The movie, which focuses on Trump's younger years as a real estate developer, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week.

Former President Donald Trump is trying to stop a movie about him from being released by sending a cease-and-desist letter to the filmmakers.

Trump sent the letter on Friday to the filmmakers behind "The Apprentice," in an attempt to stop the biopic from being released in the United States, Variety reported.

The movie, which focuses on Trump's younger years as a real estate developer, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week, but it failed to clinch any awards, according to The Hill.

"If you do not immediately cease and desist all distribution and marketing of this libelous farce, we will be forced to pursue all appropriate legal remedies," the cease and desist letter stated. 

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung warned that the campaign would sue the filmmakers for making "blatantly false assertions" in the movie.

"This 'film' is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire," Cheung said last week.

Election interference. Trump can bankrupt them in legal morass.

Knowing the morons on the left, it will get released and people will view Trump as a badass bolstering his numbers.

According to Variety, the Canadian government provided funding for The Apprentice, as have the Irish and Danish governments. Heading into the Cannes festival, sales outfit Rocket Science, along with CAA and WME, was shopping the movie with the aim of a U.S. distribution ahead of the November election.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the WEF was behind this movie.
