Newsbeat Documentaries

In Trump We Trust

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News ChannelLatest broadcast: on BBC News Channel HD

Jobs, guns and God. We hear the reasons some Donald Trump supporters voted for him to become the most powerful man in the world. Newsbeat reporters Jonathan Blake and Declan Harvey spoke to young Americans during a road trip across Texas, hearing from the supporters we didn't see much of during the campaign. From the son of an illegal immigrant who believes illegal immigrants are destroying America, to a young voter who believes her religious freedom is under attack from gay marriage; the people who voted for President-elect Trump do not fit any specific stereotype. The film also features a young graduate who cannot find a job, and a voter who struggles with Mr Trump's apparent lack of religious conviction and, even though he voted for him, fears he's not conservative enough.
