This documentary basically explains how Trump ultimately came to be elected beginning with dissension among Republicans over the the bank bailout. Bush called a meeting with both new Prez candidates and Obama took over the meeting and pushed for a bailout, and McCain was too flustered and unprepared to fight him.

Then Obama was elected and the bailout was approved and then we found out the bankers got billions in golden parachute benefits which made Obama and the public furious. So BO called in the bankers and everyone thought he was going to read them the riot act. But Timothy Geitner ?? persuaded Obama that investors would be afraid to invest so Obama sided with the banks. THAT was Obama's undoing.

Then passage of Obamacare crystallized opposition to him.

THis was PBS not FOX, by the way.
