I liked this a lot, and even as a Michael Moore fan, it's probably better than the compelling but somewhat flawed Fahrenheit 11/9. You're not going to find out much you don't already know, and I can see this being less useful for people who watched the tv series all the footage is from. But it's engaging and entertaining and kind of grim but also enlightening: I saw clips of Trump here that I hadn't seen before, and it kind of made me go: "huh, so that's the appeal." I mean it's not as important now that there's a 2020 election to worry about (and look, problems beyond that that are arguably more pressing),but it's a good political recap of how the USA got to the position it's been in since 2017, and so therefore kind of like a very well-done, feature length "previously on" segment for the tv show that is LIFE.

A really engaging and fast-paced documentary
Very informative interesting look at the 2016 election
Trumped is an inside look at how Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States. Or as I personally like to call it: how our country elected a clown lol. Whether you supported Clinton or Trump in the November election doesn't really matter when watching this documentary. Yes the men doing it have a pretty clear liberal lean to them, but hey everyone has opinions. With me having supported Clinton in the election, it was interesting to see exactly how it all happened. Because believe me, I was beyond shocked at the result that night, I fully expected to see a Hillary Clinton win, but the pollsters were all wrong, that's not what we got. The documentary is well filmed, with real live footage of rallies, interviews with both campaign managers, Mook and Conway, and talks with other media people about what they expected the result to be. I liked the pacing and the very thorough explaining of everything as the film covered it. If you want to find out more about exactly how this shocking, very unconventional past election cycle happened, then I suggest this movie. Or maybe you have very young children right now and one day when they're older they want to learn more about the 2016 election, I'd say this movie is a good way to educate them.
This movie explains why the democrats lost...
Democrats have been losing elections for several years, other than Obama's 2 terms.
The movie itself is another example of why the democrats lost. Every writer and pundit lost sight of their objectivity and job. They forgot the facts and were guided by their own emotions. And their emotions are now showing as a mental disorder.
The country for decades has been going from party to party and back again seeking truth in leaders to no avail. Obama said what he thought people needed to hear, but then the people found he consistently lied and did just the opposite! His socialist ideology was dragging down the country.
Any pundit should have known the people have been, and would have a tendency to switch to the republicans. There had been no major increase in the economy or any other reason to continue with the democrats.
Especially since they had a severely flawed candidate in Clinton.
The leaders and MSM had shown they were lairs and could not be trusted!
To sum it up. Every thing in this film was slanted from the very beginning for Clinton. The end shows this in great detail when the people in the film are all disappointed at the end. Not one of the characters in the film showed any joy when Trump won.
At the end the male TV pundit summed up why they missed what had happened. He said Trump had a plane and a hat. Missing entirely what Trump had been saying and giving promises to the people!
