The director of 'The Apprentice,' a new biopic about Donald Trump, is defending the film amid controversy and threats of a lawsuit from Trump and his team. The movie, starring Sebastian Stan as Trump, has sparked significant backlash, particularly over a scene depicting marital rape. Trump has criticized the film, calling it 'garbage' and accusing it of election interference. The Trump campaign has announced plans to sue the filmmakers, claiming the biopic is filled with debunked lies. Despite the controversy, the director maintains that the film is a political statement and stands by its content.
