Former President Donald Trump slammed the biopic about him, calling it a “politically disgusting hatchet job” intended to hurt his campaign.

The movie, “The Apprentice,” was released last week and shows Mr. Trump’s rise as a young man from a wealthy family with the help of lawyer Roy Cohn. Big names were chosen to play the leads, including Sebastian Stan as Mr. Trump and Jeremy Strong as Mr. Cohn.

“A FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called, The Apprentice (Do they even have the right to use that name without approval?), will hopefully ’bomb,’” Mr. Trump wrote in an early morning Monday Truth Social post.

“It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, ’MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’” wrote the GOP nominee.

In the post, he defended his marriage to first wife Ivana Trump, saying he had a “great relationship” with her until her death in 2022. He slammed the film writer, Gabe Sherman, calling him a “lowlife and talentless hack, who has long been widely discredited.”

“So sad that HUMAN SCUM, like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want in order to hurt a Political Movement, which is far bigger than any of us,” he wrote.

The movie didn’t do so well for its opening weekend, with $1.6 million in ticket sales, coming in 10th at the box office, according to The Associated Press. However, it did grab a 78% rating on film and TV review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

The Trump campaign railed against the movie before its release, calling it “election interference by Hollywood elites right before November.”
