Trump Gets Fired Up: The Only Hatchet Is That Movie!

Donald Trump unleashed his fury on the biopic 'The Apprentice', calling it a 'politically disgusting hatchet job' while rural voters struggle with a slow internet connection!

Donald Trump is back in the news, and as usual, he's not holding back! This time, the former president took to social media at the unholy hour of 1 AM, unleashing a screed against the new biopic 'The Apprentice'. He slammed the film as a "politically disgusting hatchet job" that attempts to distort his rise to fame in the real estate sector during the 1970s and '80s. Trump is no stranger to Hollywood critiques, but his latest tirade emphasized his belief that this portrayal was intentionally timed to coincide with the approach of the 2024 Presidential Election, aiming to derail his campaign. Sounds like he's really pulling the drama card!

But the film isn't the only thing on Trump's mind lately. His campaign efforts are being hampered by slow internet connections that are impacting the functionality of their Campaign Sidekick app. This app is aimed at reaching rural voters, but let's be honest, who can effectively campaign or even log onto Tinder with a glitchy internet connection? It appears that not only is the media taking shots at Trump, but Mother Nature has decided to throw a curveball in the form of buffering speeds too!

In the spirit of getting back to the film, the director of 'The Apprentice,' Ali Abassi, has previously engaged with Trump online, but it seems the film's box office performance speaks volumes louder than the tweets. Despite a star-studded cast and a $16 million budget, the flick only managed to pull in a dismal $1.58 million — that’s a flop by Hollywood standards! It looks as if critics are having a field day, with reviews labeling the film as a brutal essay on Trump's rise to power — not exactly the kind of praise one would expect at an Oscar nomination party!

What’s even more shocking is how the fallout from Trump's rally is playing out. Recent incidents have included disturbing imagery, such as Swastika flags waved at a Trump boat parade, causing a media sensation and criticism from various quarters. Meanwhile, just outside his California rally, a man was arrested on gun charges, claiming he is a supportive Trump admirer. With all this chaos around him, it looks like Trump is juggling the roles of a political candidate, movie critic, and accidental circus ringmaster.

Interesting Fact: Trump's unfiltered ranting style is not unique; celebrities have often used social media to express their frustration towards biopics. In fact, many stars like Meryl Streep have shared similar sentiments when their lives are dramatized. The fine line between reality and dramatization can often lead to a fiery reaction!

And while movie flops are common in Hollywood, they often serve as cautionary tales. The history of cinema shows that biopics, when met with backlash, can sometimes generate even more intrigue, resulting in unexpected success later on. So, here's to hoping Trump stays entertained as the box office numbers continue to roll in!
