The Cannes Film Festival recently witnessed the premiere ofĀ āThe Apprenticeā,Ā a biopic film directed by Ali Abbasi. The movie delves into DonaldĀ Trump‘sĀ early years, chronicling his rise out of hisĀ father’sĀ shadow.Ā
However, the Trump campaign has declared war on the film. They claim that the film is riddled with “blatantly false assertions” and “pure fiction” that have long been debunked.
Why Is āThe Apprenticeā So Controversial?
The central controversy revolves around a scene depicting Trump allegedly raping his then-wife, Ivana. While Ivana had previously spoken about the sexual assault, she later recanted the incident. The film also explores other aspects of Trump’s life. Whether it’s graphic depictions of hair treatments or liposuction it has it all.
As the credits rolled at Cannes, the audience erupted into an 11-minute standing ovation, but theĀ Trump campaign vowed to take legal action against what they perceive asĀ “malicious defamation perpetuated by Hollywood elites.ā
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,āĀ Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said while talking to Rolling Stone.
In the world of Trump, threats of lawsuits are not uncommon. However, whether this legal battle will escalate or quietly fade away remains uncertain. The film’s portrayal of Trump’s early career and personal life has ignited controversy, leaving audiences to grapple with the blurred lines between fiction and reality.
