You've Been Trumped Too

I hope you watch with an open mind, and open heart! My heartfelt went out to those people in Scotland, and Flint, how terrible that the rich, and powerful put poor people at risk, which ever side your on, we all can agree that, it's unfair, and the poor always suffers, we can and should do better, we need to reconnect with our communities, this documentary open my eyes to much injustice in the world, Trump or Corporation, or Government

The documentary maker's agenda in this film is clear. It has been edited as such and the majority of the film takes sides with those who oppose Trump's development on the east coast of Scotland. However, that withstanding, you cannot come away from this film feeling any sympathy for Trump or his organisation. The time that is given to Trump's side to allow them to explain their action is exactly enough for them to be 'hoist with their own petard'. It is heartbreaking to see folks with such simple means trying to get on with their lives, which is doubtless hard enough, with out the daily pressure and deprivation created by Trumps organisation. If you thought the storming of the capitol raised your hackles then you will be incensed by the end of this film, or you should be at least.

There are a number of documentaries showing that Trump doesn't think laws apply to him. It's sad to think how many people he has hurt and lives he has ruined for the almighty buck. Grateful he is out of the WH and back in the swamps of Florida.

It's pretty decent, but also slightly disappointing, because this could have been great.

Its timeliness was its greatest asset, given that it took place during the crazy year of 2016 (which of course was upended by Tw*nty-Tw*nty, mind you), among Trump's inevitably successful run for President. Yet its timeliness may have also been its greatest undoing, as it feels rushed. It's short, the editing feels awkward sometimes, and it's just a little off as a whole... despite some very good parts here and there.

The personal focus on a couple of people from Scotland was a good call, and it was nice that they got a brief interview with Trump himself this time round. While it builds well off the first, it also uses quite a lot of footage from that film, making me think it was done to fill some time.

So mixed feelings... with a bit more work, it could've been great, but then maybe it wouldn't have been released until 2017, so double-edged sword kind of deal...
