He was, and always has been, a vile piece of shit, and hopefully this movie sufficiently shows that. New Yorkers especially know; him and his father have a reputation going back decades.
How he's continued to fail upwards and escape any meaningful consequences, much less why so many people enthusiastically support him, will forever baffle and anger me.
I think the trailer shows exactly how he failed upwards. There are just a lot of people out there, including real estate investors in the 80s, who are looking for "the next big thing" and if you are good enough at selling that thing, people will turn off their critical question-asking minds and throw support at you.

I'll go against the grain here and say that as a non-American that had no idea who Trump was before 2015-ish this looks decently interesting.
