The funniest thing about Trump crying “electioneering” is that it was actually an [anti-Hillary documentary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary:_The_Movie) that led to the Citizens United ruling that said this kind of thing is protected by the 1st Amendment.

Was Joe Biden whining and throwing a fit when Dailywire released their lame ass movie?

If you want a primer on the psychology of Trump before you go watch this, #Unfit (available for free on Amazon Prime) is fantastic and scary.

Has anyone seen it yet? Curious if its got any revelations in it, or if it’s rehashing stuff those of us here would already know?

Trump’s re-election campaign has excoriated the project, calling it “pure malicious defamation” and “garbage”.
Were they referring to the actual content of the movie or it’s main character?
LordAlvis on
The “fury” is so passé at this point. Every day it’s “*Trump campaign FURIOUS about …!*” *Trumpworld RAGES against …!*” What will crybaby Trump be OUTRAGED about tomorrow?

I’d have probably never heard of this and likely would have avoided it if I had (as I try to avoid all things Trump) if it were not for the Trump campaign Streisand-ing the heck out of it.

What exactly is scalp reduction surgery?

Isn’t this financed by one of his rich supporter’s?

OMG he’s going to melt and tell MAGA to boycott Hollywood.

Good. Keep the hits coming. If the media is going to be complacent in allowing this shit show, instead of accurately portraying him, let Hollywood land a solid shot or two when it matters most.

Come on Tom Steyer or some other Democrat billionaire, buy it, stream it for free on Youtube or some such!
His ‘fury’ might bring a complete meltdown and put him where he can do little damage – a lock down mental facility (though I’d prefer Florence ADX.)

Fun fact(?)
The actress playing Ivana Trump is played by Maria Bakalova. The same actress that was in Borat 2 and was almost sexually assaulted by Rudy Giuliani.

I can’t see a diehard MAGA driving to a theater, spending $15 on a ticket, watching this movie, then changing his mind. The rest of us already know Trump is an asshole and a damaged fuck up. The only thing I can see tipping any balances is if some really powerful and damning scene from the movie goes viral which somehow dampens MAGA enthusiasm and MAGA turnout.

This movie should be in every theater in the country. Yet, it appears like the major chains are not showing it. Funny how that is 🤔
trainsaw on
Seems like the media has buried this movie, or they’re not advertising it much
AmrokMC on
They don’t like it? Too bad. This was the exact case of *Citizens United v Hillary Clinton*, which the Supreme Court then spun into the whole “money = speech” and “corporations are people” bullshit.

We need a new term, “October drumbeat of surprises”: the Bob Woodward book about seven phone calls with Putin, the former CIA Director calling Trump Putin’s mole in the White House, Jack Smith spreading more factual evidence about jan6 before the public, a movie Detailing, the dysfunctional roots and Monsters of trump’s life… Cumulatively, these won’t dissuade cult Trump voters but could peel away a few uncertain ones here and there.
forceblast on
I’ll be honest. I really want to see this, but there’s no way in hell I’m gonna see it in a theater. Seems like a prime target for these MAGA nut jobs. I hope it’s coming to streaming.

I just hope that all of the people bitching about him turn out and actually vote instead of just bitching

Would that be classified under ‘slapdash comedy’ genre?
Fred-zone on
How widely is it being released? Would be great to get it on streaming before the election but that is probably asking too much.
BioDriver on
It’s not slander if it’s true. And all the controversial scenes were based off court records, witness testimony, and other well documented events. Trump knows the media and knows that almost every American will have a more negative view of him should they see the movie.

Well this will increase his votes. Everything that exposes his criminality and stupidity just makes him more likeable among his cult.

I don’t even want to watch a portrayal of trump or Cohn, but maybe I will see it since it is making them mad
rtopps43 on
I can’t imagine who this is for. His supporters definitely won’t go to anything critical of their god and I’d rather get several root canals than spend any of my free time consuming MORE trump than I’m already force fed through the news. If you’re planning on seeing this, why? Not trying to be confrontational, trying to understand.

Already have my tickets!
Schiffy94 on
Sorry, the only Trump portrayal I’ll watch is James Austin Johnson.
AgentM44 on
Saw it last night. Pretty entertaining overall. Sebastian Stan nailed the role as Trump, as did Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. I was surprised how nostalgic it made me for the days when he was just a sleazy tabloid celebrity and not a threat to world stability. Some very explicit scenes, so be prepared for that. Highly recommended.

I don’t know why his campaign is worried.
His supporters or undecided voters (a myth to be sure) are not going to watch it.
And if everything else he hasn’t done is driving mew voters to vote against him, this movie probably isn’t going to do it either.
Honestly, the most likely outcome is that this will increase enthusiasm in both bases.
Anti-trumpers will see it as more fuel and MAGA will see it as more attacks on him they have to defend him from.

Definitely going to see this tonight. Seems like he had a crazy early life.

Why did MAGA Republican Dan Snyder fund the making of this “pure malicious defamation???”

Ugh, haven’t we had enough of Trump? Who is this movie even for? His supporters won’t watch it because they’ll see it as a hit piece, and everyone else is sick of him. I just can’t imagine who wanted this…..

I hope he rants uncontrollably about it and that makes people flock to it
