How Trump Got Rich: The Real Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- With her recent bombshell New York Times front-page story, investigative reporter Susanne Craig helped debunk President Trump’s claim of being a self-made billionaire. For more than a year, Craig and two colleagues followed an unwieldy paper trail, documenting deliberate tax manoeuvres that increased the wealth Trump received from his parents, including acts of outright fraud. Craig discusses the complexities of reporting on Trump, money and politics in this conversation with investigative journalist Julian Sher.
It takes great courage to expose cowardice. Thank you for your courage.!!!
lol courage

These Canadians all know more about U.S. government than virtually all Americans.
As a American, i have to say, you could be right. I am so sad to say. But I know many people that do not have a clue about any of this! its sad.
It is quite scary how many Americans don't even understand the basic workings of the three branches of their government but are" experts" when it comes to pop culture and culture wars
So true...damn true
Move to Canada and enjoy ‘Cuba-like’ dictatorship
That is because Americans are stupid.
Fantastic interview. I've seen Susan on CNN with Trumps coverage of the civil lawsuit and never knew she was the investigative reporter who started it all so good on her and her co-workers. 👏

He got rich by exploiting bankruptcy laws and asset manipulation
Front running the regulators - so to speak. 💯💥💫Agree, Joseph. TY
Lol.....yes...she used a whole interview to say that..😂
He goes through money like water. Needs followers to send him money?!!
@cuthbertbargepole I would but I also would not go for president trump is part of thr problem
@@shannonlohr1565 Yes he always needs a new stream of income, new investors, always needing someone elses money.
Thanks for her. She's amazing. We are so lucky to have her
This needs to be shared,& shared, & shared especially with any tweeter supporting Trump. 'Flood the zone' with truth. Great, compelling interview.
Unfortunately unless this story can be distilled into a 3 minute tweet none of Trump's true believers have the intelligence or attention span to hear or understand what was being said.
It would be more shareable if the first 10 minutes are cut
The Trumpers I know would be very unlikely to watch it.

Thank you Suzanne!! You are an American hero!
Susanne Craig is going to be busy for the next ten years. Thank you CJF for hosting this important guest and this story that continues to be relevant.
THANK YOU SUSANNE FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO AND HAVE DONE!
Thanks indeed to the reporters and Mary Trump for all of the help and reporting!
It’s interesting to see this four years later. DT may actually be held accountable for some of his malfeasances in New York. It won’t be criminal accountability but it is possible his financial empire will disappear. It couldn’t happen to a more worthy creep.
There was at least 2 DAs that had a blind spot for trump. Merganthauler and drunken Rudy.
Rudy was probably on the “take”.
@@DJT4Prison they worded it Rudy and merganthauler had a blind spot for trump. Yeah right 😏👎🏾
F trump and his cult members.
They are domestic enemies of We The People.
@@DJT4PrisonYOU THINK??
His taxes was handled more privately than classified documents 🤔

So, was his high school and college transcripts
do you understand the word "private"?
they ARE classified documents. Nunyadambizness
@@robertwilber1909 Overrated. Trump is a liar, and I don't believe anyone's taxes should be "private". Transparency makes crime harder. Employees should know how much their employers make. :)

Short version he inherited everything in his life and was elected by guillable fools who believed that pretending to be a buisness man in a tv gameshow qualified him for the most powerful job in the world 😢
About as qualified as an actor.
@@brian7android985Regan was an actor. Zelensky was an actor. Trump is just a criminal
Bingo!
That doesn't make any of this credible and now the big reveal...he a grifter, conartist and most of all the biggest liar America has ever produced!
Sounds like Reagan
Fascinating and compelling interview. Every thinking person who cares about the future of this country owes Suzanne Craig a debt of thanks. Now it's up to us to share this information widely before the election.
It won't change anything. Some people have no logic circuits and no integrity.
I now understand why Trump believes he is untouchable and above the law.
Teflon don
@theresalafar96 - And he has been untouchable all his life !!!
He's beaten the odds ......
White collar crime PAYS !!!!!!
He had at least 2 DAs in NY that had a blind spot for trump. Merganthauler and drunken Rudy.
Trump became wealthy being a deadbeat and cheat. He said he considered court and trials just part of doing business. People lost because Trump had lawyers and fixers that people did not want to deal with, So many went bankrupt because they could not wait for payment or afford lawyers.
Read the federal reserve act and Learn the federalreserve is privately owned and pays a 6%dividend. A private central bank funds the gov.
Also on a real note. Yea Trump is corrupt. Obama is corrupt. You’re super corrupt if you’re a politician. They legally do insider trading. But ultimately presidents and politicians are bought and paid for. Ask yourself why does Europe and Israel always get the military money they need even when the U.S. doesn’t have the money so the U.S. borrows more money to fund Europe and Israel.
Absolutely the best. Thank you to
each of you.
Bravo Susanne and your co workers.. VERY IMPORTANT WORK.
Well, the chickens have come to roost. It looks like it’s finally happening. We shall see. This has been very interesting. I knew some of this but not all. The details are fascinating. Thank you and your 2 colleagues fir your bravery!
Sad, but nothing will ever happen. Trump is part of the protected Corrupt. Some vermin are indestructible in the human realm.
He inherited 430 mil from his daddy then went bankrupt 6 times. Of course none of that was his fault.
Listen to Mary Trump - for her side of that story. She said something about how DJT cheated her and her family out of MILLIONS. I don't remember the details. But het was brutal.
Wish dump's mama had a migraine the night he was conceived.
AND refused to pay many, many contractors for work that was completed on his casinos and other projects. When he did pay, it was often 10-20% of what he actually owed and he would tell them that if they didn't accept that as payment in full, they could try suing him; knowing that these small companies couldn't hire lawyers to go against his big lawyers. He would claim that the work wasn't done on time or was shoddy even when that wasn't the case. .. Basically looking for an excuse not to pay.
@@rachaelodell4906 Even in the White House he felt that taxpayers money was his. He didn't want to pay the full sum to Ukraine. He hated supporting NATO or the World Health Council. It was as is it his money, because he charged outrageous sums to cover all his Security Detail, when he visited his properties, which was often. The US already had a lovely property at Camp David, which had all the security necessary to protect him. If he couldn't gain from something, he wrote it off. Don the con is a lesson to the US, DONT VOTE FOR CELEBRITIES.
@@rachaelodell4906 All of the above☑️
He is such a fucking con man, lying racist, bigoted, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, piece of shit. I have hated him since the '90's when I found out about him and his father being sued by everybody and their brother over their "marking" of rental applications, to make sure they didn't rent to anyone except whites. That disgusted me to no end, knowing many were Section 8 housing and those people NEEDED a home and his racist ass refused to rent to them.
Then add on his lies (just in general), the hate and division he brought this nation to, the Putin Helsinki closed door talk, then he tells an international press corp that he believes Putin instead of our intelligence community about bounties on the heads of our soldiers, the deal he made with the Taliban, his blatant disregard for the people of this country during a pandemic and making a deadly virus along with the vaccines to keep people from dying, political fodder.
Then when we add in his BIG LIE, his phone call to Raffenspurger, all of the fraudits and recounts he pushed all while gathering the donations for his "election integrity" PAC, and didn't pay for ANY OF IT. He pocketed all of that money, or his family and friends did. Which allowed us taxpayers to pay for the audits and recounts, plus the replacement voting machines they messed up.
Then Jan 6, which he topped off with stealing our NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS. He is a TRE45ONOUS BASTARD and he needs to rot in prison. How any person in this country can still support him after ALL of that, is beyond me.
Rant over! Lol!
Susanne, thank you for all your work.

@@jmdavison62w zach w,
Yes, t***p was ripping off everyone!
By not paying his contractors!
In new York
It's a big country
Lesson learned: Every presidential candidate is required to show their tax returns & financial holdings, no exceptions.
Yeah, there is a reason it has been norm for half a century if not longer.
But it absolutely should have been law, to protect against someone like Trump who is not interested in playing fair.
Tax returns are private just like medical records.
Before during and after a term(s)
The lesson is also that there has to be tax reform and enforcement so these villains can't game the system to enrich themselves. Besides, there hadn't been a criminal mob associate and Russian asset as a candidate before. Usually presidential candidates have a legitimate life before they run. It is a result of "conservative" political parties abandoning all principles including belief in democracy and that it's good to not be a traitor.
Well just this once😢
She is excellent. And, a Canadian too boot!
Suzanne you really should write a book on this for history's sake. You and your co-writers could tell this story and what has transpired since as I'm sure you have learned more from Mary Trump.
Wow! What painstaking work she and her team did. All hale to them.

@@swillm3isterhail
Still quite interesting 4 years later . Thank you
Again , on the matter of the TAX Returns that was such an issue during the Trump candidacy for president and afterwards when he won ; he repeatedly asserted that he would submit them but never did voluntarily to our chagrin ! Congress needs to pass a bill requiring all would be public servants in all areas of governance to submit their tax returns before becoming a viable candidate ! How is it enabled for these persons to dodge such an important inquiry into their personal finances and how they acquired them ! We need transparency with all candidates who are given the privilege and power to serve the public !
CONGRESS , DO IT NOW !
No chance of getting it done. Too many vested interests…
Representing years of taxes is already there! But the Donald kept saying he was being Audited by the IRS. There should be no exceptions. Normal every day people couldn't make any excuses.
This is a job for the VOTERS of America to decide. We dropped the ball, 1 million Americans died needlessly, the people are under immediate threat of losing basic rights, facist take over and “civil war”!
@@zeebest1004
Who dropped the ''BALL?" 🏈 I...and every one I know, never 'TOUCHed'...that BALL!
Our Leaders...are in charge of all of that. They should have made Trump...UP..his
Taxes...they didn't. I thought that was One of the, ''must do'' for all presidents.
Is that not a 'Law'...to Occupy the,.."Oval Office''...before sitting behind the 'Desk?'
SO...the 'Republican'...Party...All of them, are Afraid of🥵 Donald Trump'....
It's Obvious, they still fear him...and are giving him 'AMAZING GRACE'..😵💫...
I thought 'Only GOD'...had/has, ''AMAZING GRACE''...😇📖😴...''WOW''...
Donald J. Trump....is their 'GOD'?...JESUS? *we shall see!*
Even if it was passed by congress dump would still not put out his taxes. He thinks he's above the law.
He stole money from his dead brothers children by getting power of attorney from his father when he was mentally and physically unable to make decisions, also had dad to sign a will, changing what the dad had left.
Trump is a detestable human being! The worst America has to offer along with his nutty followers.
Not exactly , he tried to do that - and his sister the judge caught it . "Stealing money" from his dead brothers children - was done by all the surviving children - they all moved to Remove Fred Jr's heirs from their share - the real psychopathic moment was when the heirs sued - Donald withheld health insurance - for the very seriously ill infant son of Fred Jr's son. Fred III

Thank you for breaking it down in laymen’s terms. Voting BLUE 🎉🎉
Funniest line: "The House can seek his tax returns." Should have been pretty automatic. We're still waiting.....
One of his appointed judges held that up for at least three years.
And yet here Americans are today facing the news reports saying Trump and President Biden appear almost tied as to the coming election and an increasing number of Americans are not abandoning the supporters of Trump and his backers. Even with this excellent reporting both democracy and good news reporting are under great threat.
Don’t pay attention to the polls. We are 13 months away from the election and many things can happen between now and then.
Yes, unfortunately the Party who promised to help the little guy just gave us lip service for the last 30 years and here we are. Clearly more of the same is not working, i’m not advocating for Trump at all clearly he’s a threat. Well, they say political leaders are products of their societies
America is do whatever you want just don’t get caught….and if you do…… have enough to buy your way out of i…. doesn’t matter what party you align with. They are just “your” criminal.
Trump criminality is on a whole Nother level however, the ones trying to hold him accountable are far from innocent and they’re outrage is hypocritical and when we need the justice system to really punish a guy like that, he’ll be able to slip and slide his way out

This was the scandal in 2018. Little did we know what was coming…
I've admired Sue and her work for quite some time now, but it is suddenly apparent to me the deprh of Donald Trumps blatant loathing of Journalists. My goodness fine journalism truely is at the core of revealing his actual truths. As I (an average citizen) was so disturbed initially by a United States President refusing and completely unwilling to be transparent with his tax documents, as prior Presidents had.
Listening to this particular interview brings such clarity to me, of his hatred of most of the Media that he always speaks of.... Such gratitude to Sue and all that have been so very proactive on behalf of truth, especially during this very disterbing "Trunp era".
Tremendous gratitude for such fine and in depth work, to say the least.
This was fascinating
Thank you!
So this was brought to light 3 yrs ago and all of this important reveal didn’t do a thing… he gets away with all of his crimes.
Well Leticia James got him, probably with your help!!! Thanks for this story.
Q: How did Trump became a millionaire?
A: he started as a billionaire!
Taxes need to be public for ANY ELECTED or APPOINTED OFFICE but especially high office...President, V.P., Supreme Court, House and Senate. Only then can we start off on the right foot without being submitted to gamesmanship and cons for 4 yrs!!!
iF only it was ONLy 4 years which is rare anymore!!!!!
There were hardly any repercussions to this story. That is a story in itself.
Kind of like Hunter's laptop.... these politicians and their families need held accountable. It'll never happen.
Nothing there as all their witnesses just wait you’ll see , his partner, it’ll all be revealed ….nothing. Congrats dick pics from a troubled man… not an elected official , didn’t work in White House as Ivanka and Jared who profited 186 million while there. Not counting 2billion he got from Soudis..the lap top..because they have nothing on JB who has devoted his life to public service and who’s tax returns public for last 40 years unlike Trump..everything he touches turns to shit including US (hey Donald “discovered” that abbreviation spells us..) A clown
@anasazirose
The lattee turned out to be a fabrication. We have evidence stright from Moscow who made the case. If it was true, all of the fascists would be flaunting the evidence, instead we found out it was a disinformation campaign lie. And hushed up, because it came stright from Russia. Pull another one.
TRUE, I’m not aware of ANY repercussions other than the NYTimes building having police guarding it and the dangers of working in the building. That in itself is a quite negative repercussion, not just as a result of THIS story but many stories.

I agree with you. Donald "TRAITOR" Trump is a "Clear and Present Danger and threat to the health and safety of this Nation. He must be held to account for decades of Scamming people, LYING on his tax returns, amongst other countless atrocities he's committed. He doesn't deserve to go anywhere near the White House.

I remember he bragged decades ago about molesting and abusing teenage girls that was signed to his modeling agency and beauty pageants on a nationally syndicated show.😏
He is a prime example of why the electoral college should be abolished.
Ok that was a very uneducated childish statement you made.

The worst is that he REFUSED to pay contractors after work was completed! i worked for a 'friend' who built a $5 M business with my help working 12-14 hour days for years! She often didn't pay. Also she spent $5K on lawyers to fight a contractor she didn't want to pay $2K! He did a great job too! Yet she never had to pay him! Judges should FORCE business owners to pay their workers.
Judges are a big part of the problem of injustice
The real story is that he isn't. He has ratcheted money out of corporations with serial bankruptcies, paying himself the wealth his companies then can't pay back.
In other words, through thievery.

Now I understand why the Attorney General wants the Judge to fine Trump 350+ million dollars and stop Donald & Son's from doing any business in New York.

And you're proud that the child repeats what the parents say? That a 4 yo child is capable of hatred? Wow, shame on you.
If his father gave him the money, who paid the taxes for that ?
Trump’s father Fred Trump was a very shrewd business man he rigged all the inheritance to avoid tax liability. 😅
Had you spoken to the New York attorney general about Trump and his finances I'm sure they'll be very interested from your side of the story
Has anyone at the IRS read this publication yet???
carolesmith9235 - You are so funny! 🤣😂🤣😂

Great interview and investigative reporting. I never think people get away with anything. What a terrible memory as he tries to change the will between he and his father.An attempt at elder abuse for financial gain. That would negatively impact family relationships from that point on. Who would want to live with that? When you do not legitimately achieve success it never makes you feel very good about yourself. Trump wanted to go into the entertainment industry which might have been better for him.
Brilliant interview and questions good too, thank you! I hope Susan continues this amazing project on the origin of ‘the Trumps’ ‘ wealth. And hoping the public send Susan more Trump tax returns, soon.
Great journalism!
The sound is dreadful. The man turns to one side and you can't hear him. Her sound crackles,,and dips down. What a shame. what a let down.😊😊 please sort this out.
Great work many thanks
There's a frustrating irony here. Many of Trump's supporters view any kind of tax avoidance and even evasion as a virtue. Revealing it does little to hurt his popularity.
His very wealthy father gave him wheelbarrows full of cash, that’s how.

4 years ago……and he’s just now going to trial. How very pertinent it is now.
Wasn't the reason that the kids drained Fred's bank accounts (at 45:15) was to avoid inheritance tax? Anyone know?
Yup. tfg wanted to suck his dad dry BEFORE he died.
Dad drained them with trumolester. Old dad got duked also. Dementia kicked in so trumolester changed the game. He gave them what he wanted to give them. Fred died so he didn't get a cut. 🤦🏾♀️💯
Dr. Mary L. Trump's first book answers all your questions, Karen. "Too much, and never enough." You will not be disappointed.
This was brilliant, thanks.
What I learned from this that I didn't know before was that while F Trump Sr abhorred debt, DJT not only embraced it but turned it into an art form. The only thing that the two had in common was their grift to gain wealth by manipulating the tax system (e.g. tax avoidance, evaluations, and outright fraud).
At no time in this interview did I hear mention of FT Jr. or who sent the manila envelope with the tax info that got the ball rolling on the investigation. My guess would be that it originated from the other Mary Trump in this sorted saga, Jrs daughter. Those being the tax returns that had to be released during discovery when DJTs niece sued him around the time of Srs death.
Yes it is true what you are saying but for the safety of the GOOD person in Trump crime family, better to not get into it.🧝🏻♀️
So trump can be done for tax evasion ...... just like Al Capone.
Tell me again how he got in the white house? He lost popular vote by 3 million..Great journalism.
