The remarkable true story of Donald Trump’s family history – one of the most extraordinary immigration success stories ever told – and what this background reveals about the United States’ 45th president. Drawing on an incredible archive, it looks back at Trumps' roots, from his immigrant German grandfather Friedrich, who built the beginnings of the Trump fortune on vice and shady dealings during the gold rush, to his father Fred, a real estate tycoon and master of self-promotion. As the world looks for answers on who Donald Trump really is, this fascinating programme shows that the forces that have shaped him more than anything else can be found in his family tree.
