About This Movie

So, 'Trump: What's The Deal?' is one of those oddball docs from the early '90s that feels like a time capsule of a certain celebrity culture. It was made for TV back when that was the only way to get your film out there, and it has this distinctly raw atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, like they were figuring out how to piece it all together. It dives into the world of Donald Trump before he was a household name in politics, capturing his brash persona and the business dealings that surrounded him. The film has a kind of gritty realism, and the threats of lawsuits really add an undercurrent of tension. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its charm.

Commissioned in 1988 by Leonard Stern. · Initial release faced threats from Donald Trump. · Sheds light on the glitzy world of celebrity businessmen.
