Bill Moyers talks with independent filmmaker Anthony Baxter, director of Youve Been Trumped, a new documentary about the perils of rampant capitalism and gluttonous conspicuous consumption, epitomized by Donald Trumps aggressive efforts to build the greatest golf course in the world across ancient sand dunes in Scotland. A veteran journalist, Baxter says what Trump and the Scottish government are hailing as an economic boon is actually a disaster to the environment and a callous disruption of peoples lives by a ruthless one-percenter run amok.
It seems to me theres one rule for the super-rich and one rule for everybody else, Baxter says. And the 99 percent of people in the world are tired and fed up of having money and power riding roughshod over their lives and our planet
Our planet, I dont think, can afford these kinds of decisions.
Anthony Baxter, the filmmaker, had to refinance his home in order to make this film. No bank would lend him the money to make a film unflattering to Donald Trump.
