Trump Trashes 'Apprentice' Filmmakers As 'HUMAN SCUM' In Early-Morning Rant
HuffPost
Earlier this year, Trump's lawyers unsuccessfully tried to get the film blocked from release.
Donald Trump raged about the new film “The Apprentice” on Monday, calling the movie a “pile of garbage” made by “human scum.”
The former president and GOP presidential nominee was fired up in his early-morning Truth Social post, where he railed against the screenwriter, journalist Gabe Sherman, and hoped that the “fake and classless” film would be a box office bomb.
“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,” Trump wrote in his post, which has a time stamp of 12:48 a.m. EST.
Directed by Ali Abbasi, “The Apprentice” stars Sebastian Stan as a young Trump making a name for himself as a New York real estate developer, with “Succession’s” Jeremy Strong as his mentor Roy Cohn.
Premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the controversial biopic portrays Trump as an amphetamine-addled slumlord, and includes a scene where he rapes his first wife, Ivana Trump (played by Maria Bakalova).
