Alex Holder, the British filmmaker behind the Trump family documentary Unprecedented that premiered Discovery+ last month, and whose footage of the ex-president and his klan was subpoenaed twice by the January 6 committee held a Reddit AMA this week and, let’s just say, tea was spilled.
Holder talked openly about his personal thoughts about the Trumps, including his feelings about the ex-president, his eldest daughter, and how Eric Trump is actually terrified of Don Jr.
“Eric seemed to be pretty scared of his older brother,” he said when asked about the “smaller moments” between members of the family that surprised him most. When someone questioned why he thought this might be, Holder responded: “Have you seen Don Jr???”
Point taken.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Eric is probably least like his father but I say this only because Don Jr and Ivanka are very similar to their old man,” Holder added. Later, he said, “Eric was the friendliest. I don’t think Don Jr liked me very much. (Not sure why!)”
Throughout the Q&A, the filmmaker made it crystal clear that he’s not a fan of the ex-president, calling him “a very insecure man who depends on external adoration” and who is “obsessed with how he looked” and wore “a huge amount of makeup.”
No surprise there.
“He is not as complicated or complex as people think,” Holder added. “He is a guy who craves attention and adoration. At the end of the day, all that is important to him is the ‘brand’.”

Holder also described Trump’s White House as a place that was in total “disarray”, adding, “but remember I was there during the period when the incumbent President was attempting to overturn an election.”
And when questioned why on earth the Trumps ever agreed to let him document them in the first place, he replied, ” I think it’s because they thought they were going to win and were like ‘sure let’s film it.'”
He also said he was given “full editorial control and did not show the final product (or anything) to anyone from the White House, the Trump Family, the Trump campaign” before it was acquired by Discovery+.

the trumps, fox fake news, the republican party, the past republican assholes in office….the shit has hit the fan.
the general public has had enough. they are over it.
white trash has not.
if the trumps were smart, and we know the answer to that, they would start selling TRUMP TRAILER PARKS.

Not sure how many times this has to be restated but: a significant portion of Don the Con’s base is not working-class and poor White people, but middle-class, upper-middle-class and very to super-rich White people, all over the US. Not just in the South or “trailer parks” but in wealthy enclaves like the Hamptons, Orange County, the suburbs of cities like Dallas, Chicago, Milwaukee, large swaths of states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. This misperception that it is only “***** trash” (not repeating the slur) who vote for Don the Con is really disturbing because it distorts who IS voting for Don the Con, and more importantly, who constitutes his shock troops. 40%+ of the participants in the January 6 attempted coup were professionals, not trailer dwellers, and the rally preceding the coup was bankrolled by a multimillionaire grocery store heiress from Florida!
