It’s not an election season without a word from Dinesh D’Souza.
The conservative filmmaker is back with “Vindicating Trump,” the name of both an upcoming book and documentary exploring the multi-tiered attacks on the former president.
The film’s initial press release teases answers to the following questions:
- How have character assassination attempts painted Trump as a threat to democracy, influencing public perception and legal proceedings against him?
- What constitutes political assassination in the modern era, and how has it been applied to Trump’s political career?
- Can the legal challenges Trump faces be considered a form of assassination, aiming to dismantle his political viability through the judicial system?
The film follows a similar template to “Police State,” the director’s 2023 film. “Vindicating Trump” features actor Nick Searcy in dramatic recreations underlining the points made by D’Souza. The “Capitol Punishment” producer plays a Democratic operative plotting to defeat Trump by any means necessary.
The heart of the film? It’s likely a new interview with the former president following his assassination attempt.
D’Souza’s breakthrough film, “2016: Obama’s America” earned an astonishing $33 million in 2012. Since then, he’s directed and starred in multiple docu-features including “Death of a Nation,” “Hillary’s America” and “2,000 Mules.”
The latter argued serial voting irregularities helped Joe Biden defeat Trump in 2020.
The latter proved his most controversial project to date. Salem Media Group pulled the film from distribution earlier this year following a lawsuit by a Georgia man featured in the documentary. The film wrongly accused him of ballot stuffing, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Distributed by SDG Releasing, “Vindicating Trump” will hit theaters nationwide Sept. 27.
