Dateline follows the path from his millionaire upbringing to business successes, and failures.
He was not there for the purposes of making friends, he had to get marks, he needed to please his parents, former classmate Peter Ticktin says on Tuesday's Dateline.
He has fond memories of Trump from their time at a military academy in New York, but no doubt that he was destined for leadership.

Donald Trump, when he was here in the city, offered a lot of hope, but he took the hope away, says Bill Southrey, whos head of the rescue mission that now provides a soup kitchen serving many former employees.Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime, theyre rapists, he says of Mexicans, and tells another crowd of supporters in South Carolina that hell build a 2,000 kilometre wall along the border.Hes also put up barriers between himself and the media with little access at highly stage-managed events, but Dateline still manages to get revealing insights from those closest to him.
