FRONTLINE went inside former President Trump’s high-stakes battle for control of the GOP, examining how he attacked fellow Republicans and used inflammatory rhetoric that rallied his base and further divided the country in his first year as president. Through interviews with longtime Republican legislators like former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), House Freedom Caucus members including Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), former senior White House officials including Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and other D.C. insiders, “Trump’s Takeover” examined how, years before the Jan. 6., 2021 U.S. Capitol attack, the president was remaking the GOP in his own image, counter-punching when criticized and publicly attacking those who defied him.

Politicians are traitors and criminals. Greed will always be the deciding factor in the way the vote.
Rather biased “documentary” (if that’s what you want to call it). Where are the statements and interviews from the Representatives and Senators who supported Trump? Much too biased and lopsided. Expected as much from a PBS production. This is why I no longer monetarily support PBS and I cannot recommend this video due to its lopsided reporting.
I’d like to see PBS/Frontline produce an unbiased and fair documentary on all of the democrats who are leaving the party, the 87,000 IRS agents to be hired, the failed and hyped promises of the Covid shots, the Afghanistan defeat, the billions of $ given to Ukraine, the Hunter Biden scandal. I’m sure there’s more but, sadly, I doubt that PBS will ever document these issues in an unbiased way.
TLDR: Useless (and corrupt) RINOs cry about losing their control of the R party to MAGA and are unable to re-gain control of it (unlike what they did to the Tea Party).
Make no mistake, they want full control of everyday conservatives. Trump just is/was in the way.
The fake news will always lie that’s no doubt, I believe trump because he continues to be right on every issue
I like people who served in the military. Trump's whole family didn't. Cowards.
When Lendowski states that Trump is a proven winner, that's not true he has been proven to be a complete loser as a businessman as a husband and as the president
When you guys going to talk about the tweeter file… TRUMP WAS RIGHT ✅️ ALL THIS TIME …
I’ve lived through the experiences being explained in this documentary. I was one of the people who had a fairly accurate idea what our nation faced as Trump entered the political arena in 2016. Looking back from 2022, I mourn what our lack of imagination unleashed upon our country, and I’m not certain that we can fully recover from this Orange Cancer.
Trump will most likely be president again. I only say that because if the Democrats choose to have Joe Biden run again, no matter who the Republican candidate is Republicans will win. Democrats need to lean towards someone young that they can build up.
Am I the only one who thought it was hilarious after months and months of rich celebrities, and media, pretty much laughing in your face when asked “if Trump had a chance of winning” then to see him win. I don’t know. I thought that was pretty funny because they were all dead wrong. So many celebrities said “there is no chance Trump will ever be present”
You guys might want to report truthfully from here on out… your time is short. The American people know the lies the media protrays.
Don't approve trump👎
As told by Republicans….
A bunch of syncophants.
Can’t wait for your next installment “From Takeover to Takedown. The piper and his merry idiots of followers”
You meet the criteria for a traitor who takes over his own country. All to line your pockets we're not going to let you do it anymore
Flake is a bieck!!!
I always thought Frontline was very well researched and unbiased. Not so sure about that anymore.
President Trump was wise to have brought many expert advisors around him who helped with policy and other decisions. The President made several overseas trips letting Nations know America is strong while limiting unjust international taxation. He was swift to retaliate against those who promoted terrorism. This necessary shift in government was not politics as usual but a rare move of God and We the People that brought much needed support to Israel. Obama's lack-thereof not only stole the Gaza strip territory but made Israel vulnerable to enemies. President Trump was about his followers who fueled his tenure and restored faith in the American Spirit. As the economy soared, President Trump let us know what could be accomplished. The President was right about the white supremacist movement being an all sides issue. Obama ushered in Black Lives Matter that created a wave of riots and racism against all. The need for fair judgement is why white men gathered at that time. President Trump's reply sent a clear message that peace involves all races, not just a select group. President Trump still has a heart for justice and We the People; Once our President, always our President.
President Trump added three Conservative Supreme Court Justices overturning Roe V Wade. With 65 million American lives taken, Trump truly made monumental strides in the history of our Nation.
Salute john McCain
The cowardice of Republicans, and their fealty to trump is what Is so reprehensible.
Lewandowski is the classic traitor nut sac licker with his total championing of trump’s grotesque personality.
However, all of the GOP that made the decision to roll along with him should never be forgotten or forgiven for their betrayal of their oath and
The Constitution.
We love trump they try n say the knew his every move . We love trump 💙💙🥇❕
Blacks still for trump always trying to bash him WE LOVE TRUMP 💙💙💙
Total B.S. Flake was what is wrong in Arizona.
Just like with Hitler: If only ONE man would hace stood up and punched him in the face, really hard, there would have been no World War II or any of the horrors that are still with us to this day. That Arizona senator should have kicked his ass in from of all of his team, just one punch, and that would have put an end to this dicktator, cheater, rapist, liar and traitor.
