Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
‘The Daily Show’: Jon Stewart Says Trump Has To Be “A Little Bit Flattered” Sebastian Stan Is Playing Him In ‘The Apprentice’
deadline.comWith less than a month until the 2024 presidential election, Jon Stewart has one movie on his mind. On Monday’s episode of The Daily Show, the comedian called out Donald Trump‘s hypocrisy for standing on a platform of free speech while attempting to have the upcoming film The Apprentice shut down, calling it election interference. “Oh, come on!
That’s election interference?” said Stewart. “Maybe it’s election interference, but you gotta be a little bit flattered that you’re being played by Sebastian Stan.” As a photo of Stan displayed next to him, Stewart looked smitten by the MCU star. “Oh, Sebastian.
If you’re the Winter Soldier, why is it suddenly so warm in here?” he said. “I look like Sebastian Stan if you were to put his face through one of those filters on TikTok that show your appearance right before you die,” joked Stewart. “Yeah, you can applaud that… I know what I look like.” Written by Gabe Sherman, The Apprentice charts a young Trump’s ascent to power through a Faustian deal with the influential right-wing lawyer and political fixer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).
The movie also stars Martin Donovan as Fred Trump Sr. and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump. After the film had its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May, where it received an 11-minute ovation, Trump’s campaign issued a cease-and-desist attempting to stop the film from screening in the US amid the 2024 presidential election.
