Watch You've Been Trumped For Free

Nice effects though.

Excellent adaptation.

Absolutely Brilliant!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

If you are going to do a documentary, this is a great one to use as a template. It was very informative and really gave accurate and insightful information. It was creative and showed heart. It gave the audience a satisfaction, even though it was not known what the result was. First of all, using personal stories was the key. This gave the audience something to root for. The families in Scotland really had a voice and were able to be part of something that meant something. I can appreciate the crew for what they did with this project. They helped those who were being exploited. This documentary was so powerful, it changed history and presently, Trump lost this battle and the right people one. Congrats to this documentary for meaning something!

This documentary is a classic expose of the decay of humanity in the compost of capitalism. This is a grotesque example of corporate bullying and institutionalized hegemony. When Mr. Trump decides to desecrate the natural flora and fauna of Aberdeen, Ireland and uproot the lives of people settled there, he must face resistance from the good people of Aberdeen who won't give up without a fight. This documentary reminds one of the ancient tale of David and Goliath or perhaps a recurring event in history where a free and oppressed people have risen against tyranny. This documentary gets us to reflect on the state of the society we live in, most importantly on what we have allowed society to become. It causes us to consider the harsh truth that maybe imperialism is not dead after all, just evolved. And it reiterates the need to let them know, for all time that we are, and will remain the 99%.

This documentary, directed by Anthony Baxter, is a scathing indictment of Donald Trump and his organization's tactics. It's a modern day David vs. Goliath tale. as it follows the attempts by Trump to build a $1 billion project, consisting of a luxury hotel and two golf courses along the coastline of Aberdeenshire, Scotland.The land there is particularly environmentally sensitive, with one of the last bastions of natural sand dunes in the British Isles, as well as the home to various wildlife. He meets the opposition of a number of long time residents of the area who refuse to sell their land for the project.A local politician, Martin Ford, leads a committee of the local council, which rejects the Trump project. However, for apparently the first time in history, the central Scottish Government, pulls the approval process from local hands and gives it a green light. Additionally, it may issue Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO's) vs. those residents who refuse to sell, similar to our eminent domain.Once construction started, the documentary illustrates the abominable tactics used by the Trump Organization against the Scottish holdouts. These include harassment, intimidation, personal verbal assaults by Trump against Michael Forbes, one of the landowners, breaking a water well which left Forbes' without water for at least a week, etc. etc.When the filmmaker, Anthony Baxter, tried to confront one of the Trump site managers regarding the water situation, he was not only rudely dismissed but later arrested by the local police and held for four hours. Another local resident, David Milne, had a fence arbitrarily torn down by the Trump minions, with the claim that their maps said it was on property they had purchased. They also had the gall to later bill Milne over 2800 pounds to erect a new fence.As opposition to Trump's hotel and golf courses grew, there was talk of erecting a large wind farm right off the coastline. I saw that in March of this year, the wind farm was approved by the Scottish government, leading Trump to threaten to sue in court and abandon the project, as he felt the view of the hotel guests would be ruined.All in all, I thought the film was a little slow-paced and some of the Scottish "accents" were sometimes difficult to understand, but the scope of the movie greatly outweighed everything else. Personally, I felt my "blood boil" at some of the tactics used on these homeowners. If one feels the film is too one-sided, Trump was given numerous chances to give his side of the story but ignored all requests for over a year.

This is an incredible story of how an egomaniac scumbag trampled all over people who had no way to fight back. What's worse, he was actively aided and abetted by the entire Scottish government, from the local politicians and local police all the way to the highest levels who knew full well that Trump was cheating and stealing over and over. Both he and the Scottish Government officials are sickening. NO lawyer stepped forward,NO politician had any attack of conscience, NO ONE of any influence at all stepped forward to help. Everyone was bought and paid for. You should not miss this movie.
