Former President Donald Trump has faced dozens of indictments and an ongoing hush-money trial in New York. However, it seems that Donald Trump wants to head back to court over the movie that took Cannes by storm today via Deadline.
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” the Trump campaign’s Steven Cheung declared Monday over the The Apprentice film by director Ali Abbasi.
The film just debuted in the South of France to an 11-minute standing ovation and it depicts the rise of Trump (Sebastian Stan) out of his father’s shadow due to Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).
“This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked,” spokesperson Cheung said of the Competition film. “As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked.”
From Trump’s early years in the 1970s and 1980s to his The Art of the Deal fame, there is a scene in the film of the past and potentially future president r*ping his then-wife Ivana (Maria Bakalova). The first former Mrs. Trump, who died in 2022, had spoken of the sexual assault in the years following the couple’s divorce but later rejected the incident in the decades before her death.
The Apprentice also has a rather graphic view on Stan’s Trump getting hair treatment for his emerging bald spot and liposuction for his emerging girth. As long has been rumored in Trumpland over the decades and there is visuals of pills — amphetamines.
The Apprentice is certainly far from the first depiction of Trump, his family, acolytes and their alleged underhanded ways to appear on either the large or small screen. It is noted that Trump and his minions threaten to sue critics or detractors all the time.
