, and they didn’t give it to him.
All and all, American needs at least another political party, one that is at least center left, cause democrats aren’t even center, they are liberals, they aren’t leftists, you can clearly see this by how cozy they are siding with big money all the time, and they have the audacity to call people like manchin a “moderate” yeah… you know who’s the most moderate politician in America? Probably Bernie… who is only center left on a handful of basic issues, I think that’s how the country will slowly move towards, there’s no reason why people living American today needs to be having such bad lives economically, this is why they need another party, one that can be center left, be a party that works for the working class, class struggles Btw… something that’s been completely destroyed since the 70s… and a party can’t do that if the funding for their campaigns are going to continue the way this has been happening in America, it’s insane, it’s corruption. It’s not run by Americans anymore, it’s international interests well.
Very interesting presentation!
P.T.Barnum! He actually said it! I have been thinking this lately, especially as I come across those saying Trump is nothing but a Conman... "Yeah, like P.T. Barnum and his Circus!" D.J. Trump and his Circus. LOL! Going to be a great movie some day. Maybe. Once the scarred country has healed some.
Major insult to Mr. Barnum who was a moral man, who never said, "a sucker is born every minute". Yes, he was flamboyant and hyperbolic but he paid his bills and taxes while entertaining people on a scale previously unseen.
David C. Johnston, you are a great speaker. I really enjoy this video. I will save it. Thank you.

Here is what a coping person sounds like ...coping by telling it like it is. He is good at it.
Wonder what this man would say of Trump's popularity today (Feb 2020) ?
WRITE ANOTHER ONE ! ! ! ! THIS IS AWESOME, SIR! MUCH RESPECT !
"I don't do politics, I do policy."
BANG!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!!
Public Policy MATTERS.
Poli= with many. cy=to kill. To kill with many. Front to back. Back to front. Not law
Public policy is not public law
@Bruce strkland Those cryptos can try all they want. It never works repeatedly failed. Are The Walking Dead zombies? I fear them not.
Public Policy equates to the trashing of the Constitution. 1st are the inalienable rights diminished and; 2nd common law through statute is done away with.
Excellent.
Great book! No one knows Donald Trump like David Cay Johnston.
