They're heeeeere. The movies about the Trump era.

Well, this started earlier than I thought. First out of the gate is Showtime with The Fourth Estate. A four part series about reporting in the Trump era and Trump's attacks on the press.

It makes sense that the Trump era movies and documentaries will be multiple, since so much has been going on, and everything is so complex, with so many tentacles. There are his attacks on the free press, attacks on the judiciary, attempts to ruin individual Congressmen, his behavior with women (past and present), his attacks on individual citizens, his history-making flip flops (statement one day that he literally states opposite view the next), his lies and detachment from reality, his narcissism, his focus on his election and inauguration numbers, his corruption, etc.

However, something to consider is that while Trump is still in power, doing an unflattering movie or documentary about him could mean he would attempt to ruin the production company, like he has tried to ruin Amazon (illegally). For that reason, I think the movies and documentaries made after he "leaves" office will be more truthful.

in the New Books section. Checked out It's Even Worse Than You Think by David Cay Johnston even as I was asking myself if I really want to know. Haven't started to read it yet.
