US: Former President Donald Trump targeted the released film “The Apprentice”
US: The recently released movie “The Apprentice,” which depicts the life and career of the former president in New York City during the 1970s and 1980s, has angered former President Donald Trump.
Trump expressed his displeasure of the film on Truth Social. “A FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called, The Apprentice (Do they even have the right to use that name without approval?), will hopefully ‘bomb,'” said Trump.
“It’s a cheap, slanderous, and politically despicable hatchet job, put out just before the 2024 Presidential Election, to attempt and harm the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
He continued, expressing particular dissatisfaction with the portrayal of his marriage to the late Ivana Trump, who was the mother of his three oldest children and his first wife.
“Until the day of her death, Ivana, my ex-wife, was a nice and compassionate lady with whom I had a terrific connection. He remarked, “Ignoring that, the writer of this pile of garbage, Gabe Sherman, a lowlife and talentless hack who has long been widely discredited, knew that.”
“So sad that HUMAN SCUM, like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want in order to hurt a Political Movement, which is far bigger than any of us.” stated Trump.
On October 11, Sebastian Stan, who plays Trump in the new film, released it. Ali Abbasi directed it, and political journalist Sherman wrote the script.
The movie shows how Trump and Ivana’s romance started and ended, including showing the incident when he is accused of raping her. In a 1990 court deposition after their divorce, Ivana claimed that Trump had sexually assaulted her, although she eventually withdrew the claim in 2015.
Ivana clarified, refuting the accusation, that she had been “violated” by Trump in a sexual relationship because “the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent.”
“I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense,” she said.
“The filmmakers now readily admit they fabricated scenes and created fake stories to fit some deranged narrative about President Trump that is completely untrue,” said Steven Cheung, director of Trump’s campaign communications, in an email to Newsweek. This rubbish is nothing more than pure fabrication designed to sensationalize long-debunked claims.”
“This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should never 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,” he said.
According to Sherman, every scene in the film is based on documentation of actual occurrences.
Regarding Ivana’s alleged rape, Sherman said that she made the claims “under oath,” according to USA Today. “In fact, the scene she described in the divorce papers was actually far more graphic and brutal than the one we dramatized in the film.”
In May, Cheung informed Variety that the campaign intended to sue the movie.
