It premieres this Friday November 1 wherever you rent your streaming movies – Prime, Apple, etc. As I've discussed on the show, it's not necessarily a political indictment of Donald, but it gives us a feel for how he became the monster we all know – a toxic mix of his own sociopathy, plus some Fred Trump toxicity, and a lot of Roy Cohn in there, too.
