This was a missed opportunity for DEI. If they had a black actor playing Trump, I might have considered seeing it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Several shocking moments late in the film — a scene depicting Trump’s alleged rape of his first wife Ivana and a surgery room sequence showing Trump getting liposuction — drew audible gasps from the Cannes premiere crowd.

I am enthusiastically looking forward to not seeing it.

Another Trump hatchet job, how cutting edge for HollyWierd.

Maybe a black woman who identifies as a man?? That would make it much more relevant.

[nwrep]

It confirms all their prejudices against him.

What bothers me is the idea they can say anything they like
in the effort to destroy Trump. True? Untrue? Who cares?
These people are the very fascists they seek to destroy.

They don’t even have the tools to grasp that, or much of
anything else for that matter.

Ooo, do you think this will destroy his political career?
Okay! Lets give this a try...

They can’t dispute his claims about their plans, so the
effort to destroy becomes their last bastion of hope.

“”There is no nice metaphorical way to deal with the rising wave of fascism,” director Ali Abbasi said when asked why he wanted to make the film about the former president’s rise to power in 1980s America. “I think it’s time to make movies relevant. It’s time to make movies political again.””

When a director named Ali Abbasi with extremist views like that decides to make a movie about Trump ... I just have to ask — who is paying him to make such a film now?

Morris Day would have been perfect for the part.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Orange Man Bad” is as far as their intellectual training wheels can take them.

[Major Matt Mason]

Just in time for election year, of course. A movie made by people that hate Donald Trump.

[DoughtyOne]

Boy, no kidding...

[pburiak]

Oh wow more ORANGEMANBAD fanfic.

How original.

[Wuli]

When Left/Liberal/Progressive people in the film industry speak of some film as politically relevant, you KNOW it means pokitcally super-biased and irrelevant to everyone else beside the film making elite.

[Liz]

Stan as Trump.

[laconic]

More trash from the Trash of Hollywood in the County of LA whose commissioners recently voted to “honor” the traitor Jane Fonda with a day. The UK Daily Mail breathlessly reported today on a Saturday Night Live skit making fun of Trump; quite oddly, the scumbo “comedians” on that show never find it funny that we have a “president” who can’t speak a coherent sentence, who constantly remembers a son “killed in combat” who died of cancer as a 47 year old civilian, who recalls events that never happened while he was VP, that throws racism charges against his opponents when he referred to busing resulting in “jungle” schools, who can’t walk off a stage or find the exit. No, none of that is noticed or funny for the trash of Hollywood.

[Robert DeLong]

I think they know very well that they are fascist, however, the ones they attract have no clue that they are the fascists.

Can't wait for the lawsuits against the producer, director, hell, anybody involved.

In regards to this movie I am filled with an intense BURNING indifference. </Doofenschmirtz>
