The Trump campaign has released a scathing statement condemning the new film "The Apprentice" as "blatantly false" and "a work of fiction."
The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, stars Vincent Cassel as a Trump-like figure who uses his reality TV show to manipulate and control people.
The Trump campaign said in a statement that the film is "a complete distortion of reality" and that "it is clear that the filmmakers have no understanding of President Trump or his policies."
The campaign also accused the filmmakers of "using the name 'The Apprentice' to cash in on the success of President Trump's show."
"This film is nothing more than a cheap attempt to make money off of President Trump's name," the statement said.
The filmmakers have defended the film, saying that it is not a direct attack on Trump but rather a cautionary tale about the dangers of populism.
"The film is not about Trump, it's about the rise of populism and the way that it can be used to manipulate people," director Jacques Audiard said in an interview.
The film has been met with mixed reviews from critics. Some have praised it as a timely and thought-provoking film, while others have criticized it for being too heavy-handed and didactic.
The film is sure to generate controversy, as it comes at a time when Trump is facing intense scrutiny over his policies and his rhetoric.
The Trump campaign's statement is just the latest example of the president's efforts to silence his critics. Trump has repeatedly attacked the media and has even suggested that journalists should be imprisoned.
The president's critics say that his attacks on the media are an attempt to undermine the First Amendment and to create a climate of fear and intimidation.
The Trump campaign's statement is a clear indication that the president is not going to let his critics get away with criticizing him. The campaign is likely to continue to use its considerable resources to attack and discredit Trump's opponents.
It remains to be seen whether the Trump campaign's efforts will be successful. But one thing is for sure: the battle between Trump and his critics is far from over.
