    It's in point

    Many of the things he's shown saying are disgusting. Also some of the things he says are things his supporters deny him having said. I really thought there would be more to this film. But it's only trump spewing insults. That is on point with the title.

    It's really funny! Worth your time.

    I love politicians like this! It demonstrates that I can relate to him, and he to me. Even if President Trump was a Dem, I would find this movie entertaining.

    I despise the life-long career politicians like we see just taking up space, with *both* parties! This movie shows us the alternative to the trough.

    Viewer numbers for the 2016 debates and primary (which this focuses on) indicates that no other prior political event came even close to these. Highly entertaining! A similar movie/documentary couldn't be made about any politician after President Lincoln.

    I look forward to the sequel, after the 2020 election!

    Thought The Title Was A Parody

    It was a shock to me after watching this to find out it wasn't meant to showcase how terrible of a human being Donald Trump is. When I went to the film's website and read the director's Q&A and realized he actually meant this to show Trump in a positive light, it was eye-opening (and disappointing)! I am a former staunch Republican supporter, who in the past few years - after leaving a (different) cult, has come to realize just how terrible Trump and the Republican party really is. It's amazing to me that people can watch this and still think Trump was a good thing to happen to America. I understand how people can fall for his shenanigans, having fallen for it myself at one point, but to still be someone who supports him after all he's done, that's just sad. As far as the quality of this documentary, the music and visual effects feel like Trump (or a child) put them together... they're so bad (like Four Seasons Total Landscaping bad). It makes more sense after realizing a Trump supported was behind it though! I would still recommend this to people who are able to critically think, so they can see a nice compilation of the worst of Trump. There was one part where I laughed, and that was when Trump made the "Pardon Me" joke about Hillary (which I doubt he wrote, but still). I dislike Hillary (still), but I dislike Trump even more now. America lost what little respect it had from the rest of the world, and it's sad that Trump supporters would just say "who cares" (or just deny it) in response. A bunch of children. So glad Biden (who I'm also not a fan of) won 2020. Trump and his supporters really showcased the worst of America for the past four years and it was painful to watch, just like this documentary.

    ONLY DISGUSTING ACTS WITHOUT TRUE MEANING

    This movie is only a lot of short scenes of Trump talking/acting very nasty changing very fast without pause or any kind of analysis by a third person, so you can only see the entire movie if you are a true Trump lover or like to see people behaving very bad by such long time (1h35m).

    For me this movie only serves to prove that something was actually said/done by one person, once he's of the kind that often says he didn't said/did something that he really said/did.

    A movie to delight his electoral opponents.
