  • >> Tonight...

  • >> I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear...

  • >> As Donald Trump begins his presidency...

  • >> We had won the election that no one thought we could win.

  • >> The inside story of how he got there.

  • >> Once I understood that he was willing to double down and be

  • a fighter for what he believes in, I'm all in.

  • >> They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks.

  • >> It felt like a box of matches even before he took the stage,

  • and they were just waiting for Donald Trump to come

  • and light it.

  • >> From his closest advisors...

  • >> I had said to Mr. Trump one day, "Are you ready to win?"

  • >> And his rivals.

  • >> Director Comey's letter...

  • >> Just got smacked by a two-by-four.

  • And it came out of nowhere.

  • >> The provocative campaign...

  • >> Nobody knows the system better than me.

  • >> ...to the presidency.

  • >> Which is why I alone can fix it.

  • >> Tonight on Frontline...

  • >> So help me God...

  • >> "Trump's Road to the White House."

  • >> Tonight's program contains graphic language.

  • Viewer discretion is advised.

  • >> Today is finally the day.

  • The presidential nominees have made their final...

  • >> Today is decision day in America and we are taking a look

  • at the presidential race...

  • >> After a long, contentious presidential race...

  • >> NARRATOR: On Election Day,

  • Donald Trump and his senior campaign team were huddled

  • at Trump Tower.

  • >> They went into election night

  • believing that they were going to lose.

  • >> ...as the polls close across the country...

  • >> NARRATOR: At 5:00 they received the first exit polls.

  • >> We're counting down to the first poll closings right now...

  • >> When we got those early returns, the exit polls,

  • and I actually got it about 5:01, we all had

  • a little bit of a gut punch.

  • >> If Trump wants to win,

  • he's got to hold onto Florida and North Carolina...

  • >> In state after state he was so far behind that I knew

  • that he was going to lose,

  • because the exit polls don't get it wrong.

  • >> We were getting crushed in like Michigan, Pennsylvania.

  • I mean just... and so, from like 6:00 on, you know,

  • we're all like, "Oh, my God."

  • >> And look at all these wins we're projecting

  • for Hillary Clinton right now.

  • Take a look at the electoral map now...

  • >> NARRATOR: It seemed to confirm what the media

  • and political establishment had been saying for months:

  • Donald Trump never had a chance.

  • >> Every senior Republican that I talked to,

  • with only one exception, thought that Trump was going to lose.

  • >> NARRATOR: But as the votes were counted in Florida,

  • a surprise.

  • >> And CNN projects Donald Trump will carry the state

  • of Florida.

  • With its 29 electoral votes, Donald...

  • >> NARRATOR: Florida was just the beginning.

  • >> There's a big ole call to make right now.

  • Donald Trump has won the state of Wisconsin

  • and there goes her blue wall.

  • >> Late on election night

  • one of his senior campaign officials emailed me

  • and just said, "Can you type President Trump?"

  • >> Fox News has called Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

  • >> Our communications director, Jason Miller, held up and said,

  • "A.P. just called."

  • And I said, "Just called what? Which state?"

  • And he said, "The whole race."

  • >> This means that Donald Trump

  • will be the 45th president of the United States.

  • The most unreal, surreal election we have ever seen.

  • >> Chris Christie's son said,

  • "Kellyanne, your phone is ringing."

  • And I looked down and it said Huma Abedin.

  • And she said, "Secretary Clinton would like to speak

  • with Mr. Trump."

  • And I said, "Right now?"

  • And she said, "If he's available."

  • And I said, "He's available."

  • And I said, "Sir, Secretary Clinton."

  • >> NARRATOR: She had been first lady, a senator,

  • and secretary of state.

  • She conceded to an entrepreneur, reality TV star,

  • and novice politician.

  • The call lasted about a minute.

  • >> In an electoral college

  • victory that virtually no one saw coming a year ago,

  • a few months ago...

  • Even a month ago, even yesterday...

  • >> It was an "Oh, my God" moment.

  • It was euphoria that we had won the election

  • that no one thought we could win.

  • >> NARRATOR: Not long after,

  • to the music from Harrison Ford's movie Air Force One,

  • the president-elect arrived at his victory celebration.

  • >> Even for him, it was an overwhelming feeling

  • to see yourself be elected president of the United States.

  • >> You're never going to see anybody like this again.

  • He is somebody that defied every political rule that existed

  • in a way that nobody has ever done before.

  • >> It's my honor.

  • It's an amazing evening.

  • It's been an amazing two-year period.

  • And I love this country.

  • Thank you.

  • >> NARRATOR: It was an unprecedented outcome.

  • Over 17 months, Donald Trump had broken nearly every rule

  • of American politics.

  • Then came the question whether the way he had campaigned

  • would be the way he would govern.

  • >> Trump is going to be Trump.

  • This idea that you can make him into something else, that's not

  • what the people voted for.

  • They voted for Trump as he is.

  • That's the way they want him to be.

  • And nobody is going to remake him.

  • He will either succeed or fail being Donald Trump.

  • >> The sheer unpredictability of a President Donald Trump...

  • >> ...how unpredictable the new terrain here in Washington is...

  • >> ...is this our new normal, is there reason for concern?

  • >> It's the creation of a new reality.

  • >> Donald Trump has broken the rules of what it means

  • to be president-elect.

  • >> What Trump are we going to see, do you think?

  • >> We're going to constantly have rules that are broken,

  • and my way or the highway...

  • >> A President Trump is very much a wild card...

  • >> We'll call it a political earthquake, an unraveling

  • of the system, or even a revolution...

  • >> NARRATOR: The seeds of Donald Trump's presidency are

  • embedded in his path to power.

  • He redefined what it meant

  • to be a serious presidential candidate,

  • starting with his announcement.

  • >> I remember watching the announcement, and laughing

  • at the entertainment value, the way a lot of people did.

  • >> In Washington you could almost just hear people

  • around town laughing at the... at the... at the idea

  • that this person was going to be a credible threat.

  • He seemed like a cartoon character.

  • >> He did the exact opposite of what every candidate has done

  • before him.

  • It was like extending the middle finger

  • to the political establishment.

  • And in doing that in that very first moment, people took a look

  • at him and said, "You know what, he really is different."

  • >> That is some group of people, thousands...

  • >> I wrote what was supposed to be his announcement speech,

  • and that speech was supposed to clock in at about seven minutes

  • and 43 seconds.

  • >> We got to make the country rich.

  • It sounds crass.

  • Somebody said, "Oh, that's crass."

  • It's not crass.

  • We got $18 trillion in debt.

  • >> Probably three or four minutes into his remarks,

  • I could clearly tell that these were not the prepared remarks,

  • which I had drafted.

  • And then he had gone on to make an announcement speech

  • which lasted somewhere around 45 or 48 minutes.

  • >> When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.

  • They're bringing drugs.

  • They're bringing crime.

  • They're rapists.

  • And some, I assume, are good people.

  • >> When he made his comments about Mexicans,

  • everybody was convinced, "That's it.

  • He just blew himself up."

  • Everybody was like, uh, "This is going to be

  • the death of him."

  • >> NARRATOR: Behind the scenes, Trump's campaign

  • was as unconventional as his announcement.

  • >> Donald Trump's campaign was lean and small and, in a sense,

  • run out of Donald Trump's, you know, instincts.

  • I mean, he threw all of the normal things out the window.

  • >> NARRATOR: Corey Lewandowski, an obscure political operative,

  • was the campaign's manager.

  • >> In my very first meeting with Mr. Trump

  • when he offered me the position to be his campaign manager

  • in January of 2015, he asked me what I thought his odds were

  • of winning the Republican nomination.

  • I said five percent.

  • And he said ten.

  • I said, "Let's settle at seven and a half."

  • >> NARRATOR: They worked 50 floors below

  • Trump's New York penthouse.

  • It had once housed the set where The Apprentice was shot.

  • >> All of the Apprentice camera equipment and furniture had been

  • ripped out of it.

  • You looked up at the ceiling and it was open piping.

  • It was barebones.

  • And a lot of Trump pictures all over the walls.

  • >> NARRATOR: As key advisors, Trump chose his children.

  • Running things behind the scenes, his son-in-law,

  • Jared Kushner.

  • >> It's this family business.

  • With Ivanka and her brothers Eric and Don Jr.,

  • and Ivanka's husband Jared,

  • we had this kind of council of advisors around Trump

  • that he would turn to.

  • >> NARRATOR: The campaign had a fundamental rule:

  • "Let Trump be Trump."

  • >> I used to liken my role to being a jockey

  • on a great racehorse-- let's say American Pharoah.

  • And my job was to maybe drive that horse into the corners

  • a little bit and put some blinders on,

  • but you got to let it run.

  • >> Donald Trump is back on the road campaigning at...

  • >> NARRATOR: He caused controversy from the very start.

  • >> Trump trying to secure the evangelical vote

  • with three campaign events in Iowa today.

  • >> NARRATOR: In Iowa, as he was interviewed

  • by Republican pollster Frank Luntz...

  • >> And he and I get into an exchange over John McCain,

  • because he is taking shots at McCain and I thought

  • they were gratuitous.

  • >> He's not a war hero.

  • >> He's a war hero. >> He's a war hero...

  • >> Five-and-a-half years of...

  • >> He's a war hero because he was captured.

  • I like people that weren't captured, okay?

  • I hate to tell you.

  • >> Do you agree with that?

  • >> He's a war hero because he was captured.

  • >> I couldn't believe he said that.

  • I was completely stunned.

  • Everyone in that room thought, "This is it, it's over."

  • >> Folks, I want to make America great again.

  • We want to get down to brass tacks.

  • We don't want to listen to his stuff with being

  • politically correct and everything has...

  • we have a lot of work to do.

  • >> You know, I asked Mr. Trump after he came off the stage

  • to have a private conversation with him, and I said,

  • "I think we need to fix this."

  • And when I said "Fix it," I meant an apology.

  • And Donald Trump understood things that I didn't understand

  • about the American people,

  • said, "No, no, you don't understand."

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump refused to apologize.

  • >> And once I understood that he was willing to double down

  • on his comments, and be a fighter for what he believes in,

  • I'm all in.

  • And I'm there with you, to support you.

  • >> Don Voyage, Trump is toast after insult...

  • >> Everything erupted after this because social media exploded...

  • >> Virtually every Republican criticized Trump...

  • >> This clip is played on every newscast for the next 48 hours.

  • >> So far Trump's political campaign operates

  • with a no guts, no glory approach.

  • >> And he survived it.

  • He survived walls and Mexicans and everything.

  • That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger,

  • and if you ever needed any evidence,

  • just look at Donald Trump.

  • >> The biggest event to date in campaign 2016...

  • >> Top ten candidates taking the stage...

  • >> Donald Trump gearing up for the crucial...

  • >> NARRATOR: Two and a half weeks later in Cleveland,

  • the first Republican debate.

  • >> Businessman Donald Trump.

  • >> NARRATOR: He was facing off against a group of candidates

  • Republican leaders touted as the best in a generation.

  • >> It is 9:00 p.m. on the East Coast.

  • And the moment of truth has arrived.

  • >> Among the other candidates

  • there was this sort of smug confidence

  • that we know what we're doing.

  • This guy is from show business,

  • a little bit Hollywood, lot of razzle-dazzle.

  • >> NARRATOR: Early in the debate, he faced

  • a crucial test-- whether his tabloid past

  • and outrageous statements would sink his campaign.

  • >> You've called women you don't like "fat pigs," "dogs,"

  • "slobs," and "disgusting animals."

  • Your Twitter account...

  • >> Only Rosie O'Donnell.

  • (laughter)

  • >> No, it wasn't.

  • >> Trump doesn't deny it.

  • He simply says, "I only said that about Rosie O'Donnell."

  • And in a way that is pure Trump.

  • >> What I say is what I say.

  • And honestly, Megyn, if you don't like it, I'm sorry.

  • I've been very nice to you,

  • although I could probably maybe not be based on the way

  • you have treated me, but I wouldn't do that.

  • >> He's doing something that is both repellent

  • and completely authentic, all at once.

  • And he's acknowledging that he said these horrid things.

  • He's not shirking it.

  • I think there were voters out there that said, "You go, man.

  • "You said exactly what you think,

  • and you're not backing down."

  • >> NARRATOR: And Trump wasn't done.

  • After the debate, the candidates appeared

  • in what is known as spin alley.

  • Trump kept the controversy going.

  • >> Donald Trump shows up, as if he needed this hit of adrenaline

  • before he went home to New York.

  • >> You guys okay?

  • Don't hurt yourselves.

  • >> It was like mosquitos to a lantern on a summer night.

  • I mean the entire national press corps descended.

  • >> People were being trampled and camera equipment was flying

  • all over the place and I'd never seen a scene like this.

  • I mean, I've seen many media stampedes but nothing like that.

  • >> What's your history with Megyn?

  • >> I think, I think Megyn behaved very badly, personally.

  • >> The question about women.

  • You didn't like that?

  • >> I thought it was an unfair question.

  • >> Trump can't help himself

  • because he considers anybody questioning his bona fides

  • as someone who he needs to decapitate, essentially.

  • >> NARRATOR: It was just the beginning.

  • At 3:40 in the morning, he lit up Twitter.

  • >> Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight.

  • People are going wild on Twitter!

  • Funny to watch.

  • >> NARRATOR: On the phone with CNN, he pushed harder.

  • >> What is it with you and Megyn Kelly?

  • >> She starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions.

  • And, you know, you could see there was blood

  • coming out of her eyes.

  • Uh, blood coming out of her wherever.

  • >> Donald Trump attacks her and suggests she only asked

  • a tough question because she was menstruating.

  • I mean, um...

  • and his numbers went up.

  • >> She's a lightweight, I couldn't care less about her.

  • >> At every stage in the campaign, Donald Trump was

  • perfectly happy to have the elites be aghast at him.

  • The kind of non-politically correct, decisive, tough,

  • battling kind of personality

  • that he was putting forward in that debate

  • and in the confrontations with Megyn Kelly

  • and others that he sought out.

  • >> NARRATOR: While the media controversy swirled,

  • Trump was out in the country building his base.

  • His personal plane rolled up to hangars

  • filled with curious onlookers, eager to see

  • the reality TV star in person.

  • >> There were a lot of people

  • who were there who were pure curiosity seekers.

  • They were there to see a celebrity.

  • They were there to see the guy they know from The Apprentice.

  • >> Trump is a producer at heart.

  • And when he did these rallies,

  • he made sure that the staging was perfect.

  • So we see the same elements that Trump applied

  • in his hit TV show The Apprentice.

  • We saw that in the early rallies.

  • >> ♪ We're not gonna take it. ♪

  • No, we ain't gonna take it. ♪

  • >> And right at the moment of the first chord,

  • Trump hits the stage.

  • And I felt this wave go through me and that was the moment

  • that I realized, "Holy (bleep), this is real."

  • It was like Pavlov's dog.

  • He hits the stage, they erupt.

  • I had never seen this before.

  • >> Trump just had them in the palm of his hand.

  • He... I mean, they were responding to him.

  • He was responding to them.

  • (cheering)

  • >> Those crowds at those rallies, they were

  • tremendously energizing to him.

  • I mean, it was a... it was a symbiotic relationship.

  • They fed off of each other.

  • The crowd fed off of him, he fed off of the crowd.

  • >> For Donald, confidence is a huge part of the game.

  • This was the whole point of all those rallies.

  • It wasn't just to fire up people to vote for him.

  • It was to fire up Donald Trump.

  • He feeds off of audiences in a way that I think

  • very few politicians do and needed to be energized

  • by the affirmation.

  • And it worked.

  • >> And you know we're in...

  • look at all those live television feeds,

  • it's always tough, every time I speak they put me

  • on live television, so I have to make different speeches.

  • These guys go around,

  • they make the same speech hundreds and hundreds

  • and hundreds of times, nobody cares.

  • It's true.

  • >> He was looking out at the camera bank.

  • And he could see the red light on the camera.

  • And that meant that he was live on CNN.

  • >> You got CNN live, you've got them all, and...

  • >> Or Fox or one of the other networks.

  • And he said that what he tried to do in those rallies was say

  • whatever it took to keep the red light on.

  • >> Now if you like the media,

  • give them a big hand, and if you don't, give them a big boo.

  • (booing)

  • >> NARRATOR: Rather than rely primarily on polls...

  • >> I had a feeling...

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump watched to see how the crowd reacted.

  • >> Early on, they were kind of these rally speeches

  • were a bit rambling and all over the place.

  • As he went on, he started to really hone his message

  • and he started to remember what lines worked.

  • >> We're going to have such a strong military that nobody,

  • nobody is going to mess with us.

  • >> NARRATOR: And what the crowds wanted: Donald Trump.

  • >> We are led by very stupid people.

  • >> NARRATOR: Unfiltered...

  • >> We are going to start winning big league.

  • >> NARRATOR: Angry...

  • >> We can't beat ISIS.

  • Give me a break.

  • >> And it was every location.

  • It was the same messages:

  • "We're tired of Washington lying to us."

  • >> We're going to drive the cars over the illegals.

  • Build a wall!

  • >> Build a wall!

  • >> The American people are angry,

  • and they have a right to be.

  • And what they see in Donald Trump is someone who's willing

  • to fight for them for a change.

  • >> NARRATOR: He called them "the forgotten"

  • and spoke directly to their fears and anger--

  • at Washington, at trade deals, at immigration.

  • >> People in this country are afraid of illegal immigrants.

  • People in this country have become afraid

  • of random violence.

  • They're afraid of jobs being shipped overseas.

  • There is so much that scares Americans.

  • And Donald Trump is the only politician who talked

  • to those concerns and those fears.

  • To his critics it's fear mongering,

  • to his supporters it's truth telling.

  • >> Donald Trump is the projected winner

  • of the New Hampshire primary.

  • >> He gains his front-runner status in a crowded field.

  • >> He's pulling ahead

  • in virtually every Super Tuesday state.

  • >> NARRATOR: In one state after another...

  • >> We love Nevada.

  • We love Nevada, thank you.

  • >> NARRATOR: ...Trump proved that he could use his base

  • of working class voters to win.

  • >> It's mostly white, they don't like political correctness,

  • they feel like they can't speak their mind at home or at work,

  • so they want something else.

  • Trump strolls in, he says exactly what they want to hear.

  • >> We are going to make...

  • >> This makes back-to-back victories for...

  • >> Donald Trump dominating his third consecutive...

  • >> Donald Trump is

  • a professional political wrecking ball...

  • >> NARRATOR: Finally his opponents had

  • to take him seriously.

  • >> At that point the establishment suddenly wakes up

  • and says, "We've got to do something.

  • "We've got to go after him.

  • We can't ignore him anymore."

  • >> He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.

  • And you know how you make America great again?

  • Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.

  • >> The establishment feared him for a lot of reasons.

  • One, he was not of them.

  • Two, he didn't play by their rules.

  • And three, they genuinely thought he was a threat,

  • certainly to the Republican Party, to conservatism,

  • and if he got that far, to the nation.

  • >> Guys, we have a con artist as the frontrunner

  • in the Republican Party.

  • A guy who has made a career out of telling people lies.

  • >> He was a shock to the Republican establishment

  • and they did everything they could, for the most part,

  • to prevent him.

  • >> Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud.

  • His promises are as worthless

  • as a degree from Trump University.

  • He's playing the members of the American public for suckers.

  • >> Every time the establishment attacked Trump,

  • it played into the narrative that they wanted

  • to put out there, which was that he was so anti-establishment,

  • they were going to do anything

  • that they could to take him down.

  • >> This man is a pathological liar.

  • He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth.

  • >> Tonight, live from the Peace Center

  • in Greenville, South Carolina...

  • >> NARRATOR: On the debate stage, Trump hit back.

  • >> You are the single biggest liar,

  • you probably are worse than Jeb Bush.

  • You are the single biggest liar.

  • >> One by one, each rival comes at him.

  • He throws them away.

  • >> This guy lies.

  • Two days ago he said he would take his pants off

  • and moon everybody.

  • >> Tosses a barb in their direction,

  • diminishes them personally.

  • >> And then he tells me, "Oh, my language

  • was a little bit rough."

  • >> Destroys their record.

  • >> This little guy has lied so much about my record.

  • >> Donald Trump had the ability to just grab the microphone,

  • just trample over people.

  • That was entertaining.

  • It was different.

  • >> He hit my hands.

  • Nobody has ever hit my hands.

  • I've never heard of this...

  • Look at those hands.

  • Are they small hands?

  • And he referred to my hands, if they're small,

  • something else must be small.

  • I guarantee you there's no problem.

  • I guarantee it.

  • >> It was ruthless political performance by Donald Trump.

  • He had nothing to lose and he owed nothing

  • to the Republican Party.

  • So instead of standing there as a member of a party

  • trying to get the nomination, he was there for Trump.

  • That changed everything.

  • >> Scott Walker is quitting the presidential race...

  • >> NARRATOR: One by one...

  • >> Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie have suspended

  • their campaigns.

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump's competitors began to fall off.

  • >> Neurosurgeon Ben Carson dropping out of the 2016...

  • >> NARRATOR: But on the campaign trail, at some rallies,

  • things were increasingly ugly.

  • >> The anger only increased as it got farther along.

  • >> It became completely acceptable.

  • It became okay to come to a Trump rally and wear a shirt

  • that says Hillary Clinton is a C-(bleep)-(bleep)-T.

  • >> Lock her up! Lock her up...

  • >> NARRATOR: And there were some in the crowds

  • with a darker agenda.

  • >> The campaign is continually dogged by a small

  • and vocal number of white supremacists,

  • Klansmen, neo-Nazis.

  • >> Some would come in wearing Confederate flags

  • on their t-shirts.

  • >> This isn't a very large group of people,

  • but they are very vocal.

  • And they attach themselves to Trump.

  • >> Trump, whenever there was a moment to draw a line

  • between himself and these extreme parts

  • of the voting bloc, he refused.

  • I think without question, the only way you can interpret that

  • is that he was going to use these groups to try to build

  • this coalition.

  • >> NARRATOR: It wasn't long before anti-Trump protestors

  • began to show up inside the rallies.

  • >> There's a guy,

  • totally disruptive, throwing punches.

  • I love the old days.

  • Do you know what they used to do to guys like that

  • when they were in a place like this?

  • They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks.

  • I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.

  • >> You start seeing these really ugly moments

  • at the rallies, um, with protesters,

  • some of whom are nonwhite protestors, getting treated

  • very violently by his supporters.

  • Trump himself seemed to incite his supporters

  • to go after protestors.

  • >> Knock the crap out of him, would you?

  • Just knock the hell...

  • I promise you I will pay for the legal fees, I promise.

  • I promise.

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump didn't just turn on protestors,

  • he also directed the anger at the media.

  • >> Absolute dishonest, absolute scum.

  • Remember that.

  • Scum. Scum.

  • >> NARRATOR: NBC's Katy Tur became a frequent target

  • after one of her reports.

  • >> She's back there.

  • Little Katy.

  • She's back there.

  • >> He calls me out at the rally,

  • "Look back there, little Katy, she's back there."

  • And I was like, "What?"

  • >> What a lie it was.

  • (crowd booing)

  • No, what a lie, Katie Tur.

  • What a lie it was from NBC to have written that.

  • It was a total lie.

  • >> We are surrounded on all sides with people

  • who are fired up and angry.

  • >> Third-rate reporter, remember that, third rate.

  • Third rate.

  • >> And they're whipped up by Donald Trump.

  • I described it as like, you know, an unchained beast

  • roaring at you in a crowd.

  • And the whole... the whole place turns at me, looks at me,

  • and boos.

  • (cheers)

  • >> NARRATOR: By July, Donald Trump headed

  • to the G.O.P. convention after soundly defeating

  • the establishment candidates.

  • >> Let's face it, he was larger than the Republican Party.

  • In fact, his nomination was the hostile takeover

  • of the Republican Party.

  • In this case the Republican Party is just a vehicle to get

  • his name on the ballot.

  • But his reach was always greater

  • than the Republican Party's reach.

  • >> NARRATOR: He had won the nomination

  • of a divided Republican Party.

  • Now he would see if he could apply the same strategy

  • to winning the presidency of a divided country.

  • >> Our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation.

  • The attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities

  • threaten our very way of life.

  • >> But I think the essential message there was, you have been

  • neglected and abused by the powers that be,

  • whether they are politicians

  • or the media or academia, or Hollywood.

  • All of those folks are conspiring against you,

  • the good, right-thinking middle Americans.

  • >> I have joined the political arena

  • so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people

  • who cannot defend themselves.

  • (cheers and applause)

  • Nobody knows the system better than me.

  • (laughter and applause)

  • Which is why I alone can fix it.

  • >> He just said, "Me.

  • "I'm the only person that can do this.

  • You have to support me."

  • That's the language of a strongman.

  • That's the language that you hear in autocratic societies.

  • (cheering)

  • >> I had at least five reporters approach me and say,

  • "Didn't you think Trump's speech was too dark?"

  • And I told them all, "No, I think the country

  • "is in deep trouble.

  • "We're in very dire times.

  • "And to pussyfoot around that and claim things are great

  • "is a mistake.

  • And we need a strongman."

  • >> Hillary!

  • Hillary! Hillary!

  • >> And so, my friends...

  • >> NARRATOR: Just one week later,

  • at the Democratic Convention, Hillary Clinton accepted

  • her party's nomination.

  • >> That I accept your nomination

  • for president of the United States!

  • >> NARRATOR: Clinton's strategy

  • was to draw on Obama's legacy and bet big on diversity.

  • >> This is a time of change for America and it's a time

  • to take stock and reaffirm the values

  • that we hold as Americans.

  • And that meant embracing the diversity.

  • >> Please welcome Khizr Khan.

  • >> NARRATOR: One moment turned out to be the centerpiece

  • of their efforts--

  • a speech by the father of a Muslim American soldier

  • killed in combat.

  • >> If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been

  • in America.

  • Donald Trump consistently smears the character

  • of Muslims.

  • He disrespects other minorities,

  • women, judges, even his own party leadership.

  • >> I don't think anybody or very few people who were planning

  • the convention thought simply that moment alone

  • would be as powerful as it was.

  • >> Donald Trump: Have you even read

  • the United States Constitution?

  • (cheers and applause)

  • I will... I will gladly lend you my copy.

  • >> NARRATOR: As he watched Khan's speech, Trump saw

  • an opportunity to go on the attack.

  • >> I was viciously attacked by Mr. Khan

  • at the Democratic Convention.

  • >> And his advisors thought this was not a good idea.

  • He shouldn't have done it.

  • But Donald Trump just can't help himself.

  • >> Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me

  • from the stage of the D.N.C.

  • and is now all over TV doing the same.

  • Nice!

  • >> The Khan episode illustrates Donald's major flaw,

  • is he can't let something go and he can't notice

  • that he's losing a fight until he's really lost it.

  • >> Now on "This Week"...

  • >> He went after Khan's wife, Gazal.

  • >> If you look at his wife, she was standing there.

  • She had nothing to say.

  • She probably... maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say.

  • You tell me, but plenty of people have written that.

  • >> Amid mounting backlash over Trump's comments,

  • his campaign went into damage control mode.

  • >> NARRATOR: Veterans groups were outraged.

  • >> At least two new polls show Hillary Clinton

  • with a widening lead over Trump.

  • >> NARRATOR: As Trump's poll numbers collapsed...

  • >> Republicans in particular have been quick to respond...

  • >> NARRATOR: Republican leaders further distanced themselves.

  • >> Republican Senator John McCain offered

  • a scathing rebuke...

  • >> And his advisors are horrified.

  • I mean, this is like... this is political suicide.

  • And, um, they say to Trump, you know,

  • "You know you just attacked a Gold Star family."

  • And he said, "Well, what's that?"

  • Trump just sees it as a personal attack and it's within his right

  • to go on the counterattack.

  • >> Trump's ongoing battle

  • with the family of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan...

  • >> NARRATOR: Virtually all the professionals expected Trump

  • to change his tactics, to pivot.

  • >> Everybody always wanted to mold Mr. Trump

  • into their own image of what a candidate should look like,

  • what a president should look like.

  • And if there's one thing that wasn't going to change

  • about Mr. Trump was that he was going to stay true to himself,

  • you know, whatever that means, and that...

  • that if he was going to win this campaign, he was going to do it

  • on his own terms.

  • >> NARRATOR: With barely 80 days before the election,

  • Trump shook up his campaign and brought in Steve Bannon,

  • the chairman of the right-wing website Breitbart.

  • >> Bannon is a bomb thrower.

  • Bannon joins the campaign because Bannon has

  • a superior knowledge of alternative media

  • combined with the fact that he is kind of a swashbuckler

  • and a revolutionary, a guy who can think outside the box.

  • >> NARRATOR: It was a sign Trump was doubling down.

  • >> Steve Bannon has made very clear

  • all through his recent career, his goal is to blow up

  • the establishment.

  • It's to take down the government as we know it.

  • It's to destroy the Republican Party as it was constituted.

  • I mean, he is a disrupter in, you know,

  • in almost every way.

  • >> NARRATOR: As his new campaign manager,

  • another unconventional pick: a pollster, Kellyanne Conway,

  • who had bad news for Trump.

  • >> On that day, I told him, I said, "What's going on?

  • "Because you're running against the most joyless candidate

  • "in presidential political history

  • and this place is starting to seem like it."

  • And he said, "No."

  • And I said, "I've looked at the polls."

  • He said, "the polls."

  • And I said, "I've looked at the polls and we're losing.

  • But we don't need to lose, you should be winning."

  • >> Trump is hoping to finally put that controversy behind him.

  • >> NARRATOR: They faced a formidable challenge.

  • >> NARRATOR: The first presidential debate.

  • >> As Trump and Clinton get ready to go head to head...

  • >> What will likely be the most watched political showdown

  • in American history...

  • >> NARRATOR: As he had throughout his campaign,

  • Trump was willing to gamble-- he'd rely on his instincts,

  • not preparation.

  • >> There's actually a point of pride

  • that he doesn't have to prepare.

  • He values raw ability over study.

  • So he wanted to prove that he was right about that.

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump mocked Clinton for spending

  • so much of her time preparing for the debate.

  • >> You know, you've seen me, I've been all over the place.

  • You decided to stay home, and that's okay.

  • >> Arguably he was the worst prepared candidate

  • in the history of American politics

  • when he stepped up against Hillary Clinton

  • for that first debate, and it showed.

  • >> I think Donald just criticized me

  • for preparing for this debate.

  • And, yes, I did.

  • And you know what else I prepared for?

  • I prepared to be president.

  • And I think that's a good thing.

  • >> She knew how to get under his skin.

  • She had been practicing.

  • She had been studying him.

  • >> Donald thinks that climate change is a hoax

  • perpetrated by the Chinese.

  • I think it's real.

  • I think science is real.

  • >> I do not... I did not... I do not say that.

  • >> Her team knew what were his...

  • knew what his buttons were.

  • And she just started unleashing them one after the other.

  • >> You call yourself the King of Debt.

  • You talk about leverage.

  • You even at one time suggested that you would try

  • to negotiate down the...

  • >> Wrong.

  • >> ...national debt of the United States.

  • >> Wrong.

  • >> And he lost... he lost control of the debate.

  • >> Let me say this...

  • >> There's nothing crazy about not letting our companies

  • bring their money back into their country.

  • >> This is... this is Secretary Clinton's two minutes, please.

  • >> I have a feeling that by the end of this evening

  • I'm going to be blamed for everything that's ever happened.

  • >> Why not?

  • >> Why not, yeah.

  • Why not?

  • >> Hillary Clinton was very artful in getting

  • under Mr. Trump's skin

  • and bringing up the issues

  • that were like putting, you know, gasoline on a fire.

  • >> One of the worst things he said was about a woman

  • in a beauty contest.

  • And, he called this woman "Miss Piggy."

  • Then he called her "Miss Housekeeping,"

  • because she was Latina.

  • Donald, she has a name.

  • >> Where did you find this?

  • Where did you find this?

  • Where did you find it?

  • >> Her name is Alicia Machado and she has become

  • a U.S. citizen and you can bet she's going to vote

  • this November.

  • >> Oh really?

  • Okay, okay, good.

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump would insist he had won.

  • >> ...our debate for this evening.

  • >> He was crushed in the first debate.

  • I don't care whatever pronouncements he wants to make.

  • He was crushed by every possible...

  • Our focus group thought he was awful.

  • >> ...down in Palm Beach.

  • I moved on her and I failed.

  • I'll admit it.

  • >> NARRATOR: It would get even worse for Trump.

  • >> NARRATOR: Just two days before the second debate,

  • an un-aired video from the TV show Access Hollywood.

  • >> There was one account after another about Donald Trump

  • attacking women, groping women, saying nasty things about women.

  • But the moment that counts is the moment this is on video.

  • >> Here's a guy who's making crude, disgusting jokes

  • and the father in you,

  • the brother in you comes out, and the husband in you.

  • And you can't defend it.

  • >> The Trump camp has swiftly launched into disaster mode...

  • >> A big, big development in this campaign as it comes to...

  • >> Right after that tape came out,

  • suddenly everybody on the Trump team went radio silent.

  • Everyone.

  • >> This was the October surprise.

  • Had the ability to take down a campaign.

  • And the internal discussion amongst the campaign, some were,

  • "You need to apologize immediately,"

  • and some were "You need to double down."

  • >> Donald Trump's campaign, its worst crisis ever.

  • >> We keep being told, "He is going to come on TV.

  • "He is going to say something.

  • He is going to apologize."

  • And it gets delayed and delayed.

  • And finally he comes out there and it's an apology of sorts.

  • >> I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended

  • to be someone that I'm not.

  • I've said and done things I regret,

  • and the words released today

  • on this more than a decade-old video

  • are one of them.

  • >> And so he went on Facebook later that night

  • and gave what was, by Trump's standards, a contrite apology.

  • But then he went on the attack.

  • >> Bill Clinton has actually abused women,

  • and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed

  • and intimidated his victims.

  • >> I think Trump being Trump,

  • his only instinct in those moments when his back

  • is against the wall is to just go on the counter-attack.

  • >> We will discuss this more in the coming days.

  • See you at the debate on Saturday.

  • >> I think with the exception of maybe one or two people,

  • everyone thought that that was the end.

  • How do you survive this?

  • How do you survive this?

  • As a Republican, how do you survive advocating or saying

  • you're allowed to grab women in their private parts

  • because you're a star?

  • That is just not something that anybody can survive.

  • >> I think the question now is,

  • how do Republicans down the ballot break away from him?

  • >> NARRATOR: The next day he appeared outside Trump Tower.

  • To many it seemed like his candidacy was over.

  • >> I called Trump the day after Access Hollywood.

  • And I ask him point blank, "Are you going to quit the race?"

  • That's what was on everyone's minds.

  • And he says, "Costa, I've lived life.

  • "I've seen so much in my life,

  • "business, personal, this is nothing.

  • "I've survived everything else.

  • I'm going to survive this."

  • And I kept asking him, "Are you going to quit the race?"

  • "There's no chance I quit," he said.

  • "Not one chance.

  • I am in this to the end."

  • (cheering)

  • >> NARRATOR: Donald Trump, undaunted, then headed

  • to the second presidential debate.

  • >> He showed up, and he was impervious to the naysayers

  • and critics who were all trying to push him out of the race.

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump had a surprise of his own

  • just before the debate was to begin.

  • >> Next thing I know-- and no one in the press knew

  • this was happening-- there was a press conference

  • with all Bill Clinton's accusers right before the debate.

  • >> These four very courageous women have asked to be here...

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump had invited four women to the debate,

  • women who had accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing.

  • Charges the Clinton's had denied.

  • >> There was widespread shock.

  • Nobody had it beforehand.

  • >> The genius part of Donald Trump was he didn't announce

  • these women were coming.

  • He just had them at a table and said,

  • "The media's welcome to come in right before the debate."

  • And the media was stunned.

  • Because the media couldn't fathom

  • doing something like this.

  • >> NARRATOR: Standing in the back of the room,

  • the man who had orchestrated the event: Steve Bannon.

  • >> Mr. Trump may have said some bad words,

  • but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me.

  • I don't think there's any comparison.

  • >> It was to show America that he believed certain things

  • about the Clintons that many Americans also believe.

  • And that he was going to stand up for them

  • against the Clintons

  • in a way that was so tough and really so ruthless

  • that it gave some satisfaction to people who hate the Clintons.

  • >> Okay. Thank you all very much.

  • We appreciate it.

  • >> By bringing the accusers to the debate, he put that issue

  • front and center and forced voters out there to remember,

  • in a sense, what it is that they didn't like

  • about Hillary Clinton.

  • (applause)

  • >> NARRATOR: This time on the debate stage, Trump stayed

  • on the offensive.

  • >> We have a divided nation, because people like her.

  • And believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart.

  • She's got tremendous hatred and this country cannot take

  • another four years of Barack Obama

  • and that's what you're getting with her.

  • >> I don't think there was any moment in the campaign

  • in which there was a more divergent interpretation

  • among political professionals and members

  • of Trump's vast and growing army of supporters.

  • >> When you talk about apology,

  • I think the one that you should really be apologizing for

  • and the thing that you should be apologizing for

  • are the 33,000 emails that you deleted,

  • and that you acid washed.

  • >> Hillary Clinton, who is clearly much more measured

  • and programmed than Trump.

  • On the other hand, he's so much more of a live wire,

  • that by contrast she seems overly programmed.

  • >> Allow her to respond, please.

  • >> Personal emails, not official.

  • >> 33,000?

  • >> Well, we turned over 35,000, so...

  • >> Oh yeah, what about the other 15,000?

  • >> Please allow her to respond,

  • she didn't talk while you talked.

  • >> Yes, that's true, I didn't.

  • >> Because you had nothing to say.

  • >> I didn't in the first debate and I'm going to try not...

  • >> He's mocked for this during and after the debate,

  • kind of stalking around that debate, kind of stalking her.

  • He's, you know, ridiculed for suggesting that he's going

  • to put her in jail.

  • >> If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general

  • to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation,

  • because there has never been so many lies, so much deception,

  • there has never been anything like it.

  • >> When he looked her straight in the eye and said that,

  • "There should be a commission to study the crimes you've done."

  • And to my surprise my focus group said, "Absolutely."

  • Even those who supported Hillary Clinton want to see

  • these candidates held accountable.

  • >> We have to move on, Secretary Clinton you can respond,

  • but we've got to move on.

  • >> We want to give the audience a chance here.

  • >> So, for what the media saw

  • as Third World dictatorial politics, our voters saw

  • as one candidate holding the other candidate accountable.

  • >> It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament

  • of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.

  • >> Because you'd be in jail.

  • (applause)

  • >> We want to remind the audience to please not talk

  • out loud, please do not applaud, you're just wasting time.

  • >> When I speak, I go out and speak,

  • the people of this country are furious...

  • >> He was speaking the language of the American people.

  • That he was holding Hillary Clinton accountable.

  • You wouldn't know that if you lived in New York

  • or Los Angeles, but you would know that

  • if you were doing focus groups in Columbus, Ohio,

  • in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

  • >> NARRATOR: Back out on the campaign trail

  • Trump's anti-establishment message continued to resonate.

  • >> And we are going to drain the swamp.

  • We're going to drain the swamp.

  • We're going to drain the swamp, folks.

  • >> That was how Donald Trump started out the campaign.

  • >> We're going to drain that swamp.

  • >> By saying things that were anathema

  • to the establishment, but that had resonance

  • in the base of support that he was able to cobble together.

  • >> Build the wall!

  • Build the wall! Build the wall!

  • >> Yes, maybe he has offended me, and maybe he's offensive,

  • but I'm still out of work.

  • I'm still mad that people are pouring over the borders.

  • And I'm still mad that ISIS is still attacking people

  • all over the globe.

  • And you know what, I'm just going to stick with him.

  • >> NARRATOR: With time running out, Trump's chances of winning

  • still seemed slim.

  • But the race would be shaken up by an unlikely source:

  • Wikileaks.

  • >> Breaking news here.

  • Wikileaks is about to release "significant material"

  • tied to Hillary Clinton.

  • >> The campaign is doing damage control tonight

  • after Wikileaks releases more...

  • >> NARRATOR: Tens of thousands of private emails

  • from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were released.

  • >> There are some embarrassing details...

  • >> This was a daily phenomenon.

  • >> Both at home and abroad in all of this...

  • >> It was a constant, uh, you know, pain to our campaign.

  • >> ...flood of emails suggest that in private

  • her advisors like to tee off on everyone,

  • from Catholics to Latinos and Southerners...

  • >> NARRATOR: Day after day, the stories continued.

  • >> That she couldn't convey a clear message to voters...

  • >> It was incredibly damaging,

  • because every day there were bad stories coming out.

  • And they could be perfectly timed.

  • >> Robby Mook lashed out writing,

  • "Wow, what a terrorist."

  • >> It was anxiety provoking.

  • You just don't know what's going to come out on any day.

  • And that you're going to have to deal with that.

  • >> More than 2,000 emails...

  • They claim they came from her...

  • >> NARRATOR: The first emails began to trickle out

  • less than an hour after the Access Hollywood video.

  • >> The Access Hollywood tape was a big surge

  • but then, you know, after it had run 400 times

  • on television it fell off.

  • The Podesta emails kept getting dribbled out

  • news cycle after news cycle

  • after news cycle, and it lives forever.

  • >> NARRATOR: There were media reports

  • that intelligence agencies believed the leaks

  • were orchestrated by Russia.

  • But that didn't seem to bother Trump.

  • >> Wikileaks is amazing.

  • The stuff that's coming out.

  • It shows she's a real liar.

  • This Wikileaks stuff is unbelievable,

  • it tells you the inner heart, you got to read it.

  • Wikileaks, I love WikiLeaks.

  • >> NARRATOR: After the election,

  • intelligence agencies would go further, concluding

  • that the leaks were part of a larger campaign

  • ordered by Russian president Vladimir Putin

  • to help elect Donald Trump.

  • >> It was cyber mixed with information warfare

  • and the press, the New York Times included,

  • became the handmaiden to the process,

  • because these emails couldn't be ignored as news.

  • They were newsy. They were out there.

  • It's not like you could ignore it and not write about it.

  • But in writing about it,

  • you're doing the work that Vladimir Putin had in mind.

  • >> NARRATOR: Then in the final days as Hillary Clinton

  • struggled to hold onto her lead, another crisis.

  • >> An L.A. Times reporter came up

  • to our traveling press secretary, Nick Merrill,

  • and said, "Hey, have you heard anything about some reopening

  • of the investigation by the F.B.I.?"

  • >> I kept thinking this can't be, this has to be a mistake.

  • It's got to be referring to something else.

  • >> NARRATOR: The F.B.I. director, James Comey,

  • was resuming an investigation of Clinton's personal email server.

  • >> And I just remember this pit in my stomach

  • and really worrying

  • that this could change the game completely,

  • in a, you know, in a potentially lethal way.

  • >> NARRATOR: Mook and Palmieri briefed Clinton.

  • >> When I went to tell her, I said, "I've got some news."

  • And she said, "Okay, what's your news?"

  • And I said, "It's bad news."

  • So, um, she said, "Okay, what's the bad news?"

  • And so I told her.

  • And she said, "I knew we weren't going three weeks

  • without something else hitting us."

  • >> That pit in my stomach, you know, I'll never forget

  • that feeling, that, um, we just got smacked

  • by a two-by-four and it came out of nowhere.

  • >> NARRATOR: Donald Trump immediately seized on the news.

  • >> I need to open

  • with a very critical breaking news announcement.

  • (crowd cheering)

  • The F.B.I. has just sent a letter to Congress,

  • informing them that they have discovered

  • new emails pertaining to the former secretary of state,

  • Hillary Clinton's, investigation.

  • (crowd cheering)

  • >> Lock her up!

  • Lock her up! Lock her up!

  • (cheering continues)

  • >> And they are reopening the case into her criminal

  • and illegal conduct that threatens

  • the security of the United States of America.

  • (crowd shouting)

  • >> To win you need a few breaks.

  • The F.B.I. announcement was such a break,

  • certainly not controlled by the Trump campaign,

  • but it really did throw all the cards up in the air

  • at a pivotal time.

  • >> We are going to drain the swamp.

  • >> NARRATOR: For the next week and a half...

  • >> We are going to re-negotiate...

  • >> NARRATOR: Trump traveled the country

  • building on that momentum.

  • >> And we will keep radical Islamic terrorists...

  • >> NARRATOR: Staying on message...

  • >> ...the hell out...

  • >> NARRATOR: Off Twitter...

  • >> We will build a great wall.

  • >> NARRATOR: Inside his campaign they hoped it would be enough.

  • >> And we will make America great again.

  • >> It was the first time that Mr. Trump was relatively

  • scandal-free at that point.

  • A lot of things had gone away.

  • Secretary Clinton was in the spotlight by herself.

  • And we saw a spike in numbers

  • that were just uncommon for anything that we've seen before.

  • That was really the catalyst for the roll, the snowball effect

  • that continued to happen till Election Day.

  • >> NARRATOR: In the final days of the campaign,

  • he solidified the Republican base and in rally after rally,

  • he tried to win over voters in the heart of the blue wall,

  • states a Republican hadn't won in a generation.

  • >> In all these steel towns that have carcasses of factories,

  • buildings where they used to have molten metal, no more.

  • But you know what was there?

  • Trump signs.

  • >> Today is decision day in America and we are taking a look

  • at the presidential race...

  • >> After a long, contentious presidential race

  • we are near the end...

  • >> Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida

  • with its 29 electoral...

  • >> Donald Trump has won the state of Wisconsin,

  • and there goes her blue wall.

  • >> This means that Donald Trump will be the 45th president

  • of the United States.

  • >> NARRATOR: As a candidate, he had broken all the rules.

  • Now in the White House, he promises to do the same.

  • >> You guys need to get used to it that there is no pivot,

  • that there is no normal, and the fact that there is no normal

  • is the new normal.

  • The only thing that is predictable

  • is the unpredictability of Washington, D.C.,

  • from this point forward.

  • So get used to it.

  • Buckle your seat belts, sit back, because it is going to be

  • a wild ride.

  • >> From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

  • >> On the front line of Iraq's fight against ISIS.

  • >> The distance between war and civilian life
