tune in to fox news channel tonight for fox news reporting donald trump with bret baier. have a great week. we'll see you next week. when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best, they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. >> donald trump has been rewriting the rule book in politics. >> oh, i don't know what i said, i don't remember. >> i would like to punch him in the face, i'll tell you. >> and move to the front of the pack doing it. >> they would be carried out on a stretcher, folks. >> and people have punched out against him as well. could he be the future president? >> i hope he can save my job. i have a hard time imagining that the establishment would

actually have the balls to do that. >> the country is going to start winning, winning, winning. >> fox news reporting, donald trump, the disrupter, this is bret baier. >> it's as improbable as it is entertaining, a celebrity/mogul who's never held office, has seized the presidential election cycle. donald trump has done it by taking no prisoners, by always attacking, never retreating. by saying things no politician has ever said and by doing so has changed the face of american politics and somehow connected with the public in a way that few politicians ever have. we joined trump's campaign in march, when it was peak trump, he was on victory to victory. spirits were high, the schedule

nonstop. though as with any such operation, there was a question looming in the background, is this campaign moving ever upward, or has it topped out? no one could answer that then, but we ran into some surprising incidents along the way. here's john roberts. >> reporter: march 11. st. louis, missouri. donald trump is on stage. >> we're going to start winning again, we're going to win with the military, we're going to win with with our veterans, we're going to take care of them. >>. >> reporter: he's delivering what amounts to a stump speech. >> we're going to win, win, win, we're going to make america

great. thank you all, thank you up there. >> reporter: and he does seem to love them and they love him back. after the speech, the love fest continues as he waved into the crowd, his fans surrounding him, many clamoring for an autograph. trump's been at it for months, but this is something he never gets tired of. in fact seeing his fans face to face seems to ever even liven him. and to his supporters, this is someone who understands them, talks like them, thinks like them, of course he is most decidedly not one of them. it's the trump paradise and if this connection to his poor supporters that have been his biggest strength. trump's next stop is chicago, and to get him there is one of the most luxurious private jet

liners in the world, a 747 named trump force one. he said that if he's elected president, changing to air force one would be a step down. the plane could hold up to 43 passengers in first class leather seats, each with gold plated seat belts. there's also a dining area, two bedrooms, a private bathroom and shower and a main lounge with a 15-inch flat screen tv and multiplex movie system. >> here's a picture of you and your father, on the roof of a building in 1973. >> that's right. >> if your father had been told when that picture was taken that his son was the front runner to be president of the united states? >> he would be very proud. that's a nice picture, i remember that picture.

that's the first time i ever had any picture in a magazine cover. who would have ever believed. it's been an interesting process. the whole political process, i have learned so much. >> what have you learned about yourself? >> you have to be able to handle pressure, and my life has been a big pressure cooker, and i have always been through that. but political pressure is a little bit different. >> how so? >> it's coming at you very fast. >> personal. >> very personal. >> ben carson popped up on that big screen tv, a former rival, carson is now supporting donald trump. >> why donald trump? >> because we have political operatives trying to manipulate the results. >> reporter: it was a triumphant warning for trump, yet there were all right warning signs.

earlier that week his campaign manager had allegedly man handled a reporter and the incident was still getting a lot of attention. could it mean that a candidacy that had been flying so high was losing altitude? still as the plane descended into chicago for that night's rally, everything seemed on track, no one could prepare for the darkest moments the campaign would yet see. when we come back, we show you the outrage us behavior of candidate donald trump, from long shoot to front-runner. verk twice. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one sided.

when donald donald trump said he was running for president, approximate pthe pun good laugh. but when they stopped laughing, look who was on top. >> my father, donald j. trump. >> it was an entrance that may have seemed more appropriate for a vegas act than a politician, but last june in donald trump tower, donald trump had something very important to say to america. >> ladies and gentlemen, i am officially running for president of the united states. and we are going to make our country great again. >> reporter: the 69-year-old billionaire realistic mogul had never held office, but now he was going for all the marbles.

beyond the announcement, one section of his speech got almost all of the attention. >> when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best, they're bringing drugs, crime, rapists. i'm not saying they're all bad. >> ignore him, he's not going to win the republican nomination. >> i really don't think it's what the republican party needs. >> when he started talking about mexico sending us their worst rapists and drug dealers but some of them are okay. >> reporter: one of trump's opponents, lindsay graham knew where this was going. >> i knew he was going to exploit the immigration issue, and that would mean we're going

down the wrong road when it comes to fixing the problem as a party. >> reporter: trump begins banging the immigration drum. >> i will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and i'll have mexico pay for that wall. >> reporter: that line became fodder for many punch lines. >> how are you going to deal with immigration. >> build a giant wall. >> what about the economy? build a giant wall. >> reporter: yet his tough talk struck a cord and his concerns seemed validated to many, when on july 1, in the sanctuary city of san francisco, 32-year-old kate styly was killed by an illegal mexican who had already been deported five times. trump -- his free wheeling style

got the lion's share of media attention. for instance, no one makes fun of a war hero, except donald trump, here talking about mccain. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero that was captured. i don't like people who get captured, i have to tell you. >> he needs to apologize, and it remains to be seen if he has sense enough to do that. >> you can't be an unviable candidate. >> his polling improved. >> reporter: what would make other candidates radioactive only seemed to make him stronger. there was the comment he made in rolling stone magazine by carly fiorina, he said look at that face, would anyone vote for that? he even mocked a reporter's disability. >> you got to see this guy, i

don't know what i said, i don't remember. maybe that's what i said. >> reporter: but trump's position atop the polls remains firm. >> they say i have the most loyal people, that i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters. it's incredible. >> reporter: yet he was taking political stances that seemed very extreme. >> yes, we have to look at mosques, we have no choice. we have to see what's happening. >> reporter: he was condemned for the statement. >> the first amendment protects religious liberty and i have spent the last several decades defending the religious liberty of every american. >> reporter: but once again, the news seemed to go his way. >> we're getting worth from the fire department in the city of san bernardino that some 20 people having been shot in a

mass shooting. >> reporter: on december 2, there was a terrorist attack by a muslim couple in san bernardino, california that killed 14 and injured 22. by month's end, trump had a 39% lead in the poll. so far it had been all talk, but now it was the voters turn to have their say. after a misstep in iowa where he lost to ted cruz. >> we finished second, and i want to tell you something, and i'm just honored, i'm really honored and i want to congratulate ted. >> reporter: trump recovered, taking three states in a row. >> according to the republicans we weren't expected to win very much and now we're winning, winning, winning. >> reporter:nd on supertuesday,

trump won 7 out of 10 states. donald trump was now the unquestioned front runner. the dwindling field turned their sights on him. but were they too late? he seemed to be the only candidate with a clear path to victory on the ballot at the republican convention. one thing would change, no one would mock trump's chances again. >> donald trump didn't express himself like other politicians, but what mattered most was he seemed to be expressing the feelings of a lot of other americans, we'll talk to some of them next. i've been on my feel all day.

i'm bushed! yea me too.

>> it's safe to say donald trump came as a surprise to the political and media class. this is partly because he seized upon issues that mattered donald trump seized on issues that meant a lot to a lot of americans. one such issue, trade. from the start of his campaign, donald trump's economic populism had made him a favorite among voters. this cell phone video went viral last february. >> the best way to stay competitive and protect business for long-term is to move production from our facility in indianapolis to monterrey mexico. >> reporter: it shows the moment

when 1,400 workers at carrier air conditioning their jobs will be shipped to monterrey, mexico. mark was there when management made the announcement. >> i want to be clear, this is strictly a business decision. >> some people were hollering, some people were raising some cane. >> you heard one guy said f-u. >> david heartsong has worked for carrier for years. >> i looked at my girlfriend sheryl, and she was crying, because it was just devastating. >> i was just basically numb, i

didn't know what the hell to think. >> just minutes later, donald trump was the only candidate to speak about the mass layoff. >> all of these people that were being laid off they were crying, it was a very sat situation. >> reporter: he explain what he would do do -- >> stay where you are or build in the united states. >>. >> reporter: that sort of talk directly contradicted decades of republican thinking on free trade. >> i thought hell yeah, it's about time someone said something. >> though mark wedle is a democrat, this time around he's supporting trump. >> this entire political system needs to be changed, nothing gets done, nothing happens to benefits the american people, it benefits somebody else. >> this election is very

important to everybody, not just me, but to everybody. and we have got to start doing something. >> if we let everybody go to mexico, we're not going to have any jobs for our grand children. >> i think everybody's just mad and they got fed up with the government letting things like this happen. >> i appreciate any candidate that's going to do more to keep jobs in america. >> i hope he can safe my job. and everybody else's job that's in the same situation. this is not the first factory that's shut down. >> another factory is niagra ceramics that closed in 2014. >> it was just impossible to compete with the foreign market, asia in particular. >> reporter: joe bronco was a vice president. >> it's very difficult for us to manufacture a product in the usa

and dollars per piece more than you could buy it when it landed at a port on either coast. >> reporter: today the old warehouse knefeel s haunted, but by ghosts but by people who -- >> at tpd of the two weeks, we all got a phone call saying do not return. >> we held on as long as we could, slowly trimming the fat, as close to the bone as we could to try to stay operational and we just couldn't do it. we just couldn't hold on. it was one of the saddest points of my life, to be honest with you, because we have had hundreds of family suddenly without work. >> bronco was down but not out. he has opened a new ceramics facility in rochester, new york,

much smaller, but growing. >> skilled craft is definitely what we need here. without that, it would be very difficult for to us complete in this market. >> bronco may be management, but he agrees with the employees we saw earlier. >> donald trump made it very clear that we have made some bad trade deals and they are affecting businesses like me today and we are death nfinitel working on a level playing field. the fact that donald trump is a businessman is playing a huge factor in my support of him. he understands what it's like to be where i am, in a much larger scale. >> how did you decide to support trump? at what point did you say, this is a candidate i want to get behind? >> i started out as a jeb bush supporter, and when all the dust

settled and his campaign never caught fire and he with drew and there was donald trump. >> new york congressman -- niagra ceramics afloat for several years. >> trying to save the jobs we could say in my case partnering as a management team and thinking as an entrepreneurial smaller company we could complete with the chinese, but it was unrelenting. >> reporter: that firsthand experience was one reason he became the first member of city council to back donald trump. >> you think he'll bring new voters in? >> you're seeing them register, he's going to crossover very strongly into the independent vote, but also the working, blue collar vote if you l many in my district in western illinois. >> so you're saying he speaks

the language of the blue collar middle class worker? >> it gets back the jobs that that got shipped off to -- a lot of folks said when is enough enough? and that is the language that trump is speaking. >> reporter: with his views on trade, donald trump lasted wide open in republican and indeed american politics. it may not be surprising that the frustrations and even anger of the working man has played such a large role in this election cycle. but how is it that this celebrity billionaire of all candidates who came to be the one who tapped into those powerful currents? that's next. currents? that's next.

no matter what the outcome,

historians will someday write about donald trump's run for president. but to those who thought his candidacy came out of nowhere, there's actually a lot of history leading up to it. in fact a whole lifetime's worth. here's martha mcallen. >> donald john trump was born in queens new york. fred was a real estate developer, little donald grew up around building sites and construction workers but he had a rebellious streak and fred was a no nonsense father. >> his parents sent him off to a military school to get more disciplined? why did they do that? >> a lot of type a personality in the trump family. he didn't get into a lot of trouble, but he had a little bit of a rambunctious side. my father was raised in military

school. >> they sent him to the military academy. >> i also spoke to donald jr. >> it was a great way to get him on the right track as far as his dealings. >> donald trump followed his father into real estate. in 1971, he was given full control of the family company, which he renamed the trump organization. but trump wasn't your average real estate developer, he was regularly seen on the town with a beautiful woman on his arm. he married ivana, together they became an inescapable part of the man hat tachb scene. in 1983, trump opened his flagship building on fifth avenue, trump tower. in 1987, he published hiss best seller, the art of the deal.

trump had become a national figure, you never knew where he would show up next. >> excuse me, where's the lobby? >> down the hall and to the left. >> thanks. >> way back then, mike dunbar, a gop activist from new hampshire saw political promise in the billionaire. >> that's why i started a draft trump campaign. >> so in october of 1987, as people waved trump for president signs, donald trump made his first campaign speech, speaking without notes, he hit on some of the same economic ideas that made him the front-runner today. >> the message in 1987 didn't change, just the players, back then it was japan and saudi arabia, today it's china and mexico. we're still getting our lunch eaten by our trading partners and the people who are hurting are people like me, people who work for a living, we're the ones who are feeling it. so trump appeals to us.

>> reporter: after the speech, they left the restaurant and moved trump to a nearby press conference. >> i had to get him from the speaker's podium through a side door, which was a pretty good distance. and as we moved along, he kept stopping and shabking hands wit the wait staff and the firemen and everybody else. he ignored everybody with the suits on, but it was the common man that he reached out to. and that's what's happening today, he's reaching out to us, not the guys in the suits. >> reporter: he didn't run back then, but the seed was planted. >> the towers in my opinion will be the most spectacular buildings ever built in this country. >> reporter: in the 90s his business ventures had some ups and downs, so did his relationships. >> we have a great relationship. we have always had a great

relationship. >> reporter: he and if i vanna had a very public divorce in 1993. he married marla -- in 2004, his profile rose as never before, when he became the star of nbc's hit show "the apprentice." >> you're fired. you're fired. you're fired. >> and he married his present day wife in 2005 but he never stopped thinking about politics, we asked the president of the polling company to do some research, to see where he would stand in the 2012 race. >> what was missing in the field for many republican voters in 2011 was somebody who was not a

typical politician, somebody who would be an outsider to the system in washington, but also somebody who wasn't completely unfamiliar with them. >> reporter: his role on "the apprentice" made him appealing to many voters. >> there was a very apolitical attitude for him. >> reporter: but 2012 wasn't his year, instead, he endorsed republican candidate mitt romney, another businessman who sold himself as someone who could get things done. it was now or never for trump. he started constructing a staff, he gave speeches at places like cpac. >> i'm not doing this for fun, i'm doing it because we have to take our country back. >> reporter: but still, people wondered if he would really pull the trigger. there were two people who knew

he was serious. for a while, people didn't take your dad's presidential aspirations spea s seriously. >> i could see he was frustrated. >> when he was spending time speaking at cpac and getting himself deeper into the circles of the conservative and the republican party, did he get a sense that he could sort o'outsmart the way the operation works? >> i don't think it was about outsmarting, he just went to the people. >> i would say for 45 minutes, he asked very probing, intelligent questions about what does it take physically, and how do you balance yourself, what would it cost through january 2015 through south carolina, i said probably between $70 million and 80 million.

he said this will be more interesting than a yacht. >> so by the time trump announced his run, he was ready. the rest of the candidates may not have been ready for him, but his public was. >> it's not a campaign anymore, it's a movement. people are following him because they finally feel like they have that voice again. >> when we last saw trump on the campaign trail, he was flying to a rally thousands of feet above the ground, but it wasn't until he landed that he hit some real turbulence. right under this tree. ♪ (man) some things are worth holding onto. they're hugging the tree.

in the land and that something is darngerous. >> reporter: in chicago, trump protesters were so well organized, to determined to disrupt, that trump did something unique for him, he backed off and cancelled the event. >> and for the safety of all the tens of thousands of people who have gathered around the arena, tonight's rally will be postponed until another day. thank you very much for coming. 6. >> trump! trump! >> [ bleep ]!

seriously injured before this was all over. >> you have a campaign that encourages violence, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord. >> reporter: and it lasted through the weekend as he went to dayton, ohio. trump's response was characteristically blunt. >> hillary was saying donald trump has to stop the rhetoric, he has to stop it and my people are great. it's these people that are the problem. >> reporter: chicago was a crazy time for the donald trump candidacy, but he would soon find out there was more trouble ahead. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.

it's been said, april is the cruelest month. it sure has seemed that way for donald trump. as march turned into april, the trump campaign was still front page news. but heading into the april 5th wisconsin primary, he seemed less and less concerned with the message. >> i thought it was a nice picture of heidi, i thought it was fine. >> on march 29, campaign manager cory luendowski was charged with misdemeanor battery for the incident where he grabbed a female reporter?

>> am i supposed to be loyal to someone or am i supposed -- >> trump said women who have abortions should be punished if the procedure was banned. >> there has to be some form of punishment for the woman. >> reporter: and later seemed to change his position on the issue more than once, if these storie have the capacity to hurt trump, in particular with female voters. >> you called the women you don't like pat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. >> i'm not a fan of megyn kelly. i don't like her. >> reporter: as we have seen, this isn't the first time trump had woman problems. john raurerts asked trump about a potential gender gap among voters. >> i think i'm going to do great with women. >> people are wondering, your feud with megyn kelly. you sent out 119 tweets about her, nine of which you say she's crazy. is that presidential? >> i have nothing against megyn. in the last debate i said she

treated me fairly, although she she should have given the letter i gave her. >> why do you keep going down this road? >> i tell you why, she's very nasty to me, and she doesn't treat me fairly. i can sit back and take it or i can let people understand or let people know. >> i don't like discussing megyn because i have other things to talk about that are much, much more important. i don't want to talk about megyn. >> trump didn't want to talk about megyn then, but would all these incidents have a cumulative effect. >> mr. trump now in 2016 is facing a different kind of headwind that he's not faced since the beginning of his candidacy. people are now starting to wonder if this guy whose entire narrative is built on winning can actually win in the fall. >> reporter: one test of that proposition came in wisconsin where trump lost by double digits. and this time, no televised appearance for trump. instead his campaign issued a statement saying, quote, lyin' ted cruz was being used by party bosses attempting to steal the

nomination from mr. trump. was this a turning point in his campaign? to someone like lindsey graham, trump supporters needed a reality check. >> this idea that somehow mr. trump is going to bring in democratic voters to override his collapse with hispanics and young women is just foolish. so you can sugar coat this any way you want. if we nominate donald trump, we're going to lose, it's going to cost us the senate and put the house in jeopardy. almost anybody else wins the election. >> but before anything else, trump has to win the nomination. and it's looking more and more likely that there will be a contested convention. trump supporters fear the republican establishment will conspire to deny him the nomination. >> i have a hard time imagining that the establishment would actually have the balls to do

that, but the fact we're talking about it is an indication of how contemptuous they are of regular folk. >> if he does become the nominee, many advise that he'll have to pivot, not be the man he's been during the campaign so far. >> the very habits that got him to here aren't the habits that are going to get him into the presidency. he's got to almost double the size of that base by attracting people who currently are very suspicious of him. he will not attract them if he continues the current, you know, sort of twitter, slugging it out, terrific in a bar but not very clever. >> reemerging in his home state, trump canceled a california trip in order to keep campaigning in new york. where he now needed to win convincingly. based on my conversation with new york representative chris

collins, the first member of congress to endorse trump, even his supporters might have to maintain a certain distance while waiting for a different sort of trump to emerge. you're against mass deportation, you're against banning muslims, even temporarily, from entering the country. it sounds like even though you're endorsing mr. trump, you are distancing yourself from him in some aspects. >> well, i think it's always safe to say we can agree at a top level. i don't think i'm that far away from mr. trump. >> is it realistic to build a wall along the southern border? >> there are parts of it which we have to do, and whether it's a physical wall, a rhetorical wall, it starts with immigration reform as far as e-verify and making sure the folks that need the workers where they can't get americans to do the work, like the dairy farmers, they have a method with visas to fill those jobs. >> yeah, it's just different sounding than we're going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it.

>> it's a different-sounding -- >> answer. >> -- answer. >> and the ban on muslims? >> we need to keep america safe. if we don't know who is coming across the border, they can't come in, but certainly i wouldn't ban muslims for being muslim. >> and you think the nuance will come when he becomes president? >> i absolutely do. i know it's not realistic to deport 12 million people and take them across the border. so once mr. trump is president or nominee, we can sit down and talk about these things, clarify them. >> is it fair to say that people who support donald trump see in him what they want to see in him? >> they see in him a leader, a leader who speaks directly, now let's get the experts together and move. >> love him or hate him, trump has always been his own man. right now, there are a lot of considerations pulling him in different directions.

the question at present is which direction he will choose. is it the one that leads him to the white house or merely back to a billionaire's life of luxury? it's not easy to talk about donald trump. for one thing, he's such a polarizing figure that no matter what you say, you're likely to be called some unpleasant names. but there are a few things we can say about him. first, he's a true political phenomenon, unlike anything we've seen. a businessman who was able to all but take over a party with its establishment in open war against him. second, that he's filled a niche and he's attracted a loyal following that believes this country has seriously gone off the rails. third, that while he is popular with his base, polls show him consistently to be the candidate with the highest negatives. what we don't know is whether

this most unusual candidacy has reached its peak or has still more surprises in store. for that, keep watching this channel. that's our program. good night. the ram heavy duty is the most capable full-sized pickup on the road today. and, the ram 1500 is the most fuel-efficient, full-size pickup. ever. so what does that mean? it means ram trucks give you the best of both worlds. so go big. and go far. because the best never rest. the citi double cash® card. it's a cash back win-win. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. i tabut with my back paines,
