The hour special; will air Saturday night. April 9, at 8 p.m.

Fox calls it a "warts and all" portrait drawn from interviews with friends, family and supporters, and featuring an exclusive look at the candidate on the road as he makes his "assault on the political world," and gets pushback in return.

The warts include what Fox tabs Trump's self-inflicted damage, and the "and all" looks at the resistance from both ends of the political spectrum to the brash candidate.

The special will re-air on Sunday night, also at 8 p.m.
