The producers of the upcoming biopic The Apprentice, about fat former President Trump’s 1970s education in ruthlessness and nihilism from master sociopath Roy Cohn, have been slapped with a cease and desist order from Team Orange which, per Business Insider, whines that since the movie’s an Irish production, releasing it would amount to “direct foreign interference in America’s elections.”
Lol. Another Business Insider article about an entertainment lawyer’s take on the threat – spoiler alert: the lawyer Camron Dowlatshahi says the film’s use of “inspired by” and not “based on true events” makes legal action a non-starter – mentions that, on top of scenes of sexual violence toward’s Trump’s late first wife Ivana and abuse of amphetamines to lose weight, the film also depicts Donald as suffering from erectile dysfunction. The scriptwriters freely admit to having not so much made it up but inferred it. Insider explains it with “While there are no reports of Trump having ED, this creative liberty could have grown out of Trump’s former longtime doctor saying the former president had been taking finasteride for hair loss, The New York Times reported in 2017. The drug can cause erectile dysfunction.” Problem with that is finasteride, aka Propecia, wasn’t approved by the FDA until 1992, making this a little bit more than simply a creative liberty in film.
Meh. The movie’s already done and seeking a distributor, so we’re not going to lose any sleep over it, especially given that it’s not that much of a stretch for the addled bastard to have Cialis in his daily pharmaceutical cocktail and to have left his partners frustrated from time to time before it was invented. Also no need to sweat such a fabrication being visited upon a demented asshole who would lie about the color of the sky if he thought he could get away with it. Sucks for him.
