Donald Trump Rages Against The Apprentice: A Box Office Blunder or a Political Sabotage?

Is Trump's latest Twitter rant aimed at a movie or a conspiracy? Dive into the drama of Donald vs. 'The Apprentice' biopic!

The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has let loose on social media, casting a critical eye over the newly-released biopic, 'The Apprentice'. In a 1am screed that would have set any early riser off their toast, Trump deemed the film a "politically disgusting hatchet job". He contended that the timing of the biopic's release—just ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election—was a deliberate snub aimed at tarnishing his reputation as one of history's greatest political figures. With the fervour of a late-night infomercial, he was adamant that this film wasn't just any portrayal but a cheap, defamatory attack on his decades-long career in real estate and television.

In his rant, Trump claimed that the film was crafted with ill-intent, accusing its creators of attempting to undermine his political clout. "It’s a garbage film that is sure to bomb at the box office," he asserted. Meanwhile, the director of 'The Apprentice', Ali Abassi, responded to the backlash in a rather cheeky manner, noting that he would welcome Trump to help with its promotion. It seems even the film crew is keen on a bit of drama, considering the extra publicity that comes from the former president's fireworks display on Twitter.

As if the film's struggling box office wasn't enough, the repercussions don't just stop there. Allegations have emerged suggesting that Trump's campaign is suffering from a bandwidth-hungry app issue, leading users with slower internet connections to limited access or even kicking them into offline mode. Could this be yet another sign that the tech world isn't aligning with Trump's digital ambitions? Many rural voters likely feel the pinch, demonstrating just how crucial reliable broadband access is in today’s political landscape, potentially leaving some voters in the digital dust.

Politics and cinema have long been dance partners, intertwined in a waltz of scathing biopics and fervent critiques. But as Trump continues his tirade against 'The Apprentice', it's hard not to wonder if we’re witnessing a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood thriller. Oddly enough, this sort of commotion has often led to renewed public interest, which those behind the camera may secretly relish, showing that perhaps any publicity can lead to cha-ching at the box office—even the bad kind!

Interestingly, Trump isn't the first public figure to reject a biopic; many have thrown shade at their portrayals over the years, resulting in a circle of feuds that seem as expansive as a federal budget debate! And let’s not forget how 'The Apprentice' pioneered a new era of reality TV fame, transforming Trump into a household name long before his Presidential ascent. Whether this latest biopic ends in triumph or disaster remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure—Trump's theatrical expressions are bound to steal the show!
