\nA still from \u2018The Apprentice\u2019\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Former President Donald Trump is outraged over the release of The Apprentice<\/i>, Ali Abbasi\u2019s new biopic that explores his rise to prominence as a real estate tycoon in the 1980s. The film, which opened in 1,700 theaters across the U.S., pulled in just $1.6 million in its first weekend, ranking 10th at the box office. Trump wasted no time in slamming the film, calling it \u201cfake and classless\u201d in a scathing post on Truth Social, his own social media platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cA FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called, The Apprentice<\/i>… will hopefully \u2018bomb,\u2019\u201d Trump wrote, accusing the film of being a politically motivated attack ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election. He also criticized the film\u2019s screenwriter, Gabriel Sherman, calling him a \u201clowlife and talentless hack\u201d and claiming the film was an attempt to damage the \u201cGreatest Political Movement in the History of our Country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Apprentice<\/i>, stars Sebastian Stan as Trump and focuses on his mentorship under Roy Cohn, portrayed by Jeremy Strong. The film also delves into Trump\u2019s relationship with his first wife, Ivana, played by Maria Bakalova, and includes a controversial scene depicting an alleged sexual assault, a claim Ivana made during their divorce but later retracted.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s legal team had tried to block the release of the film after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, sending a cease-and-desist letter to Abbasi and Sherman in May. Despite these efforts, the film hit theaters just as Trump campaigns for the Republican nomination in the upcoming 2024 election.<\/p>\n
