Amanpour & Company: Hari Sreenivasan Interviewing David Cay Johnston: 'Donald Trump's Whole Life Has Been a Facade'

"Donald Trump was back in court today. This time, as the former president answers for his business dealings in New York, his empire could be at stake. The self-described property mogul has already been found liable for “persistent and repeated” fraud in this civil trial. David Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning economics reporter. He joins the show to discuss what this means for the Trump organization."

4-5 years ago, longtime Republican strategist and now political filmmaker Mark McKinnon, who served for both President George W. Bush and then Senator John McCain, was on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon. And they were talking about the current investigations into Donald Trump dealing with the 2016 presidential campaign and potential investigations that could be facing then President Trump, once he's no longer President, whether he's not reelected in 2020, or leaves office after his 2nd term would've been over in 2025. 

Mark McKinnon told Don Lemon that the biggest personal mistake that Donald Trump ever made in his life, was getting elected President of the United States. The 2nd biggest mistake that he made, according to Mark McKinnon, was running for President of the United States. Why? Because now that Mr. Trump is in the public eye full-time, all these new investigations not just about his presidency, his business career, or personal life, but how his business and personal affairs affect his presidency, will be under public scrutiny.

I'm sure New York City and the State of New York pre-2016 knew or suspected how big of a fraud and crook that Donald Trump really is. But they never went after him, because they probably thought he had too much money and they couldn't convict him in court. 

But with the Trump presidency and now we know what kind of President he was and what kind of President he would be if God (if there is one) really hates America and somehow Mr. Trump becomes President again and with all the private investigations into his personal and business affairs that David C. Johnston and others have done about him and we know about how much debt he's in and what his personal wealth might actually be, all the losses that he reported on his own personal tax returns, the State of New York and New York City feel that they now have no choice but to expose and convict Donald Trump, for the good of the country. 

There was once a real, real-life, true crime, reality TV show, from Investigation Discovery, called "I Almost Got Away With It". Not saying that Donald Trump ever appeared on that show, at least not as an ex-fugitive. But Mr. Trump's whole career has been about getting way with it and screwing innocent people for his own personal profit. (Not in a sexual way, that we know of) 

But now that the light is on and we know not just what kind of person Donald J. Trump is, but what kind of businessman he is, his days as a fraud, at least in the State of New York, Florida might be different for him, but his days as The Don of Manhattan, look like they're coming to an end. But only because he decided that he wanted to be President of the United States and got himself elected.
