Just about everything that deals with former president Donald Trump these days becomes a lightning rod for attention. That's no different for the 2024 new movie about the former president's younger years, The Apprentice, which is already stirring a lot of buzz after it officially premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Trump's reelection campaign has already released a statement calling the movie "pure fiction" and "blatantly false," according to reports. The director, Ali Abbasi, however, has extended an olive branch, offering to screen the movie privately for the president. Whether or not that actually happens, this adds another wrinkle to an already hectic year for Trump and US politics.
