Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time

I've watched "the circus - the greatest etc..." from day one.

It ended before election day with the presenters effectively saying they'd eat their hats if trump got elected.

what an anti-climax.

Subsequently Heilemann and Halperin and their show "with all due respect" were dropped by bloomberg during a changing of the guard.

I was gutted ... where was the follow up? Where were they eating their hats (figuratively)? I'm half way through this 'finale' because I'm savouring watching the second half.

I only wish the brits had done a similar show on brexit - they probably will in time.

My only criticism is that there is too much cursing by Heilemann which he must think is either cool or acceptable.

It's an insult to Fox, CBS, CNN, etc., to call the material in "Trumped" unprecedented. And the slant is clearly anti-Trump. Virulently so.

Still, there's a lot of good news footage and some excellent interview material here. Nice piece of history, once we reach the point where the 2016 election isn't a just-gone-by current event.

Too bad no effort was put into the reason the election came out the way it did. The obvious bias of the hosts/moderators is another drawback. There didn't seem to be even an attempt to explain the why of the outcome, just the disbelief of the non-winners.

I won't comment on the politics that other reviewers did. That belongs on Facebook, not here.

This captures the excitement of the campaign. I love how they used music to heighten the drama. The film captured how angry half of America was. And the end captured the poignant sadness that the democrats had at the outcome and the joy that Trump voters had.

The only thing I'd change would be to cut some of the middle part which showed the long campaign. That was repetitive and probable only interesting to political wonks.

I watched the series The Circus. This is a nice ending to that series. It wraps up the crazy election.

Trumped is an inside look at how Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States. Or as I personally like to call it: how our country elected a clown lol. Whether you supported Clinton or Trump in the November election doesn't really matter when watching this documentary. Yes the men doing it have a pretty clear liberal lean to them, but hey everyone has opinions. With me having supported Clinton in the election, it was interesting to see exactly how it all happened. Because believe me, I was beyond shocked at the result that night, I fully expected to see a Hillary Clinton win, but the pollsters were all wrong, that's not what we got. The documentary is well filmed, with real live footage of rallies, interviews with both campaign managers, Mook and Conway, and talks with other media people about what they expected the result to be. I liked the pacing and the very thorough explaining of everything as the film covered it. If you want to find out more about exactly how this shocking, very unconventional past election cycle happened, then I suggest this movie. Or maybe you have very young children right now and one day when they're older they want to learn more about the 2016 election, I'd say this movie is a good way to educate them.

Despite the fragile butt-hurt feelings of interviewers Halperin and Heilemann, Trump is obviously the right man for the times. Sometimes one needs to break a few heads, and conventional wisdoms to make an omelet. A HUGE, beautiful, winning bigly omelet. And, as Halperin, Heilemann and McKinnon indicate, while nobody expected a moose-turd omelet for breakfast, that IS what was ordered. Shut-up and eat it.

Obama broke the 'white ceiling'. HRC broke the 'glass ceiling' (by being the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US political party). Now the tremendous Donald J. Trump has broken the 'rubber ceiling'.

He has given inspiration to mental defectives everywhere to live their dreams of world domination. No more play-acting out your jerk-water fantasies in a padded room with action figures. Shed your straight jackets and fully realize your wildest alternative realities! The election of this fabulous Reality TV star has shown the low I.Q. populace that if you pool your resources with other intellectually challenged sociopaths, there's no limit to what you can't imagine to have accomplished. The future is as bright as your tinfoil hat!
