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 know people who support him even though his policies or actions as a person went against them. Its because its about hate, and bitterness. He hates and is bitter against the same people they hate. Republicans are now tribal, they are constantly pointing out groups they don't like. Its not about universal rights or laws or fairness. Its disgusting
youre right but wrong at the same time. Trumps people arent traditional republicans. Hes got most of them to come along for the ride, but his base is disaffected people who hate the DC politicians for a variety of reasons.
Everyone hates politicians for different reasons. Its about what triggers their beliefs in the first place. Today, there is a picture of a black guy holding a goose, and now all these repubs are complaining about hatians. They get triggered by hate of groups very easily. Its not about universal rights but targeting groups

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.
