The film traces the path from Trump’s inaugural address, where the president ceased what he called “American carnage,” as well as the break-in protests at the U.S. Capitol. “Our film identifies how, for years, the country’s political leaders missed, ignored and discounted clear warnings of the violence and chaos that was to come,” Frontline Filmmaker Michael Kirk said. “America’s Great Divide: From Obama to Trump,” “Trump’s Takeover” and “United States of Conspiracy.”
As the Biden administration begins and Trump faces an unprecedented second impeachment trial, “Trump’s American Carnage” offers a powerful look at how the U.S. reached this volatile moment. The chaotic end of Donald Trump’s presidency was in many ways the inevitable result of four years of a president who caused massive controversy, which impacted the election.
