Plot

In the gripping and explosive documentary, "Trumping Democracy," we delve into the shadowy corridors of power that led to the unexpected ascension of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. The film unravels the intricate web spun by an ultra-conservative faction that subtly engineered a victory using a potent mix of misinformation, deception, and psychometrics. At the heart of this startling narrative is the enigmatic multi-billionaire, Robert Mercer. An elusive figure with immense influence, Mercer orchestrated a masterplan that extended its tendrils into the very core of the presidential campaign. The film illuminates his covert acquisition of Breitbart News and his strategic placement of Steve Bannon as the campaign manager. Yet, the film's intrigue deepens as it explores the role of the secretive Mercer company, Cambridge Analytica. Their chilling tactics, sharpened during the divisive UK's Brexit campaign, are laid bare. The company harvested data from millions of Americans through Facebook, Google, banks, credit companies, and even social security, identifying voters they deemed "most neurotic or worried." These were the individuals they believed could be swayed towards Trump. In the fraught days leading up to the election, Cambridge Analytica exploited a lesser-known feature on Facebook known as "dark posts." These posts, as elusive as they were manipulative, contained personalized messages meant for individual viewers before vanishing without a trace. In this murky world where data is king, democracy found itself outmaneuvered and trumped. "Trumping Democracy" offers a chilling exploration of the clandestine maneuvers and invisible power plays that can shape a nation's destiny. Watch as it lifts the veil on the dark corners of the web where democracy was not won, but bought.
