donald trump's success it's safe to say came as a surprise to the political and media class. this is partly because he seized upon issues that mattered deeply to a lot of americans who'd felt long ignored. one such issue -- trade. from the start of his campaign, donald trump's economic populim s made him a favorite of white, working class voters. >> best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long term is to move production

9:26 pm

9:27 pm
in a much larger scale. >> before he entered politics, new york congressman chris collins was personally involved in securing funding that kept niagara ceramics afloat for several years. and then, he became the first congressman to support trump. today, he is trump's congressional liaison in the transition. were you ever nervous jumping on the trump train so early? >> i was never nervous. it was an easy decision for me to make coming from western new york devastated by bad trade deals. >> when it is president trump, how do you think he helps jobs come back to upstate new york? >> we have to negotiate trade deals and may well be some tariff-type of barriers to level the playing field. >> when i'm president, if a company wants the fire their workers and leave for mexico, or other countries, then we will charge them a 35% tax where they want to ship the products back
9:28 pm
into the united states. >> i don't believe that president of ford now going to follow through and move those small cars to mexico. i think that's a decision he will reverse. >> talking tariffs, you heard the critics saying the jobs are gone for good. you don't buy it? >> not everyone is going to be, you know, in the stem world, scientist, an engineer a physician. they're great jobs and let's be honest with ourselves. where are the good jobs? and it's not in the lower paid surface industries. it's making stuff. what we used to do. and we have got to level the playing field tie frustrations and even anger of the working class played a central role in the 2016 election. but how's it that a celebrity billionaire came to be their voice? that's next. ♪

9:32 pm
1946, in queens, new york. fred was a real estate developer specializing in middle income apartments. young donald grew up around building sites and construction workers. but he had a rebellious streak and fred was a no-nonsense father. he sent his son to a military school. the new york military academy. >> my father raised in a military school and said it's the best thing that ever happened to him. gave him a lot of discipline. >> i think that's donald there. see, he's the biggest guy. >> ted went to school with trump. they became friends, perhaps the first time trump connected with one of the little people. >> he did protect me a lot from bullies. when he said don't go near me, they didn't. >> even back then, the young trump was a mighty competitor. >> a great athlete. anything he wanted to do, he could be the first. far exceeded what the rest of the group was like as far as his talent. >> trump followed his father into real estate.
9:33 pm
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 had a taste for the spotlight. and was regularly seen on the town with a beautiful woman on his arm. in 1977, he married ivana. a model from czechoslovakia and became a part of the manhattan scene. in 1983, trump opened up the flagship building on 5th avenue, trump tower. in 1987, he published his best seller "the art of the deal." trump had become a national figure. you never knew where he would show up next. way back then, mike dunbar, the gop activist of new hampshire, saw political promise in the billionaire. dunbar liked the idea of a businessman who could get things done. >> and so, that's why i started a draft trump campaign. >> and so, in october 1987, at a
9:34 pm
restaurant in ports mouth, new hampshire, 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 themes that propelled him to the white house. >> the message in 1987 didn't change. just the players. back then japan and saudi arabia. today it's china and mexico. still getting the lunch eaten by our trading partners and the people who are hurting are people like me. people who work for a living. we tier ones feeling it. so, trump appeals to us. >> after the speech they left the restaurant and moved trump to a nearby press conference. >> and i had to get him from the speaker's podium to a side door which was a pretty good distance, and as we moved along, he kept stopping, shaking hands with the wait staff, with the cops and with the firemen who were there. he ignored the other people wearing the suits and everything else and it was the common man
9:35 pm
that attracted donald trump and that he reached out to. and i think that's what's happening today. he's still reaching out to us, not to the guys in the suits. >> he didn't run back then but the seed had been planted. in the '90s, the business ventures had some ups and downs. and so did his love life. >> we have a great relationship. we've always had a great relationship. but it's fine. >> he divorced in 1991. he then married actress marlo maples in 1993. >> well, i think it was just a relationship that was happening and it just -- >> and divorced her in 1999. 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 know what? you're fired. >> and he married his present-day wife, model melania
9:36 pm
in 2005. trump never stopped thinking about politics and as he entered his 60s, if he was serious about a run, he could no longer play the waiting game. he asked kellyanne con way, president and ceo company to do some research to see where he would stand in the 2012 race. >> what was missing from the field for many republican voters in 2011 was somebody who was not a typical politician. somebody who would be an outside tore the system in washington but also somebody who was not completely unfamiliar to them. >> years later, of course, con way herself would play a major role in trump's campaign. but in 2011, trump wasn't yet ready to throw his hat in the ring. instead, he endorsed republican candidate mitt romney, another businessman who sold himself as someone who could get things done. but when romney lost, it was now or never for trump. he started to put together a staff. he also started connecting with
9:37 pm
conservative media outlets and organizations and gave speeches at places like c-pac. >> i'm not doing this for fun. i'm doing it because we have to take our country back. >> one person he met with in early 2015, newt gingrich. >> he asked very probing, intelligent questions about, you know, what's it take physically and schedule it and balance yourself. what would it cost from january of 2015 through south carolina? i said, probably between 70 million and 80 million and he thought for a minute and thought, a yacht. so, this would be more interesting than a yacht. i sort of thought at that point he is going. >> by the time trump announced his run, he was ready. and if the rest of the candidates were not ready for him, the public was. donald trump has described his campaign as a movement. and that movement has been collecting some unlikely voices. we'll talk to some of them when we return.
