I liked this a lot, and even as a Michael Moore fan, it's probably better than the compelling but somewhat flawed Fahrenheit 11/9. You're not going to find out much you don't already know, and I can see this being less useful for people who watched the tv series all the footage is from. But it's engaging and entertaining and kind of grim but also enlightening: I saw clips of Trump here that I hadn't seen before, and it kind of made me go: "huh, so that's the appeal." I mean it's not as important now that there's a 2020 election to worry about (and look, problems beyond that that are arguably more pressing), but it's a good political recap of how the USA got to the position it's been in since 2017, and so therefore kind of like a very well-done, feature length "previously on" segment for the tv show that is LIFE.
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!

The beginning of the movie when the focus was on the Republican primaries came across as relatively unbiased, but the coverage of the race after the conventions became completely unhinged. The blatant pro-Clinton bias of Halperin was bad enough but Heileman was absolutely insufferable.
Furthermore, most of the "news" clips were from CNN and MSNBC, two channels that don't practice responsible journalism. And like the MSM coverage during the campaign, little or no attention was paid to the many Clinton scandals or her poorly run campaign- just a brief mention of those leaked emails.
And the ending was pitiful - extensive coverage inside the Javits Center where Clinton was to have given a victory speech - the 3 "pundits" (especially Heileman) reacting with Snowflake-like disbelief at the outcome. I thought Heileman was going to start sobbing at any moment. Plus, attendees were filmed watching the developing election results on monitors tuned to the Clinton News Network. It's no wonder they were "stunned".
At the ending, we were supposed to feel sad and depressed (check out the melancholy ending theme music) about Trump's victory which is about what I expected from a channel like Showtime. It has some good moments, especially from early in the campaign, but after the conventions, the movie descends into blatant Democratic bias.
If you choose to watch this, you'll be thinking at the end, "Well, there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back." Unless, of course, you are interested in learning more about how out of touch liberals are these days.

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.
This turned out to be the best way of showing why Trump won. The entire #MSM couldn't have done more to help her win. The "experts" were brought to tears over the fact that she lost. They are so lost to cognitive dissonance that they STILL can't see that Trump won because the VOTERS see what the media, Hollywood, Washington DC did. Hillary Clinton was A TERRIBLE CANDIDATE and a worse human being. Here we are 3yrs later and the people that claimed POTUS wouldn't accept the outcome Still haven't accepted she lost!
