Video of a Young Trump

Wow! Long-time friend Earl sends a link to a YouTube video of a young Donald Trump being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on her TV show in 1988. No Photoshopping™going on, this is The Donald 30 years ago. The screen-top chyron says "25 years ago" but it's out of date.

With no presidential aspirations but expressing considerable frustration with supposed allies' unfair trade practices toward the U.S., he really hasn't changed his tune much. He was impressive then, he's impressive now, and undiplomatically blunt both then and now.

As a COTTonLINE reader, you probably like Trump. You'll like him even more when you see him at an unbelievably young-looking 42 (or thereabouts).
