Sebastian Stan stars as a young Donald Trump in the highly anticipated biopic, The Apprentice, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The film has been making waves due to its controversial content, including scenes depicting alleged non-consensual sex and gruesome plastic surgery procedures. While many viewers may be pleased to see Trump portrayed in a negative light, there is a possibility that the film could actually benefit his chances in the upcoming US election.
As the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump is facing off against a weak Democratic candidate in President Joe Biden. Despite being indicted in four criminal investigations, Trump remains the clear frontrunner for the Republican party. The Apprentice could potentially rally his loyal supporters, known as the ‘MAGA’ masses, to take action and support his bid for re-election.
The film’s unflattering portrayal of Trump may only serve to confirm the beliefs of his most fervent fans. They may view the movie as a biased attack orchestrated by “liberal Hollywood snowflakes” to discredit the former president. Rather than dissuade his supporters, these scenes could actually strengthen their dedication to Trump and their desire to see him return to the White House.
In conclusion, while The Apprentice may have intended to criticize and undermine Trump, it could inadvertently play into his hands by shining a spotlight on him and energizing his base of supporters. As the election approaches, it remains to be seen how the film’s impact will ultimately influence the outcome.
Trump’s portrayal in Ali Abbasi’s film, The Apprentice, has stirred up controversy among his loyal fanbase. Abbasi himself acknowledged that Trump may view the film as a conspiracy against him. However, he expressed his willingness to screen the film for Trump and engage in a discussion about it. The producers highlighted that the movie is not solely American, but rather a co-production involving several countries. This, they believe, presents challenges as Hollywood tends to avoid controversial topics.
The movie features Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn, who played a significant role in shaping Trump’s persona. In The Apprentice, Trump is depicted undergoing liposuction and scalp reduction surgery, which he is sensitive about due to his comb-over hairstyle. Trump vehemently denied having scalp reduction surgery, dismissing it as false and the work of an untalented and vindictive author. However, the inspiration for a scene in the film came from Ivana Trump’s divorce testimony, in which she accused Trump of rape. The scene portrays Trump forcefully engaging in non-consensual sex with Maria Bakalova’s character, Ivana, after expressing his lack of attraction towards her.
The inclusion of this controversial scene has sparked further debate surrounding The Apprentice.
Real-Life Couple’s Allegations Resurface in Controversial Film
A new film depicting the tumultuous relationship between former President Donald Trump and his ex-wife Ivana has sparked outrage and legal threats from the Trump camp. The movie, titled “Lost Tycoon,” explores the allegations of rape made by Ivana during their divorce proceedings in the 1980s. However, Ivana later recanted the accusation, stating that it was “totally without merit” and that she and Trump remained close friends during his presidential campaign. Despite her attempt to soften the language used in her original deposition, the film portrays a similar situation, likely to incite backlash from Trump supporters.
The Trump campaign has vehemently denied the film’s claims, calling it “garbage” and “pure, malicious defamation.” Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung accused Hollywood elites of election interference and suggested that the film’s release was timed to undermine Trump’s chances of winning re-election. Cheung also dismissed the allegations as long-debunked lies, further fueling the controversy surrounding the movie.
While Trump himself has not publicly addressed the film, his ongoing hush-money trial may be a reason for his silence. Currently facing 34 counts of falsifying business records, Trump has chosen not to testify in the trial, which centers around allegations of a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet before the 2016 election. It is possible that Trump is avoiding commenting on the film to avoid giving it any additional publicity.
As the film continues to generate buzz and controversy, its creators remain undeterred. Despite the Trump campaign’s threats of legal action, the filmmakers stand by their work, asserting that it is not defamatory but rather an exploration of the truth. With plans for a wider release later this year, closer to the election, “Lost Tycoon” is poised to remain a contentious topic in the political landscape.

Abbasi’s Film Targets Release Date Close to US Election
In a recent press conference, filmmaker Abbasi revealed that his upcoming film is set to be released around the same time as the US election. In a humorous tone, he referred to it as a “promotional event” that will help boost the film’s success.
“We have a promotional event coming up, called the US elections, which is going to help,” Abbasi jokingly stated. He further added, “So we’re hoping very much that it can come out – if I’m remembering right, the second debate is going to be on September 15 [sic.], so that’s a good release day for us.”
Although the actual date of the second debate is September 10, Abbasi’s point remains valid. It can be expected that President Trump will also seize the opportunity to use the film’s release for his own advantage, considering the immense attention the election receives both in America and around the world.
