Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig join Morning Joe to discuss their new book, “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,” which provides the history of former President Trump’s wealth and reveals how one of the country’s biggest business failures lied his way into the White House. “Some of the tales in the book are so glaringly obvious as to Trump’s character or lack of character,” says Morning Joe veteran columnist Mike Barnicle. “One of them is he’s at the military academy, and it’s time for the class picture to be taken, and Donald has earned maybe one or two good conduct medals that would be flashed on his uniform when the photo was taken, but he has another idea for that day.” Watch this segment to find out how Trump attempted to alter and advance his own personal history in that telling moment.
