In 2016, the real estate mogul and reality show star surprisingly defeats favorite Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House and becomes the 45th<\/sup> president of the United States. After his election defeat by Joe Biden in 2020, he makes a spectacular and controversial political comeback.<\/p>\n

With his victory against Democrat Kamala Harris in November 2024, he is now facing his second term in office. How has he managed this, despite all the scandals? Who is Donald Trump, and what events from his childhood and youth have shaped him? What is the key to his success and to what extent is Trump a reflection of the often-cited \u201ctorn\u201d United States?[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ disable_custom_paddings_mobile=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1590585294391{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Press<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Humiliation as a trigger – that’s how Donald Trump ticks. … A dark history lesson that has only one catch: the worst is probably yet to come.”<\/em><\/a> Stern<\/p>\n

“The documentary assembles an impressive array of experts and companions.”<\/em><\/a> Gala<\/p>\n

“The documentary … maintains the arc of suspense between facts and thrill, also known as infotainment, with confidence. From this perspective, the documentary is actually a horror shocker.”<\/em><\/a> nd<\/p>\n
