VIDEO: The Long Road to the White House (1980 – 2015)

This video done by Chris Emerson captures the statements made by Donald J. Trump from 1980 to his decision to run for the Republican nomination for President in 2015.

Emerson writes:

I know a lot of other videos out there have some of these clips in them (some far more artfully done by the way! ) … but I wanted one with ALL of them spliced together chronologically because I think the story they tell is really fascinating and inspiring. Whatever you choose to believe or not on what the media reports about him in 2016, weigh that against Mr. Trump’s own words from interviews going back 30+ years.
