Life of ex-US President (45th) Donald Trump is quite deserving of the silver screen. The journey of Trump’s life, from being a real estate developer to a media figure — that includes making the reality series ‘The Apprentice’ — to assuming the office of the US President, to being attempted for assassination in July 2024,

is all about ups and downs. Whether it is his fame as a businessperson/mass media figure, his fame as a result of his many legal battles, or his behavior as a president, he has, for more than 30 years, been one of the most controversial individuals on the planet. Below, we present to you the top films and series featuring Donald Trump on Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Prime.

14. Active Measures (2018)

Based on government interviews and archival footage, the movie investigates the suspected connections between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin uncovered by the FBI and the scandal involving Cambridge Analytica. The scandal entailed the consulting firm Cambridge Analytica, which utilized the private data of millions of Facebook users without their permission to help Trump’s presidential campaign.

13. Bad President (2021)

Param Gill’s fantasy comedy drama ‘Bad President’ is set in the premise that Donald Trump was elected as the US President in 2015 by making a pact with the Devil. Seeding his next target, Luther (the Devil) contacts Trump. He bullies him into his machinations, effectively making him gain a candidacy for the presidential candidacy in order to “make America great again.” Starring Eddie Griffin as Luther and Jeff Rector as Donald Trump, ‘Bad President’ is a straight-up whacky film that gives us a hyperbolic glimpse at the polarizing figure.

9. Trump: The Reckoning (2021)

The protesters sought to stop the ratification of Joe Biden’s win. The movie provides a clear glimpse into Trump’s changing of the presidency, which brought two impeachments (the second one being a consequence of the attack itself), political maneuvers, and social media manipulation during the course of four years of his presidency, and how it resulted in the attacks, resulting in the killing of 5 individuals, and injuring over 150.

The ACLU continues to battle against the Trump administration, which has undermined travel by Muslim nationals into the nation, enacted abortion legislation, and legislation excluding transgender individuals from applying to the military, and so on. Unvarnished in its portrayal of the plight of thousands of individuals, and how a group of individuals chose to challenge the government on its erroneous and inhumane actions, ‘The Fight’ deserves its name and a place on our list.

The documentary is available for viewing on Prime.

Directed by Alex Gibney, Ophelia Harutyunyan, and Suzanne Hillinger, ‘Totally Under Control’ presents the Trump administration’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic in a candid way by pitting it against the way South Korea managed it. Released about 10 months into the first case being recorded, the movie goes into the failures in great detail, revealing malfunctioning test kits, communication issues between agencies, changed messages about the virus’ ill effects, and so on. By the time this film came out, 220,000 Americans had died, and in South Korea, it stood at 447. Though the creators do not point fingers directly at the Trump administration, they give us interviews of doctors and journalists to make the facts clear-cut and pointed, and yes, it does hurt. Saddening, infuriating, and filled with appalling facts, ‘Totally Under Control’ demonstrates how the entire situation was the complete opposite for the Trump government.
