i'm joined right now by david cay johnston.and the author of "the making of donald trump." thank you for that, talk about the evolution, devolution, breakdown, whatever you want to call it, of donald trump from the time he was a showboating business guy, nothing illegal or wrong about that, to this guy that found a way to make himself the tribune of the right. >> well, donald's always been about money, despite that 1980 interview, i guess it was tom brokaw. money has been very important to him. his very first big deal, the building of the grand hyatt in manhattan, he put no money into it. it was all borrowed money. he got welfare worth about $400 million over 40 years from that deal and that's the standard trump deal. put up no money of your own, get guaranteed money up-front by taking fees or part of the loan proceeds, and then take as much cash out of the enterprise as you can, until you sell it or it weakens and you have to close it down and move on. and with the exception of trump university, where trump put up $1 million t
