      This is an "only in America" tale about VINTAGE TRUMP: the greed, envy, and politics gone crazy within an American populace terrified of an uncertain future and sinking deeper into a media-driven maze of distortions. Here it is...fact-based and controversy-soaked, the story of how Donald Trump succeeded at seizing the world's most powerful platform within the bizarre landscapes that fostered him. It's about HOW IT HAPPENED, presented with irony and (whenever possible) humor, from the writers and editors at Blood Moon Productions. THE DONALD is NOT the only beneficiary of celebrity and political analyses from Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince. They've focused on Democrats, too, including raucous overviews of the Kennedys, the Reagans, the Clintons, and a gaggle of movie stars from Hollywood's Golden Age. This, is the first bona-fide treatment of Trump as a media star and celebrity with often dangerous political venues. HEEEERE'S Donald, in all his bombastic mendacity, loaded with faux-pas and swinging. .
