As Donald Trump takes charge of the world's most powerful nation we head back to the early 1980s when his goals were slightly more modest.



One of his ambitions was to own a sport franchise and he converted an NFL team. Unable to make this happen he purchased the New Jersey Generals American football team of the newly formed USFL. Within two years the league had collapsed and many blame Trump for its demise.



We hear from some of those involved with the USFL and the team including Trump’s right hand man at the Generals, Jimmy Gould.
