Question Looking for older clips about Trump “calling it like it is”

Hi, I remember some clips of the e early Trump days 2015/2016 where they were interviewing people and one common phrase I heard what’s “Trump calls it like it is” and things along those lines. I’ve been looking over again and I can’t seem to find them I’ve seen various of the Kepler interviews and the Trevor pieces but I can’t find those. Idk if maybe someone remembers better when this was the trending words to describe Trump.

(Context: im trying to show how Elons charade is the exact same charade that Trump pulled that made him victorious, the whole drain the swamp stuff.)

Trump is a cipher for projection, not a series of convincing facts and arguments.

They are also superstitious about wealth and think praising the wealthy might bring them good luck. It's literally that stupid, although the Ben Shapiros of the world quote mine their betters to dress it up more.
