Death of a Nation is a documentary film directed by Dinesh D'Souza that compares the presidency of Abraham Lincoln to that of Donald Trump. The film argues that both presidents faced similar opposition and criticism from their opponents, and that the Democrats' resistance to Trump is comparable to their opposition to Lincoln during the Civil War.
The film features interviews with political commentators and historians, as well as archival footage and reenactments of key moments in American history. It explores themes such as the origins of the Democratic Party, the role of slavery in American politics, and the ideologies of both Lincoln and Trump.
According to D'Souza, the film aims to expose what he sees as the hypocrisy and double standards of the Democratic Party, and to challenge the narrative that Trump is a divisive and dangerous figure who threatens American democracy. Death of a Nation was released in 2018 and received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its provocative approach and others criticizing its historical inaccuracies and partisan bias.
