The FRONTLINE Interviews

Trump’s Comeback

Our Sources. On the Record. At Your Fingertips.

To produce Trump’s Comeback, the FRONTLINE team drew on nearly a decade of reporting on Donald Trump, and conducted seven new interviews with journalists as well as current and former Trump advisers. Collectively, they tell the story of a lifetime of setbacks and victories that led to Trump’s greatest comeback in the 2024 presidential election. The interviews can be explored below in video or text. The collection is part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, which makes our source material available to the public.
