Trump's America | DW Documentary

- The US in the 2020 election year is a country deep in crisis. It’s been torn apart by the debate on racism, and millions have been infected with the coronavirus. On top of that, its president is pouring oil on the flames with his Twitter tirades.
At the beginning of the year, things were looking good for Donald Trump: the economy was doing well, unemployment figures were at a 50-year low, his job approval rating was rising, and the Democrats were preoccupied with themselves. But then came the coronavirus, a hazard that the president initially made light of, saying it would miraculously disappear. Instead of a miracle, the crisis hit the United States harder than any other country. The economy is in the doldrums. And COVID-19 is making the shortcomings of the health care system glaringly obvious.
Black Americans have been hit harder by the coronavirus than most. A higher proportion of them work in low-wage jobs that offer little protection against the virus, and they are less likely to have health insurance. The rage expressed in demonstrations against racism is being fuelled by the corona crisis and the mass unemployment it has triggered across the US.
It is hard to imagine that the economy will recover quickly - despite the trillions of dollars Trump is giving to companies. It is also hard to imagine that the millions of unemployed will have jobs again by the time the election is held.
Filmmakers Claudia Buckenmaier and Marion Schmickler traveled through the swing states of Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan and asked people how the economic and health crisis is affecting them. What hopes do voters have going into November’s election? The bitter dispute between Republicans and Democrats and Donald Trump’s divisive style of government has brought democracy in the US to brink of the abyss. The distrust is so great that the Democrats even expect that Trump will reject the election result if he loses. Unimaginable? The Democrats seem to be preparing for exactly this scenario.

"Government helping people would be socialism and I don't want that"
20 mins later
"I'm happy my business is getting a government stimulus so I can run on it for the next two months"
The cognitive dissonance...
😂
lol in other words: “Socialism is fine when it benefits me but not when it benefits whoever is being demonized on the Fox News shows I watch”
Lmao 😂😂
I once used to think that USA should be a rolemodel for my country. Really cringe to remember that
So true..
The one thing I don't get is why do people get so fascinated with being a Republican or a Democrat. You don't need to vote a bad republican just because you were a republican before & vice versa. Vote based on people & their actions. People shouldn't feel obligated to vote for a bad person just because of their affiliation with a certain party.
Yeah, my friend vehemently defends Modi as if he's a close friend or a relative.
That's right
Many Americans treat it as a favorite sports team - the other party is the enemy.
Well my man that is where tribalism comes in.
Do you find it peculiar the reply I wrote to you has been removed alongside the thread? I explained to you over the course of an A4 page I dislike Trump and Biden equally and would never vote for any of them, and explained to you why with references to studies, universities and Washington Post. It was extremely well-written. Those comments are exactly the ones that are removed, they actually teach people what they need to know. The US corporate state controls all posts and comment in all social media, Wikileaks revealed the cooperation, for which Julian Assange will spend the rest of his life in a cell.
It is hard to watch this.
e
Yes it is, painfully so...
We need to get back to work so we can eat we can wear a mask 😷 it’s not hard 😻
@Luigi Nastro me too i though Australia was racist. America is worse
It's a pretty huge wakeup call for the sheeple that voted for Trump. World history informs us well what happens when you elect a demagogue that advocates toxic populism within a democracy, and it universally never ends well. Even if you're a conservative, character undermines policy. His lack of empathy, his inability to listen to others, his refusal to listen to experts/science, his lack of education/holistic knowledge, his lack of humility, his lack of discipline - All completely antithetical to the party that essentially started with the epitome of character and intelligence: Abraham Lincoln.
Keep in mind that there's a very good reason that, on a county by county basis, those areas with the least educational attainment voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016. Ignorance is not your friend, and I (perhaps a little ironically) say this as a proud American myself =)
Bottom line: Chemotherapy is painful.
This was filmed in July, it is now October and it's only gotten worse.
Lol
Its gotten much worse and Trump keeps saying we are rounding the curve, ITS JUST GETTING WORSE!
@Marco T lol... just like your leader, blame someone else!
Exponentially worse-and Trump is absolutely to blame.
@Marco T Nice try. Dem's protesting has nothing to do with the country being in crisis. NOTHING. Protestors are one of the results when you have incompetent and racist leadership. I can't believe anyone can look at this place and blame people who are protesting being murdered by the police, instead of the incompetent piece of shit currently pretending to be a president. As I type, Trump is spreading a deadly virus at such a high rate, hospitals are overflowing with Covid patients wherever he goes. And he could care less. Unbelievable, disgraceful, pathetic, disgusting, criminal, psychopathic, instigator.... those are his qualities and yet you and your fellow Fox News viewers don't see a thing. It is complete madness and I look at this country with disgust. Hopefully, this will change in the next 48 hours. Fox News has destroyed the "United" States of America.

@@saineteshrao9120 thank u very much
I would just like to slightly correct the lady at the beginning. Corona has not changed anything, it exposed the weaknesses that were already there. Same goes for other countries as well.
Solid hit.
Corona is so unfortunate and I'm so goddamn sick of it, especially being an employee for a big retailer. But holy shit, I'm so glad people are starting to realize just how incompetent our government is. It shouldn't have taken this much to wake up the population, but I'm glad it did in the end.
See my comment above..Thx
@@claudialu they have very low population, compared to India, China, Brazil and US.
New Zealand population is lower than 0.5% of India. Same goes for the rest of the countries. Lesser population makes it easier for them to control corona, but gulf countries can't do that because they're dependent on immigrant workers who are from various Asian countries.
I think corona will become like common cold and spread everywhere unless they find vaccine atleast next year.
This Crisis has shown us what we truly are on the insides. Beasts.
"To learn who rules over you ,

True, I just happened to say something against Trump on social media the other days & got bombarded with angry Trumpets haha thankfully it doesn't matter as I don't live there....
@@OpiumBride i can name many other countries (and not just developed countries) in which you can criticize the leader. It's just the type of response that you might get which will differ.
So I don't know what you mean by "any other country" as if you mean only in USA can you criticize the leader.
@@OpiumBride Generalizing much! Only autocratic run countries (e.g.China, Russia, turkey, phillipines, North Korea) would silence you. And if you think with trump constantly calling everything said against him as fake news whilst promoting his own lies and Qanon conspiracy theories, it won't be long when trump and his enablers will start behaving like one.
Right now Americans are very stressed out and sensitive... I'm not there but you can feel the tension even on social media. I posted something on a gardening FB group the Americans didn't like and got rained on with negativity so insane
That can only be America's 51st State of Israel.
Boy, only if they knew what would happen in January 2021.
JHEEEZZZEEE! 🤣
If Americans can attribute the buzzing economy to Trump, then they should also credit the run away of COVID pandemic to him as well.
Trump knows that china and india will start the apocalypse so thats why china and india own the european companies and the american companies
@@estelaangeles2346 Stop trolling these threads girl!!
Pure evil as democrats embraced covid to pass blame on a US president for a virus started and spread by communist china. LOL. trump brought the world the vaccine in 9 months while Biden was hiding and democrats were defunding police and inciting riots. AFTER they fabricated a russia hoax to take down a US president you all ignore. The only racism has been created by the democrats that created jim crow laws, segregation and the KKK. democrats celebrated KKK member robert senator byrde. LMAO...
There have been more deaths under Biden, so by your math, Biden deserves more credit than Trump. Biden has been the worst president in modern history, nice work.
@@kaptkronik135 amen..
People who own business that are failing should just open new businesses.
Isn’t that what they tell us wage earners?
Here’s the difference you get unemployment and rent freezes to help you. Small business got 0 relief and big corporations have only gotten richer as small businesses fail.

I get it, but I believe in and vote for and support those things. I’m not telling everyone to find their bootstraps.
@@Spiral.Dynamics one side wants lockdowns to save lives but aren’t concerned about people livelihoods. The other side wants people livelihood saved and aren’t concerned about those people lives. It’s sad on both sides neither really care one side just pretends to.
Jordan R
Absolutely. The federal government doesn’t work for us, that’s a fact.
@@johnnytsunami3695 its not nearly that simple. I wonder if a business owner watching his business die feels as heart broken as a family burying a parent, or a mothers young child. When a person loses a job it doesn't mean they immediately qualify for unemployment. Or even if they do get unemployment, it doesn't mean there is enough money to pay for Rent. or food, or utilities. That makes me wonder what a business man feels like to be a trump employee. No one actually thinks trump throws just his friends under the buss on a regular basis do they. Smaller the fish, faster the crush.
Watching this movie has revealed and clarified a lot about Americans and their though process. First, a good number of American have a very narrow understanding of social systems and socialism. They think if the nation takes care of its people there is no "Democracy". Second there is a profound narrow mindedness with most Americans. There seem to be a grave lack of ability to see the bigger picture when looking at issues. Race, immigration, discrimination and misogyny.

Good try. Socialism is a straight through to Communism. Socialism is not a long term government structure. All countries that say they are Socialist are Communist. Now please GTFO.

Yep. That describes a good bit of "Trumpism."
When I get financial assistance from the government, it's a bailout, it's relief. When you get the same assistance, it's socialism. Sorry, I guess the assistance I get is also socialism.
When you get addicted to it, and give up your freedom for it, it’s probably socialism
@@AtomMoon When shortcuts are available, they will soon become the only way
@@AtomMoon ITS NOT, thats just welfare
@@NortheastIndiaindetails welfare is designed to help people get out of poverty, not stay in it.
Accept for the inevitable cases such as widows and orphans, welfare was not designed to be permanent.
Using caps doesn’t make your point more legitimate. How are welfare issues in India?
@@AtomMoon I don't see how the US is helping people to get out of poverty. An US expat, living in my country once said "they are throwing crumbs at you while they have the cake...".
From the outside, it looks like people are pushed into poverty. Most of the money spent by the US government went into Wallstreet and made the rich even richer on the back of those who can afford less every year.
I don't recall Mr Trump promising it that way in 2016.
You called everyday worldwide wellfare "socialism". Then, why are there so many democratic countries in the world that are not "socialist" but provide wellfare? Simply providing decent healthcare is seen as an important part of supporting companies to keep the knowledge within the company - and not being lost to bancrupt, sick and unable to work citizens.
how socialism became slang for communism I will never understand, economically here in socialist canada we made it out of last winter better than the US did with less economic consequences.
funnily enough, you can have a socialist system & it still be a democracy.

Understands business when he has filed for bankruptcy so many times? How stupid are some people?
Jason Tempel you got it right and it goes to show how ineffective most laws in the US are
Trump has been involved in over 500 business ventures, of those 13 have been unsuccessful and ultimately filled for bankruptcy that is true, however, that's a near 90% percent success rate overall. Gotta love how they always leave out that little detail
You dont own a business do you ? Bankruptcy can be a good thing for a business. You clearly work a 9-5
Unimaginably stupid.

Good documentary, it's a sad day when simply reporting on realities in the U.S. is seen as a divisive.
It's divisive because it's bias, it doesnt provide a neutral view to someone who wishes to watch this with an open mind, the video is simply a liberal wet dream and possibly a campaign for Joen Biden.
@Mark Tubera Incorrect, this is how international liberal community view what's happening in America, DW is a leftwing cesspool of propaganda, the espouse liberal ideas for the most part like the populace of germany that's considerably left-leaning, you just font have the critical thinking skills to understand any of the factual information i just regurgitated. The video doesnt provide a nuance view of Trump, it deliberately villify him so political hacks like you who no nothing would think this is journalism. If this was a video talking about all the good things Trump has done you wouldnt make this stupid comment.
@Mark Tubera And this is how much you and Europe lack awareness..... Trump was voted in because we knew EXACTLY how the international community would view it. Hello..... he ran on America 1st..... Its a foreign policy position.
We have grown tired of bending to the will of the Alliance just because we led it, while the alliance members reserve the right to refuse to be led. We were tired of sending Europe nice Presidents that Europeans could then glad hand them out of the room and refuse to increase spending. Promise and promise some more.
Most politicians are corrupt. Standards are slipping. If they got someone corrupt that would give them the foreign policy they wanted then that's whats going to happen.

Boy...They need to teach Civics in America. You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you don't know what socialism means.
It’s just embarrassing that so many natural born Americans know nothing about their nation’s history and civics. Yet immigrants have to study their butts off in order to acquire citizenship (which includes being able to vote!)
Maybe that should be an additional requirement to vote.
I totally agree.

How can you talk about civics when you just stated that natural born citizens should have to meet educational requirements in order to vote??? You sound like a dictator!
A president is judged or assessed according to how he or she tackles or manages all arising issues so the president should tap or take advantage of all available human resources a lack of this can create a major setback or unexpected failures, any success of the country goes to the President's credit and likewise the opposite.
I think that gives too much power or credence to the president. Separation of powers provides that not only Trump and his cabinet but all participants of the current system are equally responsible for the existing outcomes. I understand what you're saying but I think we (all) give too much power to our "commander and chief" and have much more responsibility than we are willing to accept responsibility for. Even if what you said was true, we are the card-holders, he is the card.

BRUH I DIDNT KNOW IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES☠☠☠
This guy ruined America. Joe Biden is bad as a president also. But this is a snowball effect from the trump era. All he did was teach everyone how to rip each other off. Get rich by buying everything up to make supply and demand rise. This is why rent and consumer goods are inflating. The is how narcissist like it though. They like to control. Create panic and watch everyone suffer.
I don't understand why any self respectjing person buys into that big lie of him being successful at business. There's only a decades long very public track record of his business failings and deeds and owing people money. Trump is proof that if you tell a lie big enough, loud enough, long enough, the masses will believe it. He starts to believe the lie himself. Every rainmaker confidence man conniver gaslighting sheister, if they have a conscience, can even delude themselves into believing their own lie. Easier than facing the truth that he substituted love from his parents by grasping for fame, even if it was fake success and phony fame. Easier than facing his own shame in insecurities the size of Alaska. Easier than facing that his entire life has been a charade and a lie, a fake story he made up, bc his parents did not know how to love him or make him feel like a whole person.
Dark triad of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellian, people.
Always interesting to watch people of faith twist themselves into knots defending the president. I'd have much more respect for them if they were honest about compartmentalizing their lives and religious convictions
Exactly why I don’t vote for trump.. my ethics and pride would be trashed if I did such a thing.

Look at your history the democrats started the civil war, created the confederate flag, created the kkk and jim crow laws. trump lowered taxes, had a booming economy, protected out border. democrats incite riots and fabricate a russia hoax YOU IGNORE and any party that fabricates a russia hoax will steal an election.

Watching this after everything that's happened, I see a lot of division, those who seem to love Trump and everyone else. Now he's going through a second impeachment. He's pretty much caused a coup and even some of his closest supporters in congress are abandoning ship.
fast forward to 2022 and some of the Republicans are backing him harder or adopting his practices. I'm just glad he wasn't president for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Dodged a serious bullet there. But while we dodged a bullet, it seems like what we're up against is machine gun fire.

So funny that "running on all 4 cylinders" is an expression. Growing up it was "running on all 8 cylinders."
A guy that dismantled the only agency who was equipped to deal with the pandemic while claiming " it will go away like a miracle" didn't have the best interest on WE THE PEOPLE'S health.
Let’s remember Trump dismantled Obama’s Pandemic Response Team, and he claimed Obama wasn’t an American, all for one reason: Trump hates successful black men. FACT!
Thank you,more people don't realize how dumb Trump was to close down the agency
There is much to be said for being an entrepreneur, providing a service, and benefitting from having taken some risks. I do feel for those who have small business and who may be losing them as a result of this pandemic. HOWEVER, this pandemic does indicate that there needs to be some fundamental changes in the economic structure of this country. Many large businesses are making record profits, and the tiny minority at the top are getting MUCH richer as a result of the pandemic and the inability of small business and employees to survive. The economy has been teetering for years through different administrations and Congresses, and the working poor (including business owned by the working poor) have not had the support that they need to withstand any amount of bad luck. Things have got to change fundamentally, but Trump offers nothing but blatant lies, smokescreens, and mirrors. The country has become a house of horrors for many who, just a year ago, had convinced themselves that if they just try harder, work harder, and cut expenses where possible, everything would end up okay.
The greed of a few rules us into utter chaos. Many people are awake now thinking there must be a meaningful change coming about that's actually long overdue, but no one seems to know to do nor can we agree on any particular thing. So the dishonest system of greed intentionally divides us only pitting people against one another. Our underlying problems and weaknesses were already at play under the veneer of mainstream media illusions before Covid began. There's a club at the top of the debt based pyramid most of us aren't in that only works in our favor when it has an agenda of developing the current era high tech global age as was the case after WW2 for many years when it was a small business climate and seemed to be a patriotic united state, but now obviously being dismantled to clear the way to cement a full on dictatorial technocratic totalitarian one world order of the financial elites. So the heroes must step up again to fight for and save the world or all is lost.
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 Hi Tube Specific! I couldn't agree more. This is all part of something much bigger, much darker, and much more dangerous creature than most of us can even imagine. I found your phrase "technocratic totalitarian one world order of financial elites" to be a concise and comprehensive identification of the cause of the problem and, at the same time, ominously predictive. What can we do? What will we do? We are hopelessly divided between willfully ignorant and enlightened, stupid and intelligent, dishonest and honest, rich and slave, and greedy and, um, not so greedy. The Irish poet Yeats had a good line in his poem, The Second Coming. In it he wrote: "The best lack all conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity." I'm afraid that this country is hopelessly fractured. Regardless of who wins the election, this country will be torn apart in a way that makes Vietnam look like a picnic in the park. And everything that we say, including this post, will be monitored, categorized, and archived for later use. How do we know this? Because it is already happening.
@Tim exactly & agreed! Trump couldn't succeed with casinos, a $400+ million inheritance and massive billion dollar loans from various banks - having gone bankrupt 6 TIMES despite all the help. Yet simple folks still think he is a good businessman smh
There's money and power to be made in consolidating and buying up competitors. It's the treadmill of capitalism. If you don't control for that end state, you get 2 or 3 big conglomerates owning everything, and killing the "free" part of "free market." No competitors, no variety, just one company that owns the 3 options you can choose from and no incentive to innovate or lower costs for consumers. Sure, they'll find efficiencies, but they'll keep the profit since there's no alternatives.
@@dwaynezilla Hello dwanezilla. Yup. And when there is less and less competition, capitalism dies.

On a more serious note, America is in trouble. The underlying issue is the inability to think critically and toxic nationalism.

Mitch McConnell has over 600 Legislative Bills that were passed in the House of Representatives, several are for financial assistance and he is refusing to pass them on the the Senate.

Go down there and start making some money then - selling car jacks.
I read a few weeks ago that tweaker metal scrapper thieves are already getting pieces that are on the 2nd hand market South of the border. An insecure destabilizing fragile America is what China wants and the Democrats are supportive of that. 1,973 miles of Great Wall in a dangerous border area is possible for China had national security and the art of war a very long time ago to combat against invading the Mongol golden hoard.
@JT Yang Sure. China needs America just as America needs China. If the trade relationship broke down, then we'd both have big problems. America needs all that stuff we no longer make and China needs the cash in flow to power it's new greatness. The Western political cult you mention is actually the Western hegemony that has America at the center of the global economy with the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. The thing China CCP wants is to replace America to declare itself the world super power and then make Yuan the reserve currency. Not only might that cause war with America, but you'll also have to deal with India too which is a great big nuclear super power nation. If there was one world order today or if ever, then we'd not have all this nonsense and it would be united. Americas version is the New World Order and China's is One Belt One Road. I imagine there will be a big war some day and then the UN and World Bank becomes the one world order.
I love that dairy farmer. People in the middle are always drowned out by the extremes of both right & left leaning party supporters. I thought I was the only person who looks at the character & qualifications of a candidate, not party affiliation.
I always look at their character. Words mean shi-, actions speak louder. Trumps done what he has done.. and honestly it’s just uninspiring. He could’ve done better in so many instances. The fact that the man gets sick from covid and actually garners praise from his worshippers.. It’s just a sad time in history of the USA.
Thank you for the documentary.
Hi @Benjamin S., thank you too for watching!
That Steve dude is well off by a wide margin, never experienced real poverty I reckon. That's the reason Life's going smooth and whatever is good personally for his business is claimed as what's good for the country by him while others suffer.
I give respect to every hospital worker they are trying to help those who have covid 19
most nurses are absolute heroes. bless their hearts for putting themselves in harms way to help us. a first world war against a virus and these are our soldiers.
yes of course.
As of today, over 220,000 deaths

As of Friday, France per capita had more than double the new cases as compared to U.S.

unbelievable just how this show predicated/the last question the interviewer asks the people in the show, its January 2021 Trump has lost the election and he's refusing to leave the office.
I think a follow up documentary would be quite interesting.
Unfortunately we don’t have a third choice!
Yes you have, her name is Jorguensen!!!
you do! Kanye west lmao
@@eshankrishna5778 please tell me your joking
Vote for Jorgensen
@themask9909 I will vote for Trump on Nov 3rd
I just suggested for Non affiliated voters to go for Jorgensen if they feel comfortable
I'm fine with all people, unlike Democrats who are racists and pedophiles
Evidently, the on-air omnipresence of the late far-right radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh for well more than thirty-two years helped paved the way for the phenomenal political ascendancy of Trump.
He's got to go. That's what happens when you vote a reality show president. You cannot have the economy run without nailing down health
Look at the usa now under king biden. LOL. Sky high crime, murder infaltion, fentynal deaths. democrats embraced covid to destroy Trumps historic economy shutting down small biz while big corp stayed open.
Unlike in Germany he said. Jokes on you. This virus is reckless, people are reckless and things can change in a matter of days. What I am glad about is, that we aren't as stubborn, selfish and hostile towards mandates as Americans seem to be, so I am optimistic that we actually can turn this around again fairly quickly.
Nice documentary, Please do a follow up on these people now, it would be nice to see their perspective
I was thinking the exact same thing
This gentleman should travel more and be grateful for pancakes. Justice for America is coming
November 3rd
This will be all over
Bye bye Trump 👋

The guy saying that “the socialist mindset” is that “people don’t have to work”…socialism is a system where the workers own the means of production. You know, ‘workers’ - people who work.
As if true socialists like us would EVER call ourselves “democrats” - just goes to show the biggest glue that keeps Trump supporters together is their total ignorance of politics, America, and the constitution.
This documentary really explains our situation from an international perspective. I thought I was biased because I'm a black American. This confirms that my feelings on the Trump administration are backed by some facts. This president is hurting people all across the board, unless you're wealthy, of course.
Are you black? Are you even American? Are you even real? I didn't ask for your dumb comment.
@J Carver what does some quote from a black man has to do with the current political situation, which this program tried to portray in an objective manner? Why the hell you want to argue with me, instead of actually saying something profound?
Like the educated person I am, I googled Thomas Sowell. He was an fine American that made a contribution to the black community. Thank you for that, but what does he have to do with either my comment or the documentary?
I thought I was biased because of how Trump's administration has affected me so personally. The program only confirms my fears, which I'm sure you didn't even watch.
@@kelleybrown1666 Don't waste your time arguing with trumpers, you will come up empty. They don't see reality, facts, or common sense. Just vote👍🏾
Do not let other Americans gaslight you. It's always good and wise to ask ourselves if we look through rose tinted glasses and if our motivations come from a place that may not be fair minded. Keep doing that :) but also remember that other Americans are NOT doing the same just as too many Germans did not question their own integrity in Nazi germany. I didn't like using the comparison till I realized how alarmingly true it was. Too many Americans are spoilt rotten on freedom and can't even recognize they're being played for fools by an emporer wannabe. Too ,any do not question their own integrity and biases. They don't even realize trump has gaslighted them and that they are gaslighting others. Like this docu said, tfg is still crawling around here being a menace to America society even after putting children in cages and helping 4-500,000 meet an early grave.
I'm just here to watch the video and all about America,it is a very good content for me,thank you DW Documentary.
I wonder what the people interviewed in this documentary think now.
at 19:28 is he arguing for more government assistance or less? Is it really a bad thing to make sure at the least that a poor family gets that nutrition and food by food stamps? If you economically see people as an asset that is just as important as road maintenance, hospitals etc. then I don't think that is necessarily a bad economic policy.
Percentage-wise some kids if they didn't have to worry about having food everyday can focus more on their studies. Or perhaps to boost more employment and diversification of the labour-force they can spend less worry and pursue jobs and government programs to get youth employed.
It is a sad inspiring story that he grew up having to eat pancakes but why should that be a thing to be celebrated?
"American is good for the world "???? stop fooling yourself
American is only good for its own interests. It cares for no one else.

is this a documentary or a Biden campaign promo?

Eating pancakes for dinner is not poverty
Totally agreed. Oh he ate pancakes for 3 days in a row! Please! How about only eating rice for weeks on end!
@@qtminx1819 or potatoes.. nothing cheaper and healthier than potatoes lol
The fuck? Yeah, it actually is. Pancakes are devoid of nutrients & full of sugar as is most of the standard American diet. Hence why so many poor people are morbidly obese. Poverty doesn't always look like emaciation.
Yes it is.

Please someone who can assist me with the name of sound track @0:20 I'll be grateful.
Wow... Really interesting to see different perspective of people from different walks of life...
Thank you for an interesting documentary. I found it fairly balanced in how it represented various points of view. Now, for my general comment; I sure hope the parents get a handle on their young daughter to make sure she understands the importance of civil servant qualifications. It's fine to want to see a woman in higher positions of leadership/authority (like President) but it's not fine to want it just because we've never had a female President. We need qualified people all the way around with depth and breadth of experience.
Very good. A female variant of Donald would have been equally the horror and shame of the country.
@@TheCandiceWang why could we not get something better then biden? Its making democrats look stupid. I mean everyone thought trump was the worst....until biden got in their. Man what a disaster.
@@TheCandiceWang I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
Now that he got voted out..Detrumpification is going to be hard, but not impossible..
In Lebanon, my country, democracy is a privilege that has been taken away from us long ago.
It's good to see that it's not the case here, and that the people get to have the last word after all.
This gave me a tiny bit of hope.
Good job America.
This business owner and his wife really blew my mind. Trump trying to do what's best... Proud, because America is helping the world... What kinda dream world are they living in?
it's remarkable that people perceive reality through filters that basically make them blind, or are subject to propaganda
I agree. They see what they want to. And as so very often, religion is on the scene. No one’s asking Trump to be a Saint only a decent, non divisive , non vindictive, non nepotistic, polite holder of the office of POTUS. He doesn’t read, doesn’t care for the environment, for people’s feelings,etc. He simply wants to hold on to power. I’m afraid he has degraded the presidency.
@@barbaraseymour3437 Trump degraded the presidency? Hardly. Bill Clinton beat him to it. You could say that all of them since 1960 have done so in little ways.
@@robertcuminale1212 no President has degraded and disrespected the office like Trump has.
No morals, disrespectful, racist, xenophobic,
and the list goes on. He has made America the laughing stock and most feared nation in the world with his Narcissism and Authoritarianism.

Yes. Read article ‘Trump’s Scientific Legacy’, October 24 issue, New Scientist. Especially enlightening on the Affordable Care Act.
Yeah truth, how blacks endlessly complain that they “don’t have it as good as other,” when colleges admit them with lower grades, they get hired on the spot regardless of how good they are because of laws for work “diversity.” The millions of them that sit on benefits instead of advancing their skills. It’s a joke. The left is as brain washed as the right in America. When idiots vote for generations you get what we have today, in the good ole USA!
The pendulum moves to the right and the left constantly I wish you would stay in the middle ...
The problem is that the middle keeps shifting to the right
Those cows are way to skinny and I don't think thay have a proper pasture. 😥😥😤😤
Of course they don’t. That’s American intensive farming for you.
These the government way of feeding them enough to keep them alive while pocket the extra cash. They kill the cows and put a high price for small amounts of meat cause poor cow was really starved and now they pockets double full. They shit us like 5× in one simple task. Then we buy the food and taxed😭😭😭😭

I wish I could know the name of the song that starts playing at 28:15. It's the only thing I liked about this documentary!

"What if Trump loses, but refuses to leave office?"
"I don't know how that's possible."
Oh honey, just you wait . . .
Problem is he didn’t loose I think most Americans see that more clearer now, the country is in a tail spin.
Very nice documentary. Well done.
Wow. A nurse who doesn’t think people should mask during a pandemic. That’s like a cop who doesn’t believe in enforcing laws. Nice. I feel bad for any person she administers care to.
