Episode 197: Trump and His Wall Street and Silicon Valley Enablers

Morning Meeting

This week, Alessandra Stanley explains why prominent tech and finance tycoons are giving piles of money to Donald Trump—and why their behavior might be similar to that of certain German bankers and industrialists in the 1930s. Then Rachel Hodin joins us with her report on Rebecca Minkoff. For the past two decades she’s promoted herself as a designer and girlboss. Now she’s a Real Housewife. But as Rachel will tell us, behind Minkoff’s cultivated public image are rumors of a mismanaged business, dysfunctional professional behavior, and links to the Church of Scientology. Finally, Griffin Dunne has a new book out, The Friday Afternoon Club, an enchanting memoir about his friendship with Princess Leia, taking writing cues from his aunt, Joan Didion, and much, much more. He joins us to talk about his amazing life.
