In this first installment of our three-part series on Donald J. Trump, we explore his unlikely path to the presidency from his privileged upbringing in Queens to his rise as a real estate mogul and reality TV star, and ultimately, to his shocking entry into politics. Trump defied every political norm, facing scandals and setbacks as he built a brand and a movement. We unpack the key moments and motivations that led to his political campaign, which would inspire his future runs for president of the United States. Part two, covering Trump’s first term in office, will arrive as Episode 45, the season three finale, in April 2026.
