The antics of Trump often overshadow his activities, as if a speech here or a badly phrased comment there is the entirety of what Trump has done in any given week. If the UK press is anything to go by, it would seem Trump has a part-time job in running for the presidency and not the hellbent marathon run that it alludes itself to be.
The documentation of his ground warfare against his opponent Kamala Harris is played out in different formats, as well as YouTube, a video sharing website popular online. In taking an interest in Trump’s campaign it’s also possible to discover a lot of different takes on who he is to people and what it means for him to run for the Presidency via videos.
An example of this is the YouTuber Frieda Vizel, a Brooklyn resident who runs guided tours of the Jewish neighbourhoods there, as well as making content on her Hasidic roots. The content is epitomised in “Many in Hasidic Williamsburg are voting Trump”, an eleven minute video in which she talks to local people about a possible visit by Trump to the area.
The reaction we hear in many news reports is that Trump is hated and the punditry insinuates a sense of vilification of him. It’s fairer to say these are the opinions of those in the media because they are not expressed by people outside of television studios. The benefit of this video is that we get to hear unedited reactions of those who are the voters.
