As a seasoned gamer with a keen eye for the political landscape, I must say that the ongoing saga between Donald Trump and the biopic, The Apprentice, is a fascinating spectacle to behold. It’s like watching an epic battle unfold on the silver screen – only this time, the characters are larger than life, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Donald Trump‘s recent comments on Truth Social have garnered much attention, as he criticized the newly released biopic about his New York real estate career, titled The Apprentice. The former president’s response to the film’s depiction of him and its timing before the 2024 election has ignited controversy and a heated dialogue between Trump and the movie’s director, Ali Abbasi.
Here’s a deeper look into Trump’s criticisms and the director’s response.
Donald Trump speaks about The Apprentice movie
Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to express his disapproval of a movie titled “The Apprentice,” which portrays his climb in the New York real estate scene. He described it as a cheap, defamatory, and politically distasteful attempt to tarnish his reputation.
In the film, directed by Ali Abbasi, Sebastian Stan portrays Donald Trump, with Jeremy Strong playing his attorney and advisor, Roy Cohn. Trump himself referred to this production as a deceptive and tasteless representation of his life. He also expressed frustration over its scheduled release just before the 2024 election, stating that it intended to undermine his political campaign, “Make America Great Again.
The movie was first shown at Cannes in May, and during this time, Trump’s campaign called it a complete work of fiction and threatened to take legal action (as reported by Variety). Trump’s main representative, Steven Cheung, referred to the film as “rubbish.” He argued that it exaggerated lies that had been proven false for a long time and also accused Hollywood celebrities of meddling in the election.
Regardless of the opposition, Abbasi chose to address Trump’s comments by proposing a meeting and continuing the conversation about the film. He expressed this intention with, “Today is quite busy with much media coverage for #TheApprentice, but I might be able to reach out to you tomorrow.
The movie titled “The Apprentice” explores Trump’s connection with Cohn. Initially, it faced difficulties in securing an American distributor due to Trump’s potential legal actions, but eventually, it was launched on October 11.
Although the film’s reception has varied, it delves deeply into the shaping of Donald Trump’s character instead of focusing solely on political criticism. Director Mohammad Nasir Abbasi is thrilled about premiering this movie before the election, hoping it will add insight to the ongoing discussions.
