Trump’s new gilded
age:
fearmongering,
mass deportations and self-enrichment
video
The Guardian 5 August 2025
The Guardian’s
Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone travel to southern Florida,
home not only to
some of president Trump’s vast sources of personal wealth,
including his
beach club, Mar-a-Lago,
but also one of
the epicenters of his mass deportation program,
‘Alligator
Alcatraz’.
At a Turning Point
student action summit
—an annual
gathering targeted at gen Z conservatives—
Laughland meets
the Republican strategist Steve Bannon,
and asks him what
he makes of Trump’s brazen efforts
to monetise the
presidency.
