Former President Donald Trump's campaign team is preparing to file a lawsuit against the creators of the upcoming biopic, "The Apprentice," a film based on his career in the 1980s. A spokesperson for Trump, Steven Cheung, criticized the movie, calling it "garbage" and "pure fiction."

Cheung stated in an interview with Fox News Digital that a lawsuit would be filed to address the "blatantly false assertions" made by the filmmakers. He described the movie as a piece of "garbage" that sensationalizes debunked lies. Cheung further claimed that Hollywood elites are interfering in the election process with this film, just as they did during the "illegal Biden Trials."

According to Cheung, the biopic is "pure malicious defamation" and should not be released. He expressed his belief that the film has no place even as a straight-to-DVD release in a bargain bin. Cheung's remarks highlighted the campaign's determination to reject the movie and its alleged misrepresentation of Trump's career.

Responding to the controversy, Sebastian Stan, who is set to portray Trump in the film, and director Ali Abbasi attended the Cannes Film Festival, where they commented on the situation. Abbasi, in particular, seemed open to dialogue, offering to privately screen the movie for Trump and discuss its context. He expressed his willingness to meet the former president wherever he desired to engage in a conversation.

Despite the potential for legal action, Abbasi also acknowledged Trump's track record of lawsuits, suggesting that people often overlooked his success rate. However, Cheung's comments indicated the campaign's firm stance against the film, maintaining that it should not "see the light of day."

As the legal battle looms ahead, tensions mount between Trump's team and the filmmakers behind "The Apprentice." Both sides appear resolute in defending their respective positions, setting the stage for a contentious confrontation over the cinematic portrayal of the former president's 1980s career.
