NBC preparing a blast from the past for Trump?
Why did NBC recently ask to buy The Madness Of Donald Trump, a British 1995 documentary, including its unused footage?
Selina Scott, a British journalist who rose to fame co-hosting BBC’s morning show in the 1980s, has a history with Trump. In 1995, Scott chronicled Trump in an hour-long documentary.
Since one of the nicer things Scott calls Trump is the comb-over creep, I suspect that the unused footage NBC wants may illustrate his attitude to women. Trump gave Scott a lot of access:
During the two weeks I spent with Trump there were to be helicopter rides over Manhattan, and private jet flights to his lavish ocean-side Florida estate, a trophy property once owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post, one of the richest women in America.
He invited me to his poolside party, boasted about his great skills as a billionaire businessman, and, most tellingly, introduced me to the two most important women in his life – his then wife Marla and his mother Mary.
I believe it’s not too fanciful to suggest that the key to understanding Trump is in his attitude to women.
