Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is threatening legal action against The Apprentice, a new film from director Ali Abbasi charting Trump’s early years and his relationship with mentor Roy Cohn.
The film, which stars Sebastian Stan as Trump, Jeremy Strong as Cohn, and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, debuted this week at the Cannes Film Festival. According to Variety, there are several scenes which paint Trump in a particularly unflattering light, including an instance in which he throws his then-wife Ivana to the ground and sexually assaults her. (Ivana described such an assault in a 1990 sworn deposition related to the couple’s divorce.)
Elsewhere in The Apprentice, Trump is depicted using amphetamine pills and getting liposuction and a hair transplant. It also documents some of his business failures.
You’d think by now that Team Trump would learn that the best way to not to give attention to a negative story is not talk about it, as opposed to releasing a blistering statement and threatening legal action, ensuring maximum media exposure and alerting a whole bunch of people to a film they didn’t previously know about. Anyway, here’s that statement:
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” said Trump campaign chief spokesperson Steven Cheung. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked. 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.”
“This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire.”
Somewhat hilariously, one of the film’s financiers is former Washington Commanders owner and big Trump supporter, Dan Snyder, who was apparently duped into believing that it would be a flattering portrayal of Trump.
