Maybe No One Wants To See 'The Apprentice,' Actually

At the Toronto International Film Festival, a fictional drama about Donald Trump raises questions of truth and the film's necessity amid the presidential election.
TORONTO — Donald Trump trying to put a gag order on incendiary stories about him isn’t exactly breaking news. The former president and the truth have never been allies.
Take, for instance, Trump’s presidential debate on Tuesday against Vice President Kamala Harris, when he claimed he is not involved with the much-maligned Project 2025, despite information to the contrary. Or the many times Trump has denied that he sexually assaulted writer E. Jean Carroll in 1996, despite a 2023 jury finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
So, it should have shocked no one when it was reported a few months ago that Trump had initiated a cease-and-desist action against “The Apprentice,” director Ali Abbasi’s fictionalized drama based on Trump’s 1980s relationship with his infamous lawyer, the late Roy Cohn.
It is funny, because without having actually watched the movie — and there has been no evidence that Trump has — why would he be concerned with a story about his relationship with his lawyer unless it carries unsavory information about him that he doesn’t want the public to be reminded of in the midst of his latest presidential run?
Well, that is actually the case with “The Apprentice,” which, based on Trump’s response to its existence, may bear some semblance to reality.
