apprentice Actor Jeremy Strong is perhaps best known for his role as Kendall Roy on HBO’s The Hunger Games. Inheritance The author of the series recently compared Donald Trump to dictators Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, and Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
moreover, Inheritance The star also stood behind mainstream media outlets such as CNN, NBC and The New York Times.
Strong’s inflammatory comments were made at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of the premiere of a biopic about Donald Trump. apprenticewhere Inheritance The star will play Roy Marcus Cohn, the former president’s lawyer and mentor.
“Right now, I wish I could be with you all, I am on stage in New York performing Henrik Ibsen’s play ‘An Enemy of the People,'” it read. apprentice Ali Abbasi, the director representing Strong.
He continues, “The term ‘enemy of the people’ has been used by Stalin, Mao, Goebbels and, more recently, Donald Trump in his attacks on the freedom of the press and his allegations against CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, [and] “The New York Times, Fake News Media.”
“We live in a world where truth is under attack, and in America, the attack on truth in many ways began in a malicious chrysalis when Donald Trump trained under Roy Cohn,” he added. “Cohn was called an ‘expert on attack’ by the National Law Journal, and at this perilous moment in history, we are living through the long, dark shadow of Roy Cohn.”
Quoting Strong, Abbasi continued: “His legacy of lies, total denial and manipulation is [and] A flagrant disregard for the truth leads to horrific consequences. Ali Abbasi has made a monster of a film in which one gives birth to the other.”
“This is an attempt to understand, in the words of the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam, ‘how the madness of this day was prepared yesterday,'” Strong’s statement concluded.
Abbasi himself disparaged Trump at the premiere. apprentice“When I made this film, people said, ‘Why would you make a film about Trump?’ If you want to say something about the world, do it in a good way, metaphorically,” he declared.
“What about a World War I movie? What about a World War I movie? What about American independence? What about the invasion of Russia?” the director asked, recalling the suggestions he was given. “The point is, there’s no nice metaphorical way to deal with the rising tide of fascism,” he added.

Determined to step out from the shadow of his powerful father and make a name for himself in Manhattan real estate, ambitious tycoon Donald J.

Abbasi’s calling Trump a fascist pales in comparison to what the director includes in his film. According to Variety, apprentice The video shows Trump throwing his ex-wife Ivanka to the floor and then having non-consensual sex with her.
“In one controversial scene, Ivana playfully gifts her husband with a book on the benefits of the female orgasm,” the outlet reported. “But the exchange soon turns dark, with a disinterested Trump telling his wife he’s no longer attracted to her.”
“They argue, Trump throws her to the ground, and a sardonic Trump sneers: ‘Is that your G-spot? Did I find it?'” Variety concludes its description of the controversial scene.
On Monday, political adviser and Trump campaign spokesman Steven Chan is apprenticethreatened legal action against the filmmakers, declaring that it “intends to file suit to address the demonstrably false claims made by these bogus filmmakers.”
“This garbage is a total fabrication that sensationalizes a lie that was long ago debunked,” Chang said. “Like the illegal Biden trial, this is election interference by Hollywood elites who know that nothing they’ve done has worked and that President Trump will take back the White House and defeat the candidate of their choice.”
