UK documentary "The Mad World of Donald Trump" (2016)

One of the many interesting items in Channel 4's documentary, The Mad World of Donald Trump, is TV presenter Selina Scott's account of how Trump began sending her "extremely abusive" letters after she revealed that he wasn't as rich as he claimed (video above starts at interview with Scott).From The Daily Mail:

This ability to blag people into believing he was a commercial genius was most vividly illustrated in a helicopter ride we took over New York. Pointing to the Empire State Building, he told me he owned it.

'What all of it?' I asked.

'Yes, 100 per cent,' he replied.

Later, forgetting he had told me he wholly owned the building, he said he only owned 50 per cent of it which he then considerably reduced. It was the same story with the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City.

'It's wholly owned by me,' he said. 'Are you sure?' I asked. 'Well maybe 80 per cent,' he demurred. 'Are you quite sure?' I pressed. He replied: 'Well it's actually 50 per cent'

I showed both assertions in my film with many other inconsistencies with the telling soundtrack "It Ain't Necessarily So."

Trump went ballistic. Over many years he sent me a series of intimidating letters branding me 'sleazy, unattractive, obnoxious and boring.' He said I was 'totally uptight', and that I had begged him for a date. In his dreams!

This vicious tirade was often accompanied by fanzine newspaper cuttings which purported to show how much money he was making.
