Trump: An American Dream

Although I really liked the historical perspective given on Trump, the producers tipped their hand as to how they wanted to portray him by only including people who have a negative view of him. Too bad they could not just report the facts or include people who have a positive view of him...which there are millions. In the end though I think the viewer can only admire the persona of the guy as a truly American original. The good and the bad of who we are as a people!

Trump is good at what he does. He is not afraid to do the things that most of us would never dream of. He wanted to invest in New York real estate in the mid 1970's but he needed massive tax cuts to afford his property. What does he do? Hires the lawyer for the head of the five NY crime families. Suddenly - he gets the city to cut him tax breaks for seemingly any investment. That act began his momentum that would go through many highs and lows but end up as the 45th President of the United States. Love him or hate him - he is not stupid but he will most likely rip you off.

Let me just say, this is NOT a feel good Trump series. Definitely a hit piece, be prepared. What I loved about this series is the same thing I Loved about the book The Art of the Deal. They both prove that Donald J Trump is and always has been exactly the same man. Has always thought the same way, spoke the same way, dressed the same way, had the same hand motions (fist pump in the air), same optimism and same vision. He takes after his mom in the way he speaks and he shares her unwavering faith that all will be great. Therefore, those who aren't fans today might try learning by reading the books. A note about the music: I didn't notice any music at all until Ep 4. Man, is it depressing doom music. And it goes on & on, like the Death Doom third "Ding-Dong" in Christmas Vacation, only over and over and over again. Really obvious and way over done.

I was wondering if it's be a full scope of donald trump of just more left rhetoric. it starts off unbiased to rope you in but quickly become a savage documentary to demonize trump.

Anyone familiar with this topic BEFORE 2011 won't consider it a 'hit piece'. It'll be a historical record. I followed him since the early 80's. At the time, I'd never seen anyone who continually referred to himself in third person. Plus, if I'd spoken of others the way he did, my parents would have... um... disciplined me until I demonstrated actual social skills.
