President Trump: The man who first told him to run

Donald Trump’s administration may be just a few weeks old, but his flirtations with the presidency go back decades.

In fact, a high-end carpenter in New Hampshire claims that he was the first to plant the seed in Mr Trump’s mind to run for the office - in 1988.

Rajini Vaidyanathan went to meet the man who says he was behind Mr Trump’s first foray into presidential politics.
