How Donald Trump rose from real estate scion to TV ‘boss’

Season 2016

Gwen Ifill explores the career path that led Trump to pursue the Oval Office.

Just as Donald Trump was finishing business school, he set his sights on showbiz, investing in a Broadway production. But when that failed, he retreated to the family business of real estate, where he found success (as well as bankruptcy), climbed New York’s social ladder and courted controversy. Gwen Ifill explores the career path that led Trump to pursue the Oval Office.
