David Cay Johnston spoke about his new book The Making of Donald Trump on CSPAN for an hour with Brian Lamb on Sunday, September 11, 2016. He went over Trump’s history and what he has been able to learn about it in detail.
Johnston has been covering Trump for decades and knows him backwards, forwards, and upside down. He believes that Trump probably has paid zero taxes, legally, for decades using the special rules set up for “full-time real estate professionals,” which allow them to depreciate the worth of their buildings for tax purposes. He also delves into the family history of Donnie J’s father and grandfather, “a German draft dodger who made a fortune running whorehouses.”
Watching the show, I laughed out loud a couple of times seeing how much fun David Cay Johnston was having. If you want to know who Donnie J Trump really is and what he’s actually done, this hour of viewing is essential (and entertaining).
