The Apprentice film’s first clip portrays Trump under thumb of mentor Roy Cohn

Published



The first clip of former President Donald Trump’s biopic, The Apprentice, shows the former president being coached by lawyer Roy Cohn.

The clip shows Cohn, played by Jeremy Strong, pushing a young Trump, played by Sebastian Stan, to adopt the confidence and mannerisms he’s now known for. Cohn can be seen urging Trump to be more hyperbolic, pushing him to go from describing one of his buildings as the best “in the city” to the best in “the world.”
