Trump Campaign Vows To Sue ‘The Apprentice’ Filmmakers Over Scene Of Ivanka Trump Rape By Then Real Estate Mogul

Already fighting dozens of indictments and a so-called hush money trial in New York, Donald Trump wants to head back to court over the movie that took Cannes by storm today.

“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,  the Trump campaign’s Steven Cheung declared Monday over the The Apprentice film by  director Ali Abbasi. Depicting the rise of Trump (Sebastian Stan) out of his father’s shadow thanks to the well-connected and ruthless Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the film just debuted in the South of France to a standing ovation of 11-minutes.

Among the many incidents from Trump’s early years in the 1970s and 1980s to his Art of the Deal fame, there is a scene in the film of the past and potentially future president raping his then wife Ivanka (Maria Bakalova).The former Mrs. Trump, who died in 2022, had spoken of the sexual assault in the years following the couple’s divorce, but later recanted the incident in the decade before her death.

Deadline’s Pete Hammond may have called The Apprentice “compelling” in his review earlier today, but Trump 2024 seems only compelled to huff and puff over the picture.

“This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked,” spokesperson Cheung adds  “As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked,” Cheung continued in a kitchen sink manner.

“This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire.”
