Fred Trump, father and employer
Roy Cohn, attorney
Cindy Adams, gossip columnist, New York Post
Liz Smith, gossip columnist, New York Daily News
Barbara Walters, ABC correspondent (Ten Most Intriguing People)
Oprah Winfrey, television host
Larry King, television and radio host
Howard Stern, radio host
Rudolph Giuliani, politician, former NYC mayor
Mark Burnett, producer of The Apprentice
Kevin Reilly, NBC Entertainment president


These are the people who helped to promote and elevate Donald Trump from the time he was a nobody from Queens. Without their help, he may have remained a nebbish developer like Harry Helmsley. Yes, there were others who tried to warn the world (e.g., Ed Koch, Harry and Leona Helmsley, Anthony Weiner, et al) but Trump was too well known to have any negative impact.

1. I would add to that list:

Leslie Monves, the CBS Chairman who said that Trump might be bad for America, but he was good for CBS. Meaning CBS ratings and profits.

All of that free campaign advertising that the corporate media provided helped.

2. Appeasers

3. CNN, CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, All Media Outlets, National Enquirer, Putin, Russia, deplorables and more!

There are a ton of guilty enablers that brought this heinous creature to the oval office.

4. He was never a nobody. He was born a millionaire.

He wasn't raised in Jamaica Queens. He was raised in Jamaica Estates, Queens.

5. Being a member of the Lucky Sperm Club doesn't make you a "somebody" by itself.

His brothers, Fred Jr. and Robert, are footnotes in history.

7. Yeah there is a big difference between Jamaica and Jamaica Estates.

11. born on third base

and thinks he hit a triple

6. I have no problem with your list of people "elevating" him when he was in "entertainment"...

and he shoulda just stayed in his lane....that's the problem here. I mean Barbara Walters is an enabler...LOL??? The real enablers are these assholes that are around him now. Back then was just bullshit...and now it's very serious. Your list of people didn't go out grandstand and lie for him (with the exception of Ghouliani & Cohn of course). You are comparing apples and oranges (pun intended) in my opinion.

8. All of the poor people who have the idea that kissing up to rich folks

will somehow benefit them. ( i thought most of them might have learned this from the bush family).

That TV show from the 80s "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" (back in the days when we didn't have cable and you watched whatever). I recall him from that show. I knew it was a tacky person then and he has gotten better at it since then.

9. Oprah?...what was that?, 25 years ago?..include the doctor who delivered him

10. My point: it was incremental, not recently.

And it was 1988 for Oprah, almost 30 years ago.
