Would Donald Trump want to watch The Apprentice? Ali Abbasi replies
The Apprentice director claims that he would want to screen The Apprentice for Donald Trump. According to Ali Abbasi, the politician would not dislike the movie.
Abbasi said, “Everybody talks about him suing a lot of people — they don’t talk about his success rate though, you know? I don’t necessarily think that this is a movie he would dislike.”
Continuing on the same lines, the filmmaker shared, “I don’t necessarily think he would like it. I think he would be surprised, you know? And like I’ve said before, I would offer to go and meet him wherever he wants and talk about the context of the movie, have a screening, and have a chat afterwards, if that’s interesting to anyone at the Trump campaign.”

The trio dazzled at the event, where Stan donned a grey and yellow suit while Abbasi appeared looking casual in a white shirt and pants.
