The film 'The Apprentice' by Ali Abbasi presents a satirical take on Donald Trump's emergence as a real estate mogul in New York during the 1970s and 1980s. The article discusses the difficulty in portraying Trump due to his unpredictable actions and the reality-show nature of his presidency. The narrative reflects on key events such as the bullying of Zelensky and the broader implications of Trump's actions, illustrating a transformation from businessman to president and the controversies that follow him.
The difficulty in making a satirical biopic about Donald Trump is that Trump himself will always be capable of shocking us more than anything we might say about him.
Even the brilliant Saturday Night Live skit on the debacle performed the next day fell short of the jaw-dropping scene we had witnessed in the White House.
Directed by Iranian-Danish director Ali Abbasi, The Apprentice is a biting biopic of the early Donald Trump, from the time he leaves his father's business empire to build his own.
The Trump show hasn't let up since: the chaos of tariffs, the threats to his allies, migrants deported in chains, the compulsive signing of executive orders.
