“Itu0026#39;s pretty decent, but also slightly disappointing, because this could have been great.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts timeliness was its greatest asset, given that it took place during the crazy year of 2016 (which of course was upended by Tw*nty-Tw*nty, mind you), among Trumpu0026#39;s inevitably successful run for President. Yet its timeliness may have also been its greatest undoing, as it feels rushed. Itu0026#39;s short, the editing feels awkward sometimes, and itu0026#39;s just a little off as a whole… despite some very good parts here and there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe personal focus on a couple of people from Scotland was a good call, and it was nice that they got a brief interview with Trump himself this time round. While it builds well off the first, it also uses quite a lot of footage from that film, making me think it was done to fill some time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo mixed feelings… with a bit more work, it couldu0026#39;ve been great, but then maybe it wouldnu0026#39;t have been released until 2017, so double-edged sword kind of deal…”
