Summary

This is a shocking, heart-wrenching investigation into America's housing crisis and the modern-day robber barons who are making a fortune off the backs of the disenfranchised working and middle class - among them, Donald Trump and his inner circle. Two years before the housing market collapsed in 2008, Donald Trump looked forward to a crash: 'I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy,' he said. But our future president wasn't alone. While millions of Americans suffered financial loss, tycoons pounced to heartlessly seize thousands of homes - their profiteering made even easier because, as prize-winning investigative reporter Aaron Glantz reveals in 'Homewreckers', they often used taxpayer money - and the Obama administration's promise to cover their losses.
