The Apprentice
An American horror story.
A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

Donnie Baby!!! Cool film about rich people doing rich people shit. But wait! It's the president of the EEUU. Great performances. Nice period specific film effects. Not sure how accurate it is but I assume 100% if the greatest country in the world tried to stop its release.

However, I changed my mind after hearing about the recently announced Oscar nominations bes…
