October 25 was the “world premiere” in selected theaters of a biography about Donald Trump called, The Man You Don’t Know. If you’re just now hearing about this, it’s not that odd. Nobody else has heard about this opus, either. A filmmaker put together a $2,000,000 “documentary” of Trump, which has been called a “90 minute public service announcement” by one of the few people to see the thing. It’s speculated that this is counter programming to The Apprentice, which has been released in the United States to favorable reviews.
Frankly, I don’t know how you could spend $2M on interviewing Trump’s relatives on what a terrific guy he is, but I only repeat what I find on the internet. And I do find this figure questionable, because two million bucks is a lot for documentary footage. We’re not talking sets, actors, costumes, location shoots, film permits, a big crew, all of the trappings of movie making, we’re talking sticking a microphone in front of Kimberly and Lara and turning on the camera. In all events, take a look at the trailer.
I have diligently searched to see if I can find box office on this film, number of people who have seen it, top critic reviews (there are none of those) anything that would indicate how well this film is doing and I come up empty handed.
The movie is playing here in Las Vegas but no way am I shelling out the price of a theater ticket and sitting through a Trump family movie. Rotten Tomatos has one critic review only and a bunch of audience reviews. Needless to say, this movie is not setting the screen on fire. Meanwhile, people who do set the screen on fire and who have for decades, like Robert DeNiro and Leonardo diCaprio, are out campaigning for Kamala Harris.
DeNiro: “It makes me so fucking angry that we're here talking about a piece of shit like Donald Trump."

The sheer comedy of this is that Trump wants so badly to be adored by the likes of A-listers like DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, the lot of them, who have gone on record about how much they hate the man. He just can’t stand it that these creative geniuses see him exactly for who and what he is.
Tuesday is coming up fast. Harris has the star endorsements, she has the campaign cash, she has the momentum. Trump, on the other hand, has to limp into Allentown, Pennsylvania later on today and explain to the folks there why some roast comic made ugly cracks about Puerto Ricans. I would rather be us than the Trump campaign six days before Election Day.
So go see the responses to this linked post on muskrats wonderful twit. Nasty. What a relief that I was kicked off before it turned into what it has become. WTF
Ursula, I realize the picture you used for this article was appropriate because of the subject, however, PLEASE don’t use it again. He’s posing for a “paid companion” business, doing it badly, and obviously thinks it’s “perfect”. Makes me nauseous….
C’mon Janet, admit it: any and every photo of Trumpler makes you, me and everybody else nauseous. But I get your point — if possible, he was even slimier looking when younger. He makes my male skin crawl, so I can only imagine the effect on women.
That picture at the top of this article underlines what a pouty little bitch he is and always has been. I hope this movie is an accurate portrayal of that little fact.
Reality doesn’t give a rat’s ass what this spoiled little pissant cares about. Tic phucking tock asswipe.
If there was ever a soft-boy-trust-fund-baby-frat-face, this is it. Ugly inside and out, and already spilling over at whatever age this photo was taken. The arrogance leaps off the page. It amazes me anyone ever took this clown seriously. Ever.
