The man sitting next to Trump is his mentor, one of the most horrible people who ever lived, Roy Cohn.
Here is a review from Entertainment Weekly, which gives it a B+.

The first thing that stands out to me is that they got a ruggedly handsome, well dressed man to play him, instead of a fat blob, with freakishly weird hair, and a bald spot. So unrealistic.
Apparently he gets fatter and uglier as the movie progresses.
LOL, that’s a nice touch, but he’s never been fit or handsome, not even as a young man.
This movie sounds like the tell-all that helps explain the origin of the worst president in US history. Can’t wait to see it.
Don’t promo this crap!
Nah, I think I’ll absolutely promo the “crap” that Trump desperately doesn’t want people to watch.
I think we’re now at the point where an advertising company saying someone “doesn’t want you to watch it” means that person desperately wants you to watch it, no?
No.
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Hill. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked. As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked.”
“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 continued.
Anyway, I don’t know if that’s how they’re advertising it. That’s just how I titled the post. Because it’s true.
Who the hell talks like that. It sounds like a north Korean propaganda speech.
EDIT: it actually perfectly captures what the movie says was taught to trump…
Cohn takes Trump under his corrupted wing, teaching him the three rules by which he lives:
- Attack, attack, attack;
- Admit nothing, deny everything; and
- No matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat. It’s a sickeningly familiar playbook to anyone who’s watched the news in the past decade.
Cool, thanks for clarifying. I wouldn’t watch it either way, right enough 🤣

Chill out. The Trump campaign is suing over this movie it might actually be good and truthful for once lmao
Time for some fact-checking and introspection, mate.
No. I’m quite clear that this promo shit is more harmful than good. It’s past the point of meaning anything to anyone other than more exposure to the MAGA cult.
I wonder how it will stack up against the W movie
Somewhat unrelated, what the fuck is up with Lemmy not auto-loading YouTube thumbnails on new posts? I have to fetch the thumbnail PNG image each time, and not everybody knows how to do that. This is not a problem with any other link type.
Lemmy has had a weird relationship with YouTube for a long time. For a while, it was doing the auto-description in various languages that seemed to change over time. I’m sure it’s entirely on YouTube’s end.
It’s not. I can easily pull the thumbnail image of any YouTube video. Same with
yt-dlp.For some reason, Lemmy can’t figure out this simple template:

After Succession, I’m so looking forward to watching Jeremy Strong play another sleazy businessman.
