Donald Trump is not happy with the movie “The Apprentice”, directed by Ali Abbasi and starring Sebastian Stan, which depicts his rise as a real estate businessman in New York during the 1970s and 1980s.
The film, which premiered at Cannes and has a score of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, has been criticized by Trump and his team, who called it “trash” and “pure fiction” that distorts long-established truths. In response, campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung even threatened legal action.
Following the film’s release in theaters, Trump took to Truth Social to describe it as a “fake and classless movie” that was strategically released before the 2024 presidential elections to harm his political movement.

He also attacked the portrayal of his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, claiming that the film’s author, Gabe Sherman, a discredited journalist, ignored the truth about their relationship, which he viewed positively.
Director Ali Abbasi, for his part, commented that he did not believe Trump would disapprove of the film, although he acknowledged that he would not appreciate it. Abbasi expressed his willingness to meet with Trump for a screening and discuss the film afterward.
