On the eve of Trump turning 80, Wolff also traces the astonishing rise of a man who went from a Queens real-estate promoter to perhaps the most famous person on earth. Along the way, they unpack the pivotal moments that built the Trump myth: the excess of 1980s New York, The Art of the Deal, the bankruptcies that never seemed to matter, the reinvention of Trump through The Apprentice, and the presidential campaign that began as a branding exercise before transforming American politics. Drawing on Wolff’s decades of reporting and personal encounters with Trump, including a revealing conversation in which Trump declared his goal was simply “to be the most famous man in the world,” the episode explores the relentless pursuit of attention that has defined his life.
