Vindicating Trump

This is a movie well worth seeing with the Election drawing near. Dinesh D'Souza has made a movie, which tops the previous three. The use of actors to help tell the story of the Establishment's crackdown on the American people improves pacing. Casting Nick Searcy as a Democrat operative is a stroke of brilliance. The movie's dark humor is a welcome surprise. Some things could have been done better. John Wayne makes for a better Western hero than Clint Eastwood. There could have been some discussion about how deep state will be dealt with if Trump regains White House. Still an amazing film. Stay past the beginning of the closing credits.

Dinesh D'Souza has done it again. He's made another political film that will be loved by some and hated (and completely ignored) by others. It has his typical formula of mixing fact and what some might think is questionable information, wrapped up in a sensationalized story. The few movies I've seen of his do peek my interest even though I often wonder where is the proof. I do believe some of what he says is true and others I question mainly because they are so controversial. Since he doesn't prove his story beyond all doubt then it is hard to buy it all hook line and sinker. Since there will always be people who debunk or deny the validity of his facts he is always doubted. So, I take a wait and see approach. I hope future historians will shed light on the events of the last 20 some years with a less biased eye on both sides. However, even that I'm not wholly confident will ever happen. So...I wait and see. This film focused on Trump, mostly since 2015 to present, but there are a few references to before then. Unfortunately, I only heard things I already knew. There wasn't definitive proof offered. Even though I believe a lot of it I don't see anyone who doesn't believe these facts to be swayed at all. The storytelling format was "factual history" dramatized, as most of his other movies do, so it comes off as rather corny. In between the drama Dinesh acts as narrator and interviewer. There were some funny parts where I and others in the theater laughed. Since I already knew the information covered it did seem long. Probably won't see it again. Can't say I'll recommend it much because I know most people won't believe it and Dinesh can be polarizing. You either think he is a good investigator, historian and interviewer or you don't.

We really enjoyed this film as we do all of the D'Souza documentaries. He brings receipts. What made my jaw drop was just how insecure and easy to manipulate ballots. Was not ready to see how wide is the breach in the voting integrity wall. It's as wide open are our borders. We were riveted.

I see the rating feature here has been hijacked to drive ratings out the bottom, but the actual user reviews are very very good and insightful. D'Souza never fails to deliver, to support his claims with facts to be seen with the eye.

It's time to go back and see again his first documentary "America: What would the world do Without Her" to remember just why we fight so hard to keep her safe.

Tough to watch at times, due to the reality of the corruption and devisiveness we're seeing in our country. This documentary by Dinesh was well produced and included behind the scenes footage and information to give the viewer a clearer picture of what is happening with our elections and politics. Much actual footage was used to illustrate the corruption and frankly it was shocking to learn that anyone can order ballots to be printed and submitted. The only one who would think this was acceptable would be someone who wants to control the election outcome, vs respect the voice of the people. It needs to be corrected. Corruption at so many levels...

As a lifelong educator, historian, and journalist, i occupy a world of.common sense, ethics, facts, law, logic, math, morality, rationality, reason, and science in my critical-thinking processes on what constitutes the real world around me. This moviemaker does not live in my world; he lives in some fantasy land where he can make up anything that makes him happy, get someone else to pay for the equipment, and then present it to an audience who wants to hear the same kind of "truths" that have no basis in common sense, ethics, facts, law, logic, math, morality, rationality, reason, or science. When 75 percent of modern Americans lack critical-thinking skills, this kind of "art" is what happens. Americans have a choice: enlightened citizenry as the Founding Fathers intended, or ...willful ignorance in a reality-distortion zone created of their own cognitive dissonance. This attempt at a film falls into the latter category-especially when one realizes the moviemaker was a convicted felon, pardoned by his subject. Common sense would have any rational thinker automatically reject such an attempt at moviemaking due to subjectivity and implicit bias. History and posterity is already laughing at this moviemaker.
