This documentary tells the story of modern America through the life of one man -- President Donald Trump. The four-episode series shows how he has embodied many of the movements that have shaped American society since the 1960s, including capitalism, political disenfranchisement, reality TV and social media. The show traces Trump's rise in the 1970s, when he built Trump Tower, through his expansion into casinos in the 1980s, financial problems in the early 1990s, and turning his attention to politics in the 2010s, including his decision to run for the White House.

4/5
It has an ear for the incriminating quote . . . many of them uttered by The Donald himself. Go to Full Review
Anthony Schneck Thrillist 06/28/2018
Instead of Teflon Ron, the 21st century has Teflon Don, and despite the media coverage, the exposs, the former friends and business partners speaking out, Donald Trump can wield his position of extreme power to deflect all comers. Go to Full Review
Tess Cagle The Daily Dot 04/05/2018
Most importantly, the series uses that context to build an argument about Trump's personality-one that shows him lacking morals and empathy for others. Go to Full Review

Andrew S @andyguitar Jun 15 Typical Leftie political hit piece! They attempt to make Trump out to be an arrogant monster. Yes, he was a shrewd businessman. He would not have gotten anywhere in life if he wasn't, but in typical Netflix fashion, they conveniently skipped over the fact that he is one of the most amazing, accomplished, and charitable human beings that ever lived. If my wife and I were not getting Netflix for free, we would have cancelled after watching this! See more David E May 8 I rated it 5 Stars only as a definite must-see. I rate it 4 Stars based on the fact that it is very fascinating for those on both the left and the right. I rate it 3 Stars max for objectivity. I suspect it is less objective than that, but since I don't know for sure, it would be inappropriate to rate less. Regardless, we already knew that Trump is a true narcissist, and even if this documentary was completely objective, it would not be completely surprising. I am glad they terminated the season before the period of his presidency, because it would likely have been much less objective after that. It would be really nice, and VERY, VERY fascinating if there was an OBJECTIVE season 2: The Narcissist President”. There were things in this documentary that we have always heard about, but which I never really knew if there was anything to it. This definitely helps put it into perspective. What is interesting, is that Trump is quite a bit different now in some ways. He is still a 100% narcissist, but now he genuinely wants to serve – in addition to craving the limelight LOL. Like many of us, he is tired of the idiocy and duplicity of our government (all parties). He is best president in at least 100 years, if not 2, “in doing what he says he'll do” and especially in “doing the hard things” that even Reagan did not or could not do. So I'll continue to support Trump, all the while continuing to cringe whenever he speaks, for which reason I don’t often watch his speeches. However, I love to watch his interviews and briefings when he often calls out the lying media and their fake news. I had been waiting 20 years for someone to do that and oh, how I just absolutely love that!! See more Read all reviews
