Summary
Is every single part of Donald Trump's presidency a con-job, just like every part of his life? His wealth- like his policies, promises, and pretend-patiotism- are all a con. How much debt are we finding out that Trump owes and to whom?
Did Trump's son-in-law Jared shake down the middle east for a billion dollars? What scams are Trump's daugher Ivanka working and how is Trump avoiding taxes by shoveling assets to her? And let's not forget Trump's personal lawyer is in prison for tax fraud done on behalf of Trump!
Thom is joined by the ghostwriter of Trump's book 'Art of the Deal', Tony Schwartz on Trump and his latest book 'Dealing with the Devil'. What deficit in his innermost life is Trump forever trying to overcome?
Plus - Why is Brad Parscale on suicide watch?.. And why are so many people grinding their teeth?.. Will Trump's tax returns be the thing that pops the cork on the whole nightmare of him being president?
