The chairman of the Trump documentary The Apprentice, Ali Abbasi, posted a vulgar tweet on Monday, expressing his disappointment that his film has yet to find a distributor.
Responding to the current string of Hollywood package- office bombs,  , Ali Abbasi violently promoted The Apprentice, saying it’s” hardly a stupid sequel nor is it a stupid remake”.
He added:” For some reason certain power ]sic ] people in your country do n’t want you to see it!! “!
We have a fresh idea for you. It’s neither a stupid version nor a stupid sequel. It is called# The_Apprentice, and some powerful people in your nation do n’t want you to see it for whatever reason! https ://t.co/EMoptrEqCP

As Breitbart News reported,  , The Apprentice left this year’s Cannes Film Festival clear- handed, with no U. S. supply bargain following former President Donald Trump’s threat of a lawsuit as well as a cease- and- desist demand against the filmmakers.
In contrast, the film failed to win any medals at Cannes.
At this year’s event, The Apprentice attracted a lot of media attention, especially for the scene where Trump raped his first wife, Ivana. Trump is likewise depicted in the movie having botox and plastic surgery.
Ivana Trump herself denied that her then-husband had previously raped her.
Following the Cannes launch, Trump’s campaign threatened to sue the artists.
The key spokesperson for the Trump campaign, Steven Cheung, announced in a statement that” we will be filing a complaint against these blatantly false arguments.” This nonsense is real literature that sensationalizes lies that have been much refuted.
He also , called the video “malicious libel”.
A cease-and-desist notice was also sent to writer Gabriel Sherman and producer Ali Abbasi by Trump’s attorneys to warn them against pursuing a distribution package.
The legal behavior has had a chilling effect on the show’s business leads.
The four big players — Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and Apple — have all passed on the subject, as have specialist musical names Searchlight, Sony Pictures Classics, Focus, A24, HBO, and Lionsgate, according to a statement from Puck.
