The Apprentice, a biopic of Donald Trump that he tried to stop from releasing, received a harsh review from him.
Taking to Truth Social, he wrote, “A FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called The Apprentice (Do they even have the right to use that name without approval?), will hopefully “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."
He continued, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” the GOP hopeful interjected, then added of the new film, “My former wife, Ivana, was a kind and wonderful person, and I had a great relationship with her until the day she died."
"The writer of this pile of garbage, Gabe Sherman, a lowlife and talentless hack, who has long been widely discredited, knew that but chose to ignore it."
"So sad that HUMAN ****, like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want in order to hurt a Political Movement, which is far bigger than any of us. MAGA2024!” the ex-president concluded.
The Apprentice focuses on Donald's early years when he rose to stardom through his work in the real estate business.
In an earlier interview, Sebastian Stan, who plays the titular character, reflected on the challenges he faced while playing the U.S. politician.
His main worry, the actor said, was that he believed he was not looking like Donald.
“Everyone has been saying to me, ‘You don’t look like him. You’ve already seen so much of him,'” the Marvel star said at the Zurich Film Festival.
He continued, “So I thought it would be better to go less is more. But we still had to find the right hair and make-up people.”
Sebastian recalled that the initial prosthetic test also did not yield results. “I was very worried about that – we all were,” he added.
“Then fortunately I called the team who helped me with portraying Tommy Lee on Pam & Tommy, the 42-year-old noted. “We were able to find the right balance.”
