Plot Synopsis

In this four-part docuseries, friends, associates and critics reveal the truly American story of Donald Trump, who, well before his U.S. presidency, was a polarizing figure with a win-at-all-costs attitude that brought fame, fortune and plenty of critics for this brash businessman. In the 1970s, Donald emerges from his father's shadow and negotiates a huge real estate deal, then sets his sights on building his namesake tower. Donald's decadence ramps up in the '80s as he gets into the casino business and expands his brand. But his personal life begins to unravel. Trump teeters on the brink of financial ruin as his divorce and affair make headlines, but he looks to the stock market to fuel his comeback. In the 21st century, Trump's star rises again in reality television before he turns his attention toward the ultimate seat of power: the White House. TRUMP: AN AMERICAN DREAM had its U.S. premiere on Friday, March 30, 2018 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Netflix released all four episodes.
