You've Been Trumped Too (2016) User Reviews

It's a shame it felt rushed, because this had potential to be a great documentary

[Jeremy_Urquhart · 6/10 · 17 September 2020]

It's pretty decent, but also slightly disappointing, because this could have been great.

Its timeliness was its greatest asset, given that it took place during the crazy year of 2016 (which of course was upended by Tw*nty-Tw*nty, mind you), among Trump's inevitably successful run for President. Yet its timeliness may have also been its greatest undoing, as it feels rushed. It's short, the editing feels awkward sometimes, and it's just a little off as a whole... despite some very good parts here and there.

The personal focus on a couple of people from Scotland was a good call, and it was nice that they got a brief interview with Trump himself this time round. While it builds well off the first, it also uses quite a lot of footage from that film, making me think it was done to fill some time.

So mixed feelings... with a bit more work, it could've been great, but then maybe it wouldn't have been released until 2017, so double-edged sword kind of deal...

One Tough Family Against a Vile Businessman and a Submissive Government

[arx00 · 7/10 · 6 February 2022]

The documentary starts slow and not having read the film's description, I was expecting a different plot with a focus on Trump's politics so I was surprised and thought to quit.

It became apparent to me later that it was chronicling Trump Organization's war against an old woman, her son and their neighbors whose land they aim to devour. Anthony Baxter pursues Trump and his company to have this wrong corrected but it leads to no change.

Trump is Trump and there are so many people like him who would not keep their promises or strongarm others. This is why we have governments and laws yet we do not see any support from the local Scottish government other than sending their police forces to scare the people defending their land rights as well as to arrest the filmmakers.

To me it's shame on the local government for letting the Trumps "hunt" these families via various abuses.

Note: I can't fathom how come Molly's family not file a lawsuit against the gov and the Trump golf course for the unclean water they drank for years. Does Scotland lack prosecutors?

It's to bad for Americans that they didn't take note of Molly's warning

There are a number of documentaries showing that Trump doesn't think laws apply to him. It's sad to think how many people he has hurt and lives he has ruined for the almighty buck. Grateful he is out of the WH and back in the swamps of Florida.

Heartfelt documentary

[balski123 · 8/10 · 17 January 2021]

I hope you watch with an open mind, and open heart! My heartfelt went out to those people in Scotland, and Flint, how terrible that the rich, and powerful put poor people at risk, which ever side your on, we all can agree that, it's unfair, and the poor always suffers, we can and should do better, we need to reconnect with our communities, this documentary open my eyes to much injustice in the world, Trump or Corporation, or Government

The consequence, in a microcosm, of Trump's attitude

[nicerfro · 10/10 · 5 February 2021]

The documentary maker's agenda in this film is clear. It has been edited as such and the majority of the film takes sides with those who oppose Trump's development on the east coast of Scotland. However, that withstanding, you cannot come away from this film feeling any sympathy for Trump or his organisation. The time that is given to Trump's side to allow them to explain their action is exactly enough for them to be 'hoist with their own petard'. It is heartbreaking to see folks with such simple means trying to get on with their lives, which is doubtless hard enough, with out the daily pressure and deprivation created by Trumps organisation. If you thought the storming of the capitol raised your hackles then you will be incensed by the end of this film, or you should be at least.

Legal Theft

[jackpaulden · 10/10 · 30 January 2021]

"Legal Theft" or "You've been Right-Wing-Christianized Too" would be acceptable alternate titles for this incredible documentary. When you can watch with "eyes wide shut" hatred take from the poor, and give to the Rich, you realize you've been Right Wing Christianized Too. However, convincing Trump Fans to watch this movie, is perhaps similar to asking the Pope to become a Protest(ant), and Protest--- himself, as Fox News would not allow it. Thank you to the film maker(s), and Molly and all, for the prophesy that is best proven after the fact. To see this documentary now proves that prophesy is a reality based on instinct in this case. Right Wing Christians have followed the Pied-Piper over the cliff, and if there is a safety net to catch them based on faith, it is-as yet- to be discovered, as was the broken underground pipe in the documentary, that became President of these United States!
