Production

In February 2005, American Broadcasting Company (ABC) announced plans for a then-untitled two-hour biographical television film about businessman Donald Trump that would chronicle the past 25 years of his business career and personal life. John David Coles, who had previously directed episodes of Desperate Housewives, was announced as the film's director.

Donald Trump, who starred in NBC's reality television series The Apprentice at the time, said he was surprised that NBC had not already made a television film based on his life. Trump further stated that he was flattered by ABC's new film and that he wanted it to be accurate.

Casting was underway in February 2005, with production potentially commencing in March 2005. An air date had not been set at that time. Katheryn Winnick was cast as Ivana Trump in late February 2005. Quinn Taylor, a senior vice president for ABC, said, "Donald Trump is the American version of royalty. He's probably one of the most fascinating and intriguing men certainly of my generation who has continually kept himself at the top of his game.

On March 17, 2005, it was announced that Justin Louis would portray Trump in the film, which was titled Ambition at that time. Lieberman said about Louis' casting: "I will tell you, we are blessed. Donald Trump had the most gorgeous hair as a young man. He had beautiful, beautiful hair. Certainly before we cast the role, we thought we would have to use a wig. ...

Filming took place in the Canadian city of Toronto. Scenes were also shot at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa. The film's production companies were Apollo ProMovie GMGH & Co. Filmproduktion KG, Barbara Lieberman Productions, and D. Lux – Di Bona Productions. A week before its broadcast, Trump said he would sue if the film contained inaccuracies.
