Editorial Reviews

He is a modern Midas who has elevated the business of deal-making to an art form and came to epitomize a glitzy, greedy era, only to see his fortune and fame threatened by changing times. By the age of 40, Donald Trump was one of New York's most successful real estate developers. The epitome of '80s glamour, he had a high profile wife, a lavish lifestyle and public adulation. But as the decade ended, it seemed that his luck went with it. Here is the story of his incredible rise, decline and improbable rebirth as a mogul for the '90s. It is a fascinating look at the life and times of the man whose name has become a symbol of wealth and status Donald Trump.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff April 19, 2007

I like these type of biographical shows. This I like even more because I truly respect the individual that it's about. It does cover most of Trump's early achievements up to the mid 90's, shame it doesn't have information about his more recent conquests, like the apprentice and other more recent projects. It's a good watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well Filmed and Produced, but flawed like Don Trump... January 25, 2011

By Ricahrd A. Salzer

Format:VHS Tape

Firstly, Donald Trump DID NOT start the
underrated United States Football League,
which I played in briefly back in the
'80's. The New Jersey Generals were 1st
owned by J. Walter Duncan, who sold the
6-12 team to Trump on Oct. 3rd, 1983,
after the 1st USFL season had been played.

The rest of this film is a [...]
fest that relies on Trump's quirky ('I don't
like to shake people's hands' schtick). Trump
is an egomaniac of legendary proportions who
got his come-uppense in the fine ESPN 30/30
film 'Who Killed the USFL', Mike Tollin.
Touchee!
