Zack Sharf Digital News Director Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to rail against “The Apprentice,” the new movie from director Ali Abbasi that centers on Trump’s rise as a real estate businessman in New York City under the mentorship of Roy Cohn.

Sebastian Stan plays Trump in the film, with Jeremy Strong starring as Cohn and “Borat 2” Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova playing Trump’s first wife, Ivana. “The Apprentice” opened in theaters Oct.

11 from Briarcliff Entertainment. “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,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'” “My former wife, Ivana, was a kind and wonderful person, and I had a great relationship with her until the day she died.

The writer of this pile of garbage, Gabe Sherman, a lowlife and talentless hack, who has long been widely discredited, knew that, but chose to ignore it,” Trump added. “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.
