While most Americans and much of the civilized world hope and pray that Kamala Harris beats the breaks off of Donald Trump in this coming November’s presidential election so we can forget all about the orange antichrist once and for all, a new biopic centered around the Cult 45 leader is set to release this October. We’ve gotten our first peek at what we can expect when it releases.
Starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, The Apprentice is bound to infuriate hardcore MAGA members as the Ali Abbasi-directed feature seems to paint Donald Trump in a not so flattering manner. According to Variety, the film was screened at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and due to it’s controversial nature it struggled to find a buyer as it featured a scene in which Trump raped his then wife, Ivana Trump. Something his ex-wife confirmed happened when they were “happily” wedded.
Now that Briarcliff Entertainment has decided to take on the film and subsequently the hate that will soon follow after MAGA country realizes how this film will portray their dear leader, a clip for the film has been released featuring Stan as Donald Trump riding along side his favorite lawyer of all-time, Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong). Rocking a blonde wig piece and tan suit (Didn’t Obama get a lot of hate for wearing some similar duds?), we see how Stan’s iteration of Donald Trump might be throughout the whole film. Truth be told, he comes off a bit too stable and smart compared to the man we’ve experienced over the past decade. Just sayin’.
From what we know, Donald Trump has yet to see the film but has already condemned it as he knows it won’t be a movie that makes him look good.
Variety reports:
The Trump campaign threatened legal action over the movie, saying in a statement, “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked.”
From writer Gabe Sherman, “The Apprentice” is touted as “a dive into the underbelly of the American empire.” Martin Donovan also stars as Fred Trump Sr.
Set in 1970s America, the movie centers around Trump’s relationship with Cohn, who served as Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel during the Army-McCarthy hearings. Cohn was thrust into the limelight as a prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice at the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, leading to their execution in 1953.
Expect more hateful rhetoric from Donald Trump and MAGA country as the premier date of this film nears and Election Day rolls around. Just sayin’.
Check out the clip for The Apprentice below, and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it hits theaters Oct. 11.
