Ten months after the debut of “Citizen Trump: A One Man Show,” director Robert Orlando is back with a clarifying Director’s Cut now available online. The newest Nexus Project film shows a “never before known” Trump. It debuts today as Simon & Schuster releases the book version on June 15.
The media has spent decades depicting Donald Trump as a political phenomenon/businessman. Still, the new film reveals the real Trump behind the media mask: Trump: the born showman and Hollywood producer/performer who uses media attacks as fuel to advance his America First agenda.
In Trump’s favorite film, “Citizen Kane,” confused reporters spend the whole time trying to figure out the famous Kane (Orson Welles). The predominantly black and white “Citizen Trump” film and book similarly show how Trump used his favorite movie to roadmap his way to “winning bigly,” leaving media dazed and clueless, unaware their antics were helping him.
“Citizen Trump” gives never before seen insights into the man who became a hero to 75 million supporters and a hated upstart “big daddy” rival to the media establishment that never understood him. So why did the media keep calling Trump dangerous? “Citizen Trump” reveals the strategy media figures and East/West Coast elites never comprehended.
“Trump loved the Citizen Kane film, and although he did not fully understand it, his life had many parallels, and it made for a worthy investigation,” Orlando reveals. “The hook for me was finding out – in light of the election – how parallel they were… Kane ends in tragedy after a spectacular rise and fall. Would Trump?”
