Trump: What's The Deal?

The documentary was commissioned by Leonard Stern in 1988 as part of a series on celebrity businessmen. It was completed in 1991 but faced significant challenges, including threats of legal action from Donald Trump against any broadcasters or distributors willing to show it. The film ultimately saw limited exposure, being screened only twice at the Bridgehampton Community House.

With a runtime of 82 minutes, the film captures a unique moment in the public perception of Donald Trump. Its tagline, "New Trump, Old Trump, Same Trump," hints at the enduring qualities of his public image. Collectors interested in political documentaries or the evolution of celebrity culture may find this title noteworthy, particularly given its controversial background and the prominent figures involved.
