The Art of the Surge: The Donald Trump Comeback

Real, raw, behind the scene footage of President Trump and his campaign from the assassination attempts to his return to Butler PA. I watched all 6 episodes in one day. One of the best documentaries I have seen to date. It truly made me proud to be an American and to see so many influential people get behind our 45th and 47th President of the United States. Even if you disagree with his position, this documentary shows his true character and fight for our great country. I look forward to the continuation of this series. I hope they show all the way up to his election victory. Fight, fight, fight!

This documentary was fantastic. The production value was exquisite. To see the well oiled machine that ran this campaign was amazing. To relive July 13 was unbelievable. The way it was filmed you felt like you were there. To show this side of Trump is amazing. It shows is the complete opposite of how he is portrayed in the media. The real voters and the love they have for this man came out in every episode. Being in his late seventies the energy level is absolutely unbelievable. Despite people thinking he's, "it's my way or the highway," it's the complete opposite. He's also surrounded by tons of young people.

Great behind-the-scenes look through the Trump campaign. Very well edited and produced. The documentary offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the campaign, highlighting key moments and strategies that shaped its course. The interviews and footage provide an in-depth understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the team.

In episode 6 in this series, they go into detail about the day they returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally after the assassination attempt on Trump. The coverage of the event is thorough, capturing the tension and determination of the team as they navigated the heightened security and emotional aftermath. Overall, it's a compelling watch for anyone interested in political campaigns and media production.

Watched it and despite them claiming its raw footage, I wouldn't consider this a documentary to be doing the justice that documentaries need to be doing.

While I'm not stating that Trump's campaign didn't have it's hardships for his team, this is obviously an an attempt at reshaping people's perspective of how the election went and continue hyping his fanbase before the inaguration. It is also attempting to reshape people's perspective of Trump too. Take this documentary with a grain of salt (like every documentaries that have an inherent bias.) This was backed by Tucker Carlson, which is an automatic red flag due to the fact he helped him campaign. As he has been known as a man who spreads misinformation as much as possible. Fox News fired him after all.

I'll say it like it is: This is an ego stroke.

However, I will say it was intersting to be taken into the world of Trump and to finally see how he sees himself and his team. No wonder they feel on top of the world right now.

From a purely form artistic opinion: The video footage is incredibly interesting. I get it is meant to show the 'raw' footage of the campaign, but it looks weirdly blurry in some places. And not in the 'this is raw footage' type blur, more like they were attempting to...make it seem more realistics? It reminds me of when movies attempt to have those 'real' moments in an obviously fictional setting. There is also heavy saturation used throughout the documentary. It's extremely hard on the eyes.

TLDR; Eh. Not the best documentary by any means. However it is comprehensive on the campaign and gives good insight of the players in modern day politics--so I give them that. Truly shows how misinformation spreads and how it spreads quickly.
