I have no stake in the game, so to speak but a sick man is a sick man and when that sick man has so much power, the sickness is a scary thing. The warning signs are there, we can all say we saw them because we did. I just hope this film reaches who need to see it and that it's not too little, too late.
For those interested in how the United States could produce a dictator on par with historical dictators of the past, from Mussolini up to Hussein, and current dictators such as Duterte and Putin.
Those delusional viewers who didn't even watch the documentary (note the 1-star reviews below), keep on believing that August 13 (or September 18) is coming and the sociopath will be "reinstated."

No pun intended and it is not just the one man that divides them. It is the two party system. The fact that I rated the movie I did, will leave certain people liking or disliking my review, even without having read it. And whatever you want and can say about Trump, he is savvy enough (not saying clever) to see an opportunity and seize it.
I highly doubt he will ever face serious charges or will have to atone let alone be really prosecuted for any wrongdoings he has done ... and will continue to do. And that is not just because I can't imagine finding an "objective" jury to be on his trial ... but that he is so brazen, using any loophole in his way (grabbing them if you will - and no pun .... well I guess that was intended in a way).
The movie lets you and eveyone in ... it invites us to understand how Trump worked ... how he got where he got ... and no one can really be proud of that moment. Not as thorough as another documentary I saw, but still quite enlightening and easy to digest ... if it only would be as easy to make some people understand that the title of the documentary here is important! While I am not a fan of psycho analyzing people from afar, I think when someone displays the behavior Trump has, it is only fair to judge him by that. What does it say about those still cheering for him? Tough to say the least ... not sure there is a way out of this mess ... one that 30-40% of Americans would be able to comprehend ... other problems to worry about and all that ...

Two sections of the documentary stand out. The first (at the beginning) verifies from mental health experts what many already know: namely, that Trump is a pathological narcissist. After all, how many normal people make outlandishly egotistical statements about being the best at just about everything. Check out the docu footage of Trump's public pronouncements if you doubt me.
Second is the brief account of the ex-president's relative popularity despite his obvious mental flaws. Commentators' remarks are on target attributing that response to basically white working people's unhappiness with a declining economy and rising despair over the future. I'm glad the commentators don't disparage Trump's supporters as stupid or deplorable. After all, looking for relief amidst despair is a perfectly natural reaction. What the account doesn't want to do, understandably, is to opine who or what's to blame for the decline. That, of course, would shift topic away from Trump's mental unfitness.
So let me suggest that the Democrat party's 40-year retreat from working class issues is mainly to blame for the space Trump demagogically strives to fill. After all, neither nature nor politics tolerates a vacuum. So who can blame the ex-president for moving into the political vacuum Democrats largely created. At the same time, Trump doesn't remedy the despair by pressing for legislation like a livable minimum wage, universal health insurance, or similar working class improvements. Such, of course, would materially alter festering conditions that he exploits. Instead, he directs resentment toward cultural elitism and racial equality, and away from widening wealth inequality. Of course, elitism and equality are already viewed by many as threats to white supremacy and perhaps even to America's global reach. So it's coastal elites and protest movements that amount to his principal targets. In short, he's not creating, he's exploiting, and perhaps most importantly, to the fattening advantage of corporate America and the wealthy.
Anyway, agree or not, be sure to catch the documentary. It's illuminating at best, and unsettling at worst. So gird your loins, it's not a comforting sight.

A very interesting and insightful look into the Former Guy. The psychological side was presented in an easy to understand and engaging way. The video evidence supporting the doctor's opinions was damning.
