Synopsis

In this graphic biography of Donald Trump, political cartoonist Ted Rall considers him to be 'a bit of an accidental authoritarian, perhaps even an accidental proto-fascist.' So where did this man come from? Here Trump's life story is told, going all the way back to his origins growing up a rich kid in the NY suburbs. Rall shows how Trump taps into a longing among many Americans for a strongman. He doesn't make many promises; his supporters don't expect many. He'll Make America Great Again. Somehow. Trust me, he says. And they do.
