Long before Donald Trump became America's 45th president, he was a reality TV series star; a business mogul and businessman who had inherited and then expanded much of his father's real estate company.
Throughout the Eighties, when Trump was in his late 30s and 40s, he transitioned from being an important New Yorker to a well-liked celebrity: he became known for his bullish personality, heralded as a media savvy industrialist. He partied with Bill Clinton, was friends with Michael Jackson, published a best-selling book (The Art of the Deal, 1987) and was a regular at Studio 54.
