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
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. 👏
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’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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
No one who was conscious in the 1990s and before thought he had any real money - most folks knew he was screwing over contractors, workers, renters, and investors ignorant enough to believe he has anything.
You know I have lived in Washington state all my life, clear across the nation, and I knew people in New York knew who Donald Trump is and was, has always been, You guys were there! I always say, just ask someone in New York, they know him.
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.
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
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.
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
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 !
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?'

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
Now this was told 4years ago, what’s going on now about New York Attorney General is way behind 😮 Just think about how many years that this was going on 😮
daviddavis697 - It began with Trump's grandfather who had a brothel. How lovely a family business. Using women for money, ruining lives... Sounds like Trump, doesn't it?
Exceptional and enlightening and disheartening discussion. Aspects of our societies reward liars and promote hate. Donald's emergence and successful cons are the symptoms of a civilization in crisis.
Big mouths and the threats behind them will always be a problem in any government that is greedy enough to accept graft as we have and will see until until the time of great change.
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. As a matter of fact, "TRAITOR TRUMP," needs to be breathing recirculated air in a JAIL OR PRISON Cell Right now! Last time I checked, "TRAITOR TRUMP," Is still breathing fresh air, and GOLFING ⛳ IN FLORIDA. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE? ⚖️
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.😏
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.
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.
She could have read the David Cay Johnson's reporting and figured out a lot of this. There was material already out there before Trump ran for president.
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.
Got to be careful with that , the electoral college does some good, i just watched a show on it. Hey , I despise that con artist! but I am not sure getting rid of the electoral college is something we want to do without taking a good look at all it does.
@@deborahcarder4270it's the most ridiculous thing in every election around the world! It's almost medieval...are you still riding a horse to go from A to B? A country that does not evolve is doomed to die. What is your argument in favour of that unjust thing?
The electoral college is undemocratic and promotes minority rule another is citizens united which is basically legalisedcorruption (buying politicians)
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.

I don't get the question. The easy answer is he was rich due to Fred. If he had just invested Fred's money in an index fund he'd be so much richer. He's sqaudered most of it in ways to get attention.
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.
And Royalties for the Use if his name..( and still does) when first in the WH he wanted a daily count of how many times his name was used..and why he seeks constant media attention
I will never understand our common modern definition of success. Not if reference to the writer herself but to the successful wall street trader she speaks of. I personally can't imagine having pride in saying your a " successful" wall street trader. What does that mean? That you successfully tricked a bunch of people in to buying stuff they didn't need and you were part of the ever diminishing value of the dollar and the almost bi-decade economic collapses which are then bailed out by john q public and then they still get huge bonuses? And then on top of all that they create nothing. It's just baffling that some can consider that life "successful"

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.
Susan Craig is a very impressive investigative reporter from The New York Times
No one who was conscious in the 1990s and before thought he had any real money - most folks knew he was screwing over contractors, workers, renters, and investors ignorant enough to believe he has anything.
Wayne Barrett did an excellent job covering Donald Trump's shenanigans long before 2016.

Yes, t***p was ripping off everyone!
By not paying his contractors!
In new York
It's a big country
We always considered Trump a clown in NYC. He was and is an embarrassment to NYC.
NYC is an embarrassment the State of New York. Fact.
He is America's embarrassment!
You know I have lived in Washington state all my life, clear across the nation, and I knew people in New York knew who Donald Trump is and was, has always been, You guys were there! I always say, just ask someone in New York, they know him.
Yep. If you’re from the East coast , you know. Plus we saw what he did in AC.
Now to the entire country
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
Can't serve God and money
Half this nation chooses the latter
Thank you for breaking it down in laymen’s terms. Voting BLUE 🎉🎉
This is still relevant as ever in summer 2024.
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
He is a monster
Q: How do you spell "Trump"?
A: Crook.
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.
This explains the base of Donald Trump. Thank you for this! I wish everyone would watch this especially his supporters, even though they'd find more excuses for their Messiah.
Just smears from a joke media organization. Have you watching the Russia hoax falling apart?
Adam you are an ignorant disgrace to the hole of love.
Thanks for your reporting!
Adam Jaramillo, I am Begging You And so many DECENT People, to PLEASE STOP referring to this Beyond CONTEMPTIBLE Very EVIL, "Dump" as the "Messiah" or the "Orange J___s or the Orange 'C____t". Have MERCY ‼️✝. IT IS the MOST painful ASSAULT ON OUR Beloved America ‼️ When I think of OUR Beloved MEN and WOMEN, who sacrificed their LIVES to Save And Protect OUR Country and LAWS and CONSTITUTION; "Dump's" UTTER Contempt for America and Americans BREAKS My HEART; DO NOT add to this awful Agony by giving "Dump" the TITLE Reserved for "OUR BLESSED SAVIOR". ‼️❤️🙏✝
@@ttmarty82 No, you don't support truth and facts because if you did you'd denounce your Great Orange Doofus, right here, right now.

A: he started as a billionaire!
How on Earth could this man be elected president of the United States is beyond me

Great investigation..and thorough coverage.!!😊 Your commitment to finish a work that will be amazing us all... for years to come.

I hope yo read a book on all you"ve uncovered..
Im so grateful for "truth" revealed..🎉🎉 1:19:07
This is just mind blowing! Great interview and topic
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.
Amazing work. Must have taken years. Very well done.
Well Leticia James got him, probably with your help!!! Thanks for this story.
This was the scandal in 2018. Little did we know what was coming…
This was excellent viewing, the amount of hours working on this must have been phenom amin, thank you very much for sharing.
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.
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.
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.
We'll see George Bush
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.
@@lindagorham1409the cost of telling truth is high
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!!!!!
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.
Now this was told 4years ago, what’s going on now about New York Attorney General is way behind 😮 Just think about how many years that this was going on 😮
45 didn't get rich, his father did
daviddavis697 - It began with Trump's grandfather who had a brothel. How lovely a family business. Using women for money, ruining lives... Sounds like Trump, doesn't it?
Exceptional and enlightening and disheartening discussion. Aspects of our societies reward liars and promote hate. Donald's emergence and successful cons are the symptoms of a civilization in crisis.
Are you from Canada? your pompous enough to be. Eat snow buddy eat snow.
Big mouths and the threats behind them will always be a problem in any government that is greedy enough to accept graft as we have and will see until until the time of great change.
Well said 👍
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. As a matter of fact, "TRAITOR TRUMP," needs to be breathing recirculated air in a JAIL OR PRISON Cell Right now! Last time I checked, "TRAITOR TRUMP," Is still breathing fresh air, and GOLFING ⛳ IN FLORIDA. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE? ⚖️
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.😏
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.
Has anyone at the IRS read this publication yet???
carolesmith9235 - You are so funny! 🤣😂🤣😂
They're too busy taking homes from middle class cancer patients😢
Naw they're too busy bullying the middle class into oblivion
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.
She could have read the David Cay Johnson's reporting and figured out a lot of this. There was material already out there before Trump ran for president.
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. 😅
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
You’re my NEW HERO MS. CRAIG

He is a prime example of why the electoral college should be abolished.
Ok that was a very uneducated childish statement you made.
@deborahcardeyou wil, be surprised how many people around the world think American political system is so weird.
Got to be careful with that , the electoral college does some good, i just watched a show on it. Hey , I despise that con artist! but I am not sure getting rid of the electoral college is something we want to do without taking a good look at all it does.
@@deborahcarder4270it's the most ridiculous thing in every election around the world! It's almost medieval...are you still riding a horse to go from A to B? A country that does not evolve is doomed to die. What is your argument in favour of that unjust thing?
The electoral college is undemocratic and promotes minority rule another is citizens united which is basically legalisedcorruption (buying politicians)
Tell me again how he got in the white house? He lost popular vote by 3 million..Great journalism.
He's a con man. Half of America fell for the con.
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.
4 years ago……and he’s just now going to trial. How very pertinent it is now.
So trump can be done for tax evasion ...... just like Al Capone.

I’m wondering 💭 how come so much time has passed and trump is not in jail? Or even impeached?

I don't get the question. The easy answer is he was rich due to Fred. If he had just invested Fred's money in an index fund he'd be so much richer. He's sqaudered most of it in ways to get attention.
Everything he touched turned to ash
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.🧝🏻♀️
FIVE YEARS? It feels like a century already.
By sheer luck he didn’t squander the totality of the big and dirty money he inherited!!!
That TV show saved his failing behind. Thanks a lot guys😢

Thanks lady at the end. You're important!
I will never understand our common modern definition of success. Not if reference to the writer herself but to the successful wall street trader she speaks of. I personally can't imagine having pride in saying your a " successful" wall street trader. What does that mean? That you successfully tricked a bunch of people in to buying stuff they didn't need and you were part of the ever diminishing value of the dollar and the almost bi-decade economic collapses which are then bailed out by john q public and then they still get huge bonuses? And then on top of all that they create nothing. It's just baffling that some can consider that life "successful"
Can't worship money and God
Great journalism !!!
Yes, it was. Kudos to the NYT and their staffers for this top notch work.
