Young Donald Trump: The film drama "The Apprentice"






From playboy and father’s boy to power figure: Ali Abbasi’s drama teaches you more about Donald Trump than you think.

Do you want to know all this exactly? He had liposuction from his hips and stomach because he was too lazy to exercise. Bald spots on the scalp were simply operated on. He popped amphetamine pills as regularly as if they were vitamins.

If you follow the film drama “The Apprentice”, Donald Trump was already busy with self-optimization at a young age, which corresponds to the vanity of the 78-year-old to this day. “The story actually has elements of Frankenstein,” says director Ali Abbasi, who comes from Iran and now lives in Denmark. He doesn’t refer this to Trump’s physical reinvention, but rather to his role model Roy Cohn.
