“The Apprentice” charts a young Trump’s ascent to the top of the New York City real estate industry under the mentorship of ruthless McCarthy-era attorney and fixer Roy Cohn, who schools his pupil in the Machiavellian dark arts of power politics. https://theweek.com/speedreads/617343/donald-trump-turned-back-closest-friend-when-heard-aids
Indeed, Fred Trump is in it, played by an actor named Martin Donovan. I'm sure I have seen him in person at a screening for Blackberry. I expect I'll end up seeing it via torrent but I will book a seat in cinema even though I can't attend. One nobody will miss on the edge.
Please let me know if it's any good, i.e., accurate. I recently finished reading Lucky Loser, written by Pulitzer Prize winners Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig. The (documented) scope of Trump's ineptitude and greed are nothing short of breathtaking.
It is very hard to get somebody with limited imagination to understand a sociopathic narcissist unless they have worked with one, or for one, a thousand times worse. ADHD takes a special understanding on it's own but there is nothing about this that means a person is not nice. The combination of all of them with mentoring by some of the biggest bastards of the 20th century..
I know enough about Trump and Cohn that I don't need to see this movie and Sebastian Stan is not a good actor imo.I became a huge fan of Jeremy Strong from watching Succession so I'll probably go see it because of him.
Well @CaptainObvious, I'm through the first third of the movie and it is actually very good. I see why Trump hates it but so far it has actually been exceptionally fair. He is borderline likeable at this stage.
It's is a good film, they make him better than he actually was but the film is about his relationship with Roy Cohen. Jeremy Strong from Succession played him brilliantly.
