Tired clichés and transparent manipulation. Another Moore flop
23 October 2016
Long after Michael Moore's heyday, before he was exposed as a shameless propagandist, Moore continues to use the same tricks, this time with even less success. TrumpLand ignores important context, fails to support its outlandish smears, and generally vomits back nothing more than the tired slander everyone has already heard from CNN and the NYT. This film brings literally nothing novel to the table, failing even to correct the early and often debunked complaints such as Trump's "support for the Iraq war" and the idea that he started a "racist" birther movement against Obama. This movie is essentially a sloppy recap of every scandal the DNC has issued right before each debate, with even less objectivity and without even the pretense of journalistic ethics. The poor production quality, wandering narrative, and internal inconsistencies do nothing to prop up this coughing, aged, corpse of a movie.
