AMANDA WALKER: Donald Trump is fighting for his political life.

America is gripped by a pandemic...

Many call it a flu. What difference?

..with a monumental election just weeks away.

Whoo!

The reality-star president was supposed to cruise into a second term

on a strong economic wave.

ALL: (CHANTING) USA. USA.

But he's now presiding over a recession,

mass unemployment...

..and a profoundly divided nation.

I am your president of law and order.

His hopes of victory are fading, but he isn't letting go.

Nobody likes me. It can only be my personality.

Since the beginning, I've watched him bulldoze his way through a barrage of scandal.

But the tell-all books,

allegations of corruption and sexual assault -

even ultimate impeachment - have failed to topple him.

To impeach the President of the United States for that is a disgrace.

His supporters call him Teflon Don.

I want to know if this crisis is finally penetrating his support.

States like Pennsylvania

made Trump president.

Each time I've come here to gauge the latest controversy,

I've found nothing but loyalty.

But lately, life has been turned upside down.

It's the beginning of a long, hot, turbulent summer.

Hi, there. How you doing? Good.

Andrew Nagle's livelihood depends on Donald Trump's popularity.

How's business? It's terrific.

Why do you think that is?

Well, they love him. And besides that...

I think he's Mr Law And Order.

That's what people want right now?

People are very threatened.

Feel very threatened.

You're not worried about his chances?

I wouldn't be doing this if I was. (LAUGHS)

I got a lot on the line. Yeah. You're invested in it. Yes, I am.

I have another one that says -

MAN:

See? There. Hello. Sir,

driver just said, "Trump scum." Do you get a lot of that?

Ah...probably five... five do it in one day.

Go, Trump. (LAUGHS)

So, what's catching your eye today? Probably a flag.

Uh-huh. And I think I might get a shirt.

We're not afraid. Why would you be afraid?

Cos people are nasty.

He just says what's on his mind.

That's what this one says. Yeah, exactly.

Trump - no BS. That's what I...

You gonna go for this one?

That's the t-shirt I'm getting.

Cos he doesn't take any shit from anybody.

MAN:

This is Luzerne County.

After decades of backing Democrats,

this region went all-in for Trump.

At the summit of a disused coal hill,

fireworks are being lined up for a Fourth of July spectacular.

Most towns have cancelled their displays this year,

but after months in coronavirus lockdown, the organisers of this one

are determined to shower their town with some much-needed sparkle.

I've brought a big crowd for you today.

You're gonna have a lot of people here tonight.

Yeah, I think we will. Should be a fun day. Happy Fourth.

The pandemic cloud is still keeping much of America at home.

This area is scarred from once having

the highest positive test rate in the country.

But Hazleton officials know there are plenty of folks

craving at least a brief reminder of how life used to be.

It will take more than a passing storm

to defeat the Fourth of July spirit.

What does it mean to be out here this evening?

Life's not been normal, has it? To say the least.

MAN: Cheers! WOMAN: It sucks.

This is what it means.

Nobody is stopping us from being American. Nobody.

How would you characterise America right now?

I mean, we're wearing masks.

There's riots in the streets. Statues are coming down.

I don't think we've ever been further apart in this country

than we are right now.

You can't make everybody stay in the house forever.

Like somebody said, "Would you rather die from the disease, or die because you don't have a job?"

Does life feel normal yet? WOMAN: No.

No.

(ROCK BAND PLAYING)

Most people here haven't been watching every twist and turn of these few months.

They've been living difficult lives

and this is a welcome bit of normality.

People aren't obsessing over the upcoming election,

but most already know where they stand.

You voted for him in 2016.

Are you as sure on 2020?

Yeah. Mm-hm. I knew who I was voting for.

I knew I wasn't voting for a politician.

He built one of the best economies.

Unfortunately, that's not the case now.

But I'm confident he'll bring us back.

He puts America first all the time, which is what we need in a president.

Polls at the moment aren't good - I don't believe the polls.

I didn't believe the polls in 2016.

They had him losing all the way...

and that didn't happen.

WOMAN: # And the home...

In a normal election year,

grassroots campaigning would be in full swing here by now.

But this year's Fourth of July is totally unique.

(CHEERING)

(REGAL CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Thousands of miles away,

the President is putting on his own show.

In the dramatic shadow of Mount Rushmore,

he delivers a dark, divisive message.

Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history,

defame our heroes, erase our values

and indoctrinate our children.

Their goal is not a better America.

Their goal is to end America.

But know the American people are strong and proud

and they will not allow our country...

..and all of its values, history and culture

to be taken from them.

It is really just a pitch to his base.

"America is under siege from the left."

"Your way of life is under threat."

They want to silence us, but we will not be silenced.

(CHEERING AND WHISTLING)

(FIREWORKS POPPING AND CRACKLING)

The President barely mentions the pandemic.

By this point, more than 120,000 Americans have died.

Millions have been infected.

And the election is just four months away.

To really understand the grip Trump holds in the Rust Belt,

you have to come to places like Lattimer,

an old coal-mining township.

If you go by yard signs and flags, this area is all about Trump,

and these are proud Trump supporters.

Joe Biden barely gets a look in.

The billionaire who people knew from the TV

promised an economic miracle for these towns.

It hasn't materialised

but still notions of Trump's failures of leadership,

or suggestions that he might lose, don't penetrate.

(CHATTER IN BACKGROUND)

WOMAN: Hello. (LAUGHS)

After weeks of barely setting foot outdoors...

..the Synoski family want their small Fourth of July gathering

to go with at least some kind of bang.

Come on, wind! Come on! Blow this way! (ALL GROAN)

Has he been the right leader for you?

Has he said the things to make you feel better in a really difficult time?

I think if somebody else besides Mr Trump...

I think we'd be in a whole lot more other trouble than what we're in.

Are you happy with what the President has done?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm extremely happy.

I support him fully. I think he's doing a great job.

You know, I like his speeches.

I think he talks to the people very well.

He's safeguarding the American... Immigration.

He wants the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms.

He's bringing the troops home. Right.

He wants to bring the troops home, you know.

The economy was going to be his very solid platform...

It was doing quite well. ..for a second term. Are you worried?

No. I know it's gonna bounce back just as strong as it did.

I really do. As long as they re-elect him.

Right.

How did you all benefit personally from what Trump did to the economy?

My life didn't change, but if you see the statistics with unemployment and everything,

the country in a whole benefited.

Not necessarily myself, or probably nobody here,

benefited from him being president.

But I think... There was a sense of improvement?

..America in a whole, you know, benefited.

My stocks were up more. Stock markets were doing good.

But now they're not doing so well. (THEY LAUGH)

He loves his stocks. (LAUGHTER)

He likes to tinker in stocks. ANITA: Oh, yeah.

The media and political establishment have no hold here.

Do you trust what you hear?

No, not one bit. I don't know. I don't know what to believe. You know, sometimes...

But I believe in Trump.

There you go. Happy Fourth. Happy Fourth.

Trump's diehard supporters are proud to stand up for him.

They almost relish the fight.

When you hear the view that Trump has failed on coronavirus,

what do you say? What's your definition of failure?

They're gonna say that he hasn't acted fast enough? Who acted faster?

He says coronavirus will disappear, though. It's not disappearing.

I don't see the effect of it.

Me, personally.

I mean, like, I hear, like, we talk about it, like...

I want zombies. I want heads falling off.

I want arms falling off.

Is Trump the right man for this moment?

I absolutely believe he's the perfect man for the moment.

And to be real honest with you...

..I believe this is...

this is divine.

We are in something much more than just the here and now.

But we are in a spiritual battle of evil and good. God put...

There was something bigger at play when Trump became president?

Absolutely. Yep.

In Washington,

few people have ever fully grasped the Trump appeal.

Is he there?

Oh, OK, fine. Hello, Mr Gingrich.

It's Amanda here in Washington. How are you?

Newt Gingrich is spending his lockdown in Italy,

where his wife is Trump's ambassador to the Vatican.

He's been called the father of Trumpism.

To him, it makes perfect sense.

I think that they were looking for

an insurgent against the Washington establishment.

I think they felt that they had been economically cheated

by various trade policies,

that they'd been culturally attacked by the left.

And it's amazing, for example,

how many people were Obama-Trump voters

who sort of skipped past Hillary and voted for Trump?

And I think it was part of a degree to which they wanted him to be a very disruptive force.

That passion, that energy, that people felt for him in 2016,

is it passing? Is it fading?

There's no evidence that it's fading.

He's somebody who has had to cope with a Chinese virus,

turned around, created a depression by closing down the government,

imposed government restrictions on keeping people at home.

You think about all the things he's dealt with since February,

it's kind of astonishing that he's still standing.

And I think his coalition,

basically, the core base of Trumpism,

that base is very solid.

Next, my journey takes me to the edges of Trump's support

where some people are losing faith.

We're all wearing face masks now.

Everywhere you go. The whole world has changed.

Oh. Oh, no. I was worried that was poop.

Watch out. We have some "land mines".

This is the goose. Oh, yeah.

The rescued goose. Uh-huh.

Hello.

Supposedly, it's gonna fly away on us.

Really?

It'll either join its group

or it'll come back with a mate.

I think the goose now thinks it's a dog.

Since retiring, John Crilly has been rescuing animals

and breeding Golden Labs.

I'm afraid a Labrador puppy will always win the cute stakes.

He's smelly, though. Aren't you?

Oh, my goodness. Look at you. I know.

Four dogs and goose live in harmony?

Four dogs, goose and a cat. And a cat.And a cat. Yeah.Hi.

That's about it.

Batteries, don't fail me.

(STARTER MOTOR WHINES AND ENGINE STARTS)

Navy veteran John still has big passion

for the vehicles he used to drive for a living.

It'll run like that all day.

That's a 1977 John Deere, model 500.

It works.

Were you excited by the prospect of Trump?

Yes, we were.Why? Because it was was change.

I liked his strength. I liked his...

his moxie.

In the beginning, he had a lot of energy

and it was, "Drain the swamp. Drain the swamp."

It sounds like, initially, for you, Trump was a breath of fresh air.Yes.

Politically. I'd go with a breath of...

fresh air, but yet...

..feeling also like we could get something for our country

instead of always beginning to be put last

and paying all the bills for everybody else.

Where are you now? In good conscience,

I cannot vote for Trump.

This... I can't do it.

For one thing, he seemed to just completely ignore the science

of what, you know, the head scientists were telling him on Covid.

He's still sitting there, skipping along, thinking,

"Ah. It's just like the flu. Everybody's fine."

You know what? We're all wearing face masks now.

Everywhere you go, the whole world has changed.

And this guy is refusing to believe it.

He's out there putting on big displays with huge people in auditoriums without masks.

That's insane. Based on everything, he's horrible.

A complete F. Do you feel disappointed?

Yes, absolutely disappointed

in the way that the Covid has been handled.

I'm not gonna vote for Trump.

I wouldn't. No.

The hardcore Trump support is still pretty unshakable...

Oh, it's OK.

..but on its softer outer edges, there is undeniably a change.

Some people are breaking ranks

and there are people in Washington who want more of it.

Do you sense that coronavirus in particular

is really having a significant impact on his support?

Yes. What I hear from these voters is,

"I wasn't paying that much attention."

The thing that happened with the pandemic hitting

is that everybody was driven inside their houses,

watching the news, looking for information,

and they watched Donald Trump's press conferences and were actually horrified.

Supposing we hit the body

with a tremendous...

whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light.

Supposing you brought the light inside the body,

which you can do either through the skin or...

in some other way.

A disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute.

And is there a way we can do something like that...

by injection inside or... or almost a cleaning?

One of the things that I heard from voters all the time is, "The stakes are just too high now."

What we've been through in the last five months is a health crisis

that's caused an economic crisis,

that's had a racial crisis on top of it.

And in every single instance,

Donald Trump has made each one of those things worse,

through either his purposeful division or his rank incompetence.

How far outside the norm is this presidency?

Well, it's not even close.

It was... It was like something out of a bad novel.

No discipline, no order, no sense of priorities.

Despite efforts by a number of people to correct that, it did not get any better.

John Bolton was Trump's National Security Advisor

and a staunch lifelong Republican.

He is the latest high profile defector from the party.

His insights into Trump's behaviour come from up close.

You were in the room.

How would you characterise Donald Trump's leadership?

He's not philosophically grounded.

And what that means is that objectives are not clear.

Strategy is not delineated. And I think in the context

of the coronavirus pandemic, in particular,

the United States has not followed a strategy at all.

It's completely ad hoc, almost random.

This moment, given the gravity of it and given the unprecedented nature of it,

you don't think it is changing the President or his approach?

He doesn't think he needs to change.

He thinks what he needs to do is get re-elected.

That's the goal? That's everything?

I don't see any other unifying theme in his...in his presidency.

What's interesting about Donald Trump is that the thing that he could do

to help himself politically,

is to do his job even remotely competently.

I'm sensing real urgency from you.

What is at stake here?

Liberal democracy is at stake.

The Western alliance is at stake.

Democracy in the United States is very strong.

We can withstand a... a term of Donald Trump.

I'm not sure we can withstand two terms of Donald Trump.

One of the places anti-Trumpers are targeting this summer

is North Carolina...

..which, last time, Trump won by a thin margin.

This time, state polls are giving his rival Joe Biden

a consistent, sometimes strong lead, making it a ripe battleground state.

Which president would you say is your hero?

Who kind of sums up "Republican"? Ronald Reagan would obviously be...

He's the one? Yes, I think Ronald Reagan was.

His book here. That's his notes from when he was at the White House.

Would Reagan have approved of Trump?

Reagan probably would've approved of Trump,

but actually given him some Twitter advice, I guess. (LAUGHS)

Dr Phillip Stephens is from a long line of local Republicans.

He's now the chairman of the crucial Robeson County Republican Party.

Is there a Republican revolt against Donald Trump?

The Republicans that are against the President,

I think they've always been against him.

You don't see them as a growing force?

No, I don't see as a growing force. I see them as a dinosaur dying force.

If you go by what's being reported nationally,

Trump is in trouble,

but here on the grassroots level,

it can be an alternate universe.

Is Donald Trump gonna win in 2020?

If he wins this county, he wins the whole nation by a landslide.

There's a lot of people out there

who would say that is a very optimistic outlook

based on polling we're seeing now which paints a pretty dire picture.

And I'll refer you to every single reporter I talked to in 2016

who asked... who said the exact same thing.

Oh, only worse. Only worse.

People are more optimistic about the 2020 election.

They weren't 2016. The media tends to attack him.

If Donald Trump was walking on water,

people would say he couldn't swim.

And, quite frankly, it's actually helping him.

People don't realise it helps the President.

So he thrives in a fight? When the media attacks Donald Trump,

you're just feeding into his game. He loves that.

He's a master at it. He's great at it.

And I think that's what this blue collar common man appreciates.

The more people attack him,

actually, the more it puts him in a position

of running as someone who's fighting against something larger than himself.

This is a refrain I've heard time and time again -

that the fight fuels the Trump fire.

The fake news. Right? The fake news.

It's grievance politics. It's why his tribe is so willing to give him a pass.

AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!

What speaks most strongly to them

is his overall attitude,

that spirit of defiance.

For God and country!

You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

Arresting her for walking on a sidewalk!

Are you serious?! I love you, North Carolina!

We love you too, Ashley!

I knew I'd get arrested when I stepped on the sidewalk.

I knew that I was gonna be making a stand

that was going to cause me to get arrested.

Ashley Smith is taking a stand against the restrictions

designed to slow the spread of Covid 19.

Here in North Carolina, she co-founded

the first state-wide ReOpen organisation in America.

She says tens of thousands of people have joined her cause,

claiming that the measures defy the American way of life.

America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

But we will not remain that way

if the brave do not stand up and make sure that we remain free.

Where do you sit on face masks? I'm totally against it. Totally opposed.

Rights of Americans cannot be infringed on

for any purpose.

Aren't you infringing on people's right to be safe and healthy? No. Absolutely not. No.

What right - As they reopen -

Wait a minute. Let's get back to that.

Where in the constitution does it say you have a right to be safe and healthy?

I've never read it and I've read it many, many times.

What about Donald Trump?

It took him a long time to wear a mask.

Do you think he wanted to wear one? Absolutely not.

Think he was pushed into it?

I think that he has done what he's felt has been the best

that he could do in the situations that he's faced.

We've spoken to people who've lost people,

who can't believe that people are defying masks,

who feel very angry and upset about that.

I mean, that's their right to feel angry.

No-one said they didn't have a right to feel the way they feel.

I'm not saying human life doesn't matter.

What I'm saying is... Human life...

We're all... Dying is a part of life.

Are you gonna go live in a bubble?

I mean, where are you willing to draw the line?

How much of your freedom are you willing to give up to be safe? Really?

And at what point can you stop calling that living

and just calling it existing?

Because that's not what America is built on.

America is a country born out of rebellion.

Are you a rebel? Absolutely. Yeah.

Till the day I die. Yeah.

There's a view out there that this is all being heightened by Democrats and scientists

to try and stop Donald Trump getting re-elected. Do you subscribe to that?

I think it's absolutely a possibility

based on all the other politics that have been played in this whole scenario.

Yeah.

I mean, it's obvious that they're playing politics, at this point.

The scientists? These Democrats, absolutely.

What about the scientists who are impartial?

Who've studied for years, who know more than any of us do.

What about the scientists who say this is all nonsensical

and we can go back to our normal lives, that this was all...

I think they're a minority.I don't. I haven't even heard them.

You haven't heard them because the mainstream media is not giving them a platform.

So if a vaccine comes out early next year, are you taking it? Absolutely not. No.

Cos you wouldn't trust it? No, absolutely not. No.

Yeah!

This kind of defiance of science and fact

has presented a real challenge

for the people battling coronavirus up close.

(HORNS TOOTING)

How do you think the President's behaviour has impacted this situation?

Because we've seen him make wrong predictions about when it's all going to be over.

There's a refusal around masks.

What Donald Trump does very well is drive wedges.

That's his political strategy.

It's, you know, the old saying, "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Well, he has one political move and he does it very, very well.

"You're on my side or you're on their side."

And so...

when he disparages mask wearing and makes fun of it, they don't want to wear masks.

When he attacks governors for their shutdown orders

and encourages people to protest

and to demand that the government's opened up,

that's what his followers do.

To have again, this sort of Heckler in Chief

and conspiracy theorist with the biggest megaphone on Earth

working against you is just...

is an incredible situation

and a tragic situation because it is costing lives.

Coming up, I meet voters who've been

driven away by the President's record on racism.

Is it a mistake for President Trump to disregard this movement? It's a big mistake.

(CHEERING)

I employ a lot of people in North Carolina.

Campaign rallies are where you get Trump unleashed.

Attacks, insults, conspiracies run wild.

Coronavirus means they just can't happen right now.

But in 2016, they were the engine of his campaign.

Back then, this stop in Fayetteville, North Carolina,

took a very dark turn.

Ah, look.

A black protester inside the venue was attacked by a Trump supporter.

Whoo! Yeah! Get him out!

In the good old days, this doesn't happen

because they used to treat them very, very rough...

(CHEERING) ..and when they protested once,

you know, they would not do it again so easily.

The violence that took place here

led to early accusations that Trump was creating a safe space for racism.

What's more fun than a Trump rally?

Right. (CHEERING)

Zach Berly was there.

Things got pretty nasty, at one point?

Yeah, it was disturbing.

At certain points during the rally,

People would stand up in ones or twos,

and then start to shout,

and the whole crowd - immediately Trump would stop -

and the whole crowd would turn and boo and jeer.

Protesters inside... Yes, exactly.

..were not treated kindly by Trump supporters?No.

Terrible language was being shouted at them.

The first people that could get their hands on them would before the police would.

And then they'd be escorted out - sometimes rather gently, and at other times quite not.

Trump seemed to revel in that, didn't he?

He was fanning the flames rather than trying to keep - He fed off that energy for sure.

That negativity that was rising up, he felt,

and then he used to continue to get the crowd hyped up.

Earlier this year, Zach submitted a video, a political confession of sorts.

Every day since November 8th, 2016,

Donald Trump has proven to me

that voting for him was the greatest mistake of my life.

I haven't had the opportunity until recently to say I'm sorry for it.

I'm willing to tell anyone who's been affected by it that I'm sorry.

You're sorry for voting for Trump? Absolutely.

I think that some people are willing to say that it was the wrong decision,

but I don't know that enough are willing to say sorry.

I think there has been irreparable damage

done to groups of people since then and to America as a whole. For that, I'm sorry.

You can take all the first three years of his presidency and say,

"Impeachment, The Mueller Report, all those things are bad."

But then you get to the coronavirus,

and you get to something like Black Lives Matter protests, that transcend all of that.

When it comes to human beings' lives, that's the sort of crisis you want a president to deal with.

(SHOUTING) Hey! Chill! Chill! Chill!

Hey! Chill! Chill!

Rakeem Jones was on the receiving end of that Fayetteville rally attack.

He says he would feel very differently going in there now.

Can you just describe what it was like in terms of the atmosphere?

It was tense, but that was only after Donald Trump came out.

It's like something activated.

In everybody. It was a mob mentality of, "If you're not with us, get out."

We got the power now. I wish a person would try to hit me. You've got the power now?

We're going in that Trump rally and I dare a person to put their hands on me

and I dare the police to put their hands on me.

The anti-racism movement that's sweeping America

is what's empowered Rakeem.

He now spends his days here, camped out in front of

the city's historic Market House where slaves were once sold.

Protesters want it torn down.

This protest is one of thousands that have been taking place nationwide.

The police killing of George Floyd sent an urgent message to America.

I can't breath! I can't breathe!

Mass demonstrations have taken place across the country -

the largest protest movement in America's history.

When the nation was crying out for empathy,

the President chose to crack down.

I am your President of Law and Order...

..and an ally of all peaceful protesters.

But in recent days...

our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists,

violent mobs, arsonists, looters,

criminals, rioters, Antifa and others.

If a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary

to defend the life and property of their residents,

then I will deploy the United States military

and quickly solve the problem for them.

The President's hard line law and order message

has divided the nation even further.

As a re-election strategy, it could be a gamble.

We're getting way more support than they.

How would you describe the atmosphere here?

You see what it is. It's families.

We're helping the young people out.

So when Donald Trump talks about the rioters, the looters...

This is the reality of rioters and looters.

You got pastors. You got former military.

You got teachers. You got people that are studying.

So, what's bringing you all together?

Change. Serious.

Change. We want a change.

No justice... No peace!

No justice... No peace!

Polls suggest that most Americans support demonstrations against racism.

Hands up. Don't shoot!

Hands up. Don't shoot!

This is the most important moment for civil rights in America since the 1960s...

..and the opposition movement against Trump

is hoping that it will drive people to register and to vote.

For the Waller family, this election is crucial for their future.

Why was it important for you to have your kids at that protest?

So they'll...

One day it'll be etched in history that my kids were there.

That they were part of a moment of change?Yeah.

If it changes. We're hoping. Do you think it will?

I don't know. I pray it'll change.

I don't know if it's gonna change or not.

How do you feel about your president's response to this moment?

It's embarrassing. Does he represent you?

Not me. Who does he represent?

To me, white people.

To me, he's not a leader. He's not. It's just embarrassing.

It embarrasses me because I was in the military,

went to different countries and...

You know, I know our president is actually supposed to represent us, supposed to speak for us.

What do you think other countries think?

That he's a racist. That he doesn't care about these other countries. He's a bully.

How important is it for people to get out and vote?

Jesus. It's very important.

The only way we can really make the change is to vote.

Can anyone who is pitching themselves as a president for white Americans

realistically win the election

in 2020?

How did you come up with that?

Every single African-American voter I've spoken to

has said to me, "This president does not represent me."

He has chosen to be very specific about who he's targeting.

Can he win with that strategy?

Well, I don't agree with your definition of that strategy.

I don't think that Trump thinks that's his strategy at all.

He's done more to create jobs in the black community.

Most of his effort right now to stop crime

directly saves African-American lives

in neighbourhoods where their political leadership has failed them totally.

The fact is, there are a lot of policemen who are African-American.

I suspect they will tell you that they like Trump a lot more than they like the Democrats

who want to defund them, ridicule them and attack them.

So I just... I don't buy your characterisation.

Is he pitching himself as the president for white America?

Yes. It's beyond a dog whistle.

And this is the problem for me

with the last three and a half years,

is it has been a time of perpetual gaslighting of America.

Now you look at something like that and you say, "That is very clear."

Me and my own two eyes can see

that that is a foghorn, not a dog whistle, racially.

What do we want? Justice!

Is it a mistake for President Trump to disregard this moment? To disregard this movement?

It's a big mistake.

If they don't recognise what's going on

and actually try to join instead of trying to hinder it,

it's gonna backfire on him in a major way.

Something interesting, talking about Donald Trump.

This lady right there, right there behind us,

she will tell you, "I voted for Donald Trump last year."

I voted for Trump. What was the appeal?

Just how he promised things

and how he would help everybody and bring us all together,

when in reality he's done everything opposite of what he said.

What's your message to your president?

Just leave. Just leave. We need somebody new.

We need to make sure we put the right person in office this time,

not just get some freak show in the office

just to make us laugh on TV any more.

It's time to get down to business. Everybody's had their fun.

He's made his jokes, we've made jokes back at him.

It's time for the orange man to leave.

We saw what happened to George Floyd and...

Whoa, you know, let's think about this.

Hundreds of thousands of communities across the nation

with people spontaneously saying, "OK, we need to deal with this. This is a problem."

So why wouldn't the President at least pretend to get it?

Is it because he is so terrified of turning off the base?

Yes. And maybe he correctly reads his base

or maybe he underestimates his base.

Maybe he thinks his base is more racist than it actually is.

I know for a fact that his pollsters and his political people

are telling him, "No. No, this is not a winner.

This is not happening, Mr President.

This is not... You know, look at your numbers.

This is not where people are."

Is this moment going to be the ebbing away of his support?

Well, I think it could go in the other direction, too.

I mean, I... You should never underestimate

the ability of the Democratic Party to blow an election.

Just to give one example, the rioting that's going on in Portland,

I think, is strengthening Trump's base.

And I think if this persists, if it spreads to other cities,

it will materially increase his chances of winning

because it's guaranteed to produce a reaction in Trump's favour.

Next, a look at what is at stake

in this once-in-a-lifetime election.

This is the most important election in the history of our country.

Donald Trump has been the most disruptive president in living memory.

The last four years have been a turbulent, often shocking political spectacle.

I started out in July to gauge the national mood.

Now it feels like existing divides are being pushed to a point

that at times feels completely irreparable.

Coronavirus is still punishing this country.

Some six million Americans have been infected.

Around 200,000 have died...

Black lives matter!

..and in cities of all sizes,

protests against racial injustice continue.

In some places, social unrest has once again turned violent,

even deadly.

This is the background against which Americans must choose their next president.

This election is seen by many as the most significant for generations.

(APPLAUSE)

Joe Biden is not a saviour of America's soul.

He is the destroyer of America's jobs.

And, if given the chance, he will be the destroyer of American greatness.

As campaigning enters its final weeks,

two wildly different versions of America are being offered.

Character's on the ballot.

Compassion is on the ballot.

Decency, science, democracy, they're all on the ballot.

And President Trump has already begun

sowing distrust in the outcome.

The Democrats are also trying to rig the election

by sending out tens of millions of mail-in ballots,

using the China virus as the excuse

for allowing people not to go to the polls.

Where are these ballots going? Who's getting them?

Who is NOT getting them?

Will they be taken from the mail men and the mail women?

Will they be counterfeited by groups inside our nation?

Casting doubt over the election is a pretty dangerous thing to do.

Isn't it? It's an incredibly dangerous thing to do.

But he likes to play with fire.

So, yes, he's going to undermine the result of the election.

I've never seen a moment quite like this in the United States.

America now has to choose between the Trump disruption

or the man who represents a return to the political status quo.

In my journey through the Trump heartlands,

it wasn't hard to find his supporters who see him as a guardian of their values.

And I'm coming out with a shirt and I'm gonna send him one.

It's gonna say, "Trump 2020. Preserving America."

Preserving America. That's the way people see him.

I think Donald Trump's Donald Trump.

I don't think he's out to divide.

I think he's out to...he's... make America great again.

So, are you worried about his chances?

No No.

No. I think he'll be re-elected.

Do you think there is an effort to bring down President Trump?

I think there is an effort to bring down a specific way of life

that Donald Trump represents.

Trump gave a voice to these people and they will stick by their man,

as they've done in every other fight for the last four years.

You genuinely seem to have no doubt about his chances.

No, we're going about our job as usual.

Some of the Trump circle will come down and sweep through the county.

Cos they know how important it is? They know how important this county is.

While I did find an increasing number of Trump voters

who've lost faith in the President,

we just don't know if there are enough of them to turn the tide.

Some people are just diehard Trump supporters.

They don't care. No matter what, they're gonna vote for Trump.

Do you think his support has dwindled during this time?

Yes.

Are you sensing that from family and friends? Absolutely.

Family, friends, Facebook friends.

What about the people who just like Trump, who like the way he talks

and just think, "Yeah, he's my guy. He represents me." Are they enough?

I don't see that the percentage of voters he has that are committed is enough to win an election.

It is undeniable that there's been

an enormous surge of opposition against what Trump represents.

I don't think he'll get voted as president again.

Because of this moment? Because of this and Covid 19.

Republicans, even though they're not saying they're embarrassed, I believe they're embarrassed.

Does Donald Trump understand this?

I don't think he does.

I think he's choosing to ignore it. And...

Could that hurt him? Yes, it could hurt him.

Donald Trump will not win in November.

Not as long as there's people like us here.

Now, if everybody... If all this stopped right now, he might got a chance.

GINGRICH: My guess is that Trump will win a surprisingly big victory.

That the Republicans will probably take the House

and actually will probably gain seats in the Senate.

And people will look back and say, "Gee,"

why do we believe the polls two times in a row when they were so wrong?"

If Donald Trump wins, America and the world

must steel itself for a journey that could be even more frenzied.

What if he gets four more years?

Then I think it's much more serious.

The best advice I would give to the rest of the world

is that Donald Trump is an anomaly.

Mistakes happen in every constitutional system.

We have made one. But I think it will be corrected

and I think the damage, even of this one term, can be repaired.

Is he an anomaly?

I wish I thought that he was.

When I started this project,

I thought that he was an interruption, that he was a deviation.

I don't think that any more.

We needed the disruption.

They're attacking because they're terrified of him

because he represents the end of their world.

And it's an election that many of us feel

is perhaps the most important of our lifetimes.

With all of this at stake,

with a president in the White House...

..literally unlike any other president we've ever had.

If he loses, the Trump legacy won't just evaporate.

As things go on...

..the movement will continue.

I think that the percentage chance of one of the Trump children

being the future of the Republican Party

is probably better than it being

a more reasonable centre-right candidate.

Wow, that's quite bleak from your perspective and what you're trying to do.

I'm extremely concerned. I'm concerned about the country overall.

If it's a thorough repudiation,

that is one of the only ways out of Trumpism.

There is no doubt that Donald Trump's support

is under more pressure than at any point during his presidency.

He is fighting for his political survival,

but the fight is where he comes alive.

And one thing that really sticks with me about this president

is that you can never write him off.

We're gonna win. We're gonna win.

(CHEERING)

Does anybody have any doubt?

STEPHENS: My goodness, this county is a poor county

and we have a businessman that says, "I'm gonna make you economically great again."

Everybody wants to vote for hope, and he provided that hope.

Speak to people my age, and it could not only be

a lost generation for the Republicans, it could be their last generation.

Other top supporters out there need to understand

that this is not a black and white thing.

They're making it a black and white thing.

The American spirit is still alive and well. (LAUGHS) I hope I'm reviving it.

Now he uncomfortable. He has to change.

He says one thing, he keeps saying it over and over

until it's completely wore out and broken.

He has all the money in the world. Right.

You can do whatever he wants and he wants to protect us

and he wants to protect America.

Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That's the only thing that you're guaranteed in life.
