Sherman also felt the scene was justified The apprentice Because, he wrote, “Trump has been credibly accused of sexual assault by many women over the years.” Trump has denied all such allegations. His lawyers put pressure on the publishers The Lost Tycoon to include an updated statement from Ivana clarifying that when she used the word “rape” under oath, she did not mean that Trump attacked her in a “criminal sense,” only that she felt violated.

The scene ends a marriage abruptly and aggressively The apprentice At least at first it seemed to be based on real love. The first scenes showing Trump’s relationship with Ivana have a romantic quality to them, with Trump trying to woo the elegant Czech model he met in 1976. In one scene he even goes skiing – a deeply romantic gesture for a man who believes it will cause you to die young. Accordingly The lost tycoon, The real Donald went even further to impress Ivana with their courtship: Hurt claims Trump flew to Aspen and took private ski lessons for two weeks before proposing to Ivana during a Christmas and New Year’s trip on the slopes.

Sherman used details from contemporary stories about Trump and Ivana in these scenes, including Marie Brenner‘S VF Story “After the Gold Rush”. The screenwriter says: “I think, both in real life and in the script, the turning point in their relationship was that when Ivana started working at the company, Donald couldn’t accept having a strong woman as an equal partner. I think it was her strength that initially attracted him to her – that she was a tough, independent woman – but then once he got her, when he won the prize of marriage, it all really unraveled as she took on more responsibility wanted within the company. And she caught the attention of the press. I think that’s what drove him crazy, that her name ended up in the papers and almost became a rival to him.”

However, Sherman adds, “To the extent that Donald Trump can feel love, I feel like she was the only woman where there was real love.” Even when she died, I think there was always one There is affection for her even when their relationship has been destroyed.”

Donald rejects his brother Fred shortly before the elder Trump’s death

Earlier apprentice Scenes show Donald showing some kindness towards his brother Fred – the eldest son and black sheep of the Trump family. But a little more than halfway through the film, the alcoholic Fred shows up on Trump’s doorstep in bad shape. Donald hasn’t returned his calls. Fred brought a gift for toddler Don Jr. and a request for his younger brother. “I know I’m a loser and all,” he says brokenly, his voice shaking. “But my grip is slipping a little. Things are starting to get a little scary. And I want to change.” Donald hugs Fred, but when Ivana offers to set up a guest room, Donald balks. He pulls some bills out of his wallet and tells Fred to stay at a hotel. Shortly afterwards, Fred dies.
