While I was away I see that there are all kinds of new firestorms for the Trump campaign: racism, that he has hired many undocumented workers and a new unauthorized documentary he tried to squash in 1989 that now somehow has come back to life:
A 25-year-old documentary on Donald Trump that the real estate mogul reportedly tried to quash at the time of its filming now has been revived in light of his presidential bid.
"Trump: What's The Deal?" was bankrolled by businessman Leonard Stern, who owned various New York media properties at the time, including the alternative weekly newspaper The Village Voice. It was conceived by the late producer Ned Schnurman as part of a series called "Famous Americans," according to a 1989 New York Magazine cover story on the project.
"What's The Deal?" ultimately failed to reach an audience for a number of reasons: Trump reportedly tried to derail the project, Stern refused to infuse more cash into its production after a certain point, and no TV stations ever agreed to air it, according to the New York Magazine story. The New York Times reported that in 1991, over Stern's objections, Schnurman did end up screening the 90-minute finished product to an audience of 800 people in Bridgehampton, New York.
"The unauthorized documentary since had been kept under wraps until it was posted for free online last week. What's striking about watching "What's The Deal?" today -- and learning its backstory -- is that so much of what kept The Donald in the headlines in the late '80s still rings true going into the 2016 election."
"One of the most ironic discoveries of Trump's not yet two-month-old presidential campaign was the presence of undocumented workers at the site of the future Trump International Hotel at the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington, D.C. One of the cornerstones of Trump's 2016 campaign has been railing against immigrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico."
"But as "What's The Deal?" pointed out, Trump had hired a contractor that employed what was known as "the Polish brigade" -- more than 200 undocumented immigrants -- to clear the way for Trump Tower in New York City. (Trump was later sued and denied any knowledge of the undocumented workers, even though his company supervised the demolition.)"

It's kind of convenient that a documentary film that had been underwraps for 25 years, resurfaces now don't you think? I'm not denying the charges that he used undocumented workers-I'm sure that's true.
There also has 'resurfaced' his past comments that clearly show him supporting Democrats and dismissing Republicans in the past.

What I wonder though is who is 'resurfacing' all this? Obviously the RNC, et. al.
Meanwhile, the Koch Brothers are out to get him.

Again, I wonder if he could win in Britain though.
