Billionaire Trump Supporter Dan Snyder Blocking Release of ‘The Apprentice’
SUMMARY
Billionaire Dan Snyder, former owner of the Washington Redskins (now Commanders) and a Trump supporter, is reportedly blocking the domestic release of "The Apprentice," a controversial biopic portraying Donald Trump as a young rapist. Snyder, indirectly invested in the film through his son-in-law's production company, Kinematics, has veto power over distribution deals. The movie, financed independently and criticized by Trump's camp as defamatory fiction, failed to secure a U.S. distributor after its Cannes premiere. Starring Sebastian Stan as Trump, it depicts him allegedly assaulting Ivana Trump, a claim she has denied. Despite ambitions to impact the 2024 election, experts dismiss its electoral influence.
