Donald Trump Biography | The Making Of Donald Trump
In-depth interview with Pulitzer-prize-winning investigative Journalist David Cay Johnston about his 2016 biography THE MAKING OF DONALD TRUMP about Donald Trump. THE MAKING OF DONALD TRUMP is a New York Times bestseller that connects the dots from Trump’s racist background to the Russian scandals.
In the view of David Johnston, the media has failed to ask basic questions about the economic thinking — and business record — of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, The economic vision that’s being offered on the campaign trail has been crafted with Trump’s excellent salesmanship.
Johnston’s book relies on extensive reporting of interviews, public statements, court records and financial statements to build an argument that Trump’s vision is based on what he believes voters want to hear, but has little relationship to his own — or America’s — reality
