An upcoming film titled The Apprentice is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival. The film chronicles the early years of the life of former United States President Donald Trump, but very few people have seen the film up to this point to know anything about it. However, based on the reaction from former NFL owner Dan Snyder, it doesn’t sound like the movie will make Trump look very good.
According to a report from Variety, Dan Snyder – the former owner of the Washington Commanders – invested in the movie through the company Kinematics, which he backs financially, and he is so unhappy with the way that Donald Trump is portrayed in the film that it sounds like he’s trying to prevent the film from ever being released.
“Sources say Snyder, a friend of Trump’s who donated $1.1. million to his inaugural committee and Trump Victory in 2016 and $100,000 to his 2020 presidential campaign, put money into the film via Kinematics because he was under the impression that it was a flattering portrayal of the 45th president. Snyder finally saw a cut of the film in February and was said to be furious. Kinematics’ lawyers were enlisted to fight the release of The Apprentice, and the cease-and-desist letters began flying,” Variety reported.
If Snyder is this upset about Trump’s portrayal in the film, that sounds like it’s pretty bad news for Trump as he prepares for the upcoming 2024 presidential election cycle.
