Truth is telling the whole story. When the film say Trump is all about free markets and open trade, when in the real world Trump is actively instituting trade tariffs, it is impossible to take this guy seriously. This is one of the ever so many gaps in logic and shifts from reality the film makes that is absurd. To compare Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln is somewhere between a pipe dream and laughable.
The film goes on with half truths and quotes that are completely removed from context, including labeling Richard Spencer of the Alt Right as Democrat, a liberal, and a progressive.
If you are a die hard Trump supporter who does not want to ruin a good movie with to much truth, then this is the film for you. However, if you are looking for an honest assessment of anything, look elsewhere, because this is at best a work of fiction.
As for the film making qualities, the plot is basically a smear campaign that jumps all over time and topic. There is no linear thought process or cohesion to the film. This is a very sloppy and poorly thought out film which could use a dose of truth and a good producer to edit it and put the scenes into a logical order. This is not a documentary to make you think, it is propaganda 101 and it is not even well done propaganda. At least Hitler and the Nazi's, who are referenced frequently in the film knew how to put together well thought out propaganda.
