YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 1996, Singer, a long-time New Yorker staff writer, wrote a profile of Donald Trump. At that point, Trump was concerned with recovering from bankruptcy, salvaging his failed casino operations, and getting his second divorce. Fascinated despite himself, Singer characterized Trump as a man “who had aspired to and achieved the ultimate luxury, an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul.” Now, however, Trump isn’t just one more swaggering businessman, and Singer revisits his earlier assessments in light of Trump the candidate.
Singer is in conversation with Jane Mayer, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of the book Dark Money.
