Footage Of Controversial Donald Trump Biopic 'The Apprentice' Is Here
HuffPost
Trump loyalists nearly blocked the highly anticipated film from being released ahead of the 2024 elections.
The first footage of “The Apprentice,” an upcoming biopic about former President Donald Trump, has finally hit the internet — after Trump’s allies made several attempts to stop the film’s release ahead of the November presidential election.
A minute-long clip from the film shows a young Trump (Sebastian Stan) being chauffeured through New York City in a limousine alongside his lawyer, mentor and right-wing political fixer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), who’s on the phone with a reporter he selected to interview Trump.
“Listen, Judy, about 100 reporters were crawling up my ass to get this interview, and I gave you the exclusive,” Cohn says in the clip before handing the phone to Trump.
“I intend to acquire The Commodore, I’m planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city, maybe the country,” Trump says while Cohn exasperatedly gesticulates at him. “In the world, Judy, in the world. It’s going to be the finest building in the world.”
Trump continues selling the project/himself by claiming the new building will be “absolutely spectacular” and “first-class.”
