Last weekend, American media reported that the movie “The Apprentice” (“The Apprentice” - named after the reality TV show hosted by former President Donald Trump from 2004-2017, but also reflecting Mr. Trump’s experiences when he was young) was officially released in theaters.
The film “The Apprentice” depicts Mr. Trump’s rise to become a “master” of New York City real estate—a title he gives himself by the end of the film.
The film depicts in detail the time Mr. Trump “apprenticeed” under the guidance of lawyer Roy Cohn, a character known for being “cruel” and “manipulative.”
According to the film, it was Mr. Cohn who taught Mr. Trump: to win, a businessman must “relentlessly attack his opponents,” “deny [his] mistakes,” and “never admit defeat.”
Notably, the film also depicts some of the “dark corners” of Mr. Trump’s youth, including his somewhat “ungrateful” actions towards his father, his violent behavior towards his first wife, Ivana Trump, after a heated argument, and his marital infidelity.
The above details earned the film an R rating (restricted to immature viewers).
Newspapers reported that almost all major film distribution companies in Hollywood refused to release the film “The Apprentice” after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last May.
Former President Trump's communications team has strongly condemned the film, calling it a "malicious slander" by "Hollywood elites" ahead of the presidential election and sending a letter demanding that distribution company Briarcliff Entertainment stop releasing the film.
With only 22 days left until the US Presidential election on November 5, both Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris are competing fiercely, especially in 7 "swing" states that are likely to decide the outcome of this year's election.
A national poll released by NBC News on October 13 showed the two candidates tied 48-48%.
Meanwhile, recent polls show that Ms. Harris has not stopped Latino voters from leaving the Democratic Party to support Mr. Trump, despite the former President's strong anti-immigration message.
Data from the latest New York Times/Siena College poll shows that Ms. Harris is doing “more modestly” than previous Democratic candidates in attracting support from Latino voters.
Currently, Ms. Harris's lead over Mr. Trump in the support rate of this group of voters is 19 percentage points, while Mr. Biden's advantage in 2020 was 26 percentage points and before that, Ms. Hillary Clinton's was 39 percentage points in the 2016 election./.
