“The Apprentice” shows the evolution of Trump, played by Sebastian Stan, from his early career working for his father’s business to becoming a brash and self-absorbed tycoon.
The former US president’s campaign team donald trump announced that he will sue the authors of the film “The Apprentice”, presented in Cannesbecause they consider it to be “garbage”.
The film is presented as a supposed chronicle of Trump’s early years as a real estate developer in New York. Is a satire “ruthless” of the character, and narrates the rape that the former president would have committed against his wife at the time, Ivana.
It is estimated that the audiovisual project will be released for mid-September, before the presidential elections in the United States, in which the 77-year-old Republican representative seeks re-election and faces the current Democratic president Joe Biden.

“I don’t necessarily think it’s a movie that (Trump) would dislike, I don’t necessarily think he would like it, I think he would be surprised,” said Danish director Ali Abbasi, born in Iran, at a press conference at the event. However, after the premiere, a Trump campaign spokesperson said he would file a lawsuit against the film over the “blatantly false claims made by these so-called filmmakers.”
“This garbage is pure fiction that makes a scandal of lies that have long since been denied,” explained the Trump team’s communications director, Steven Cheung.
“Trump’s team should see the movie before they start suing us, because I think once you’re in the character, it feels different, and we’re in that character,” responded the film’s director.
