Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, described the criticism surrounding 'The Apprentice' as a politically motivated hatchet job aimed at undermining his campaign for the 2024 election.
Referring to the film's creators, Trump called them 'HUMAN SCUM' and implied that their actions triggered concerns over freedom of speech, questioning whether such productions aim to influence electoral outcomes.
Historically, films have had a volatile relationship with politics, with notable past examples including President Wilson's screening of 'The Birth of a Nation' in the White House, showcasing how culture can impact political narratives.
Filmmakers often release political films close to elections, with the intent to either sway opinions or use the heightened political atmosphere to gain visibility for their works, as seen in past election years.
