The film "The Apprentice" explores Donald Trump's early years, focusing on his relationship with mentor Roy Cohn during the early 1970s. The Trump Corporation faced legal challenges related to the Fair Housing Act at that time. Cohn's courtroom tactics influenced Trump, leading him to seek Cohn's advice on various matters, including tax negotiations and a prenuptial agreement. The film illustrates how Trump's character developed through Cohn's mentorship, particularly through three key rules: attack relentlessly, deny everything, and claim victory. The narrative transitions from the 1970s to the 1980s, showcasing a role reversal between Trump and Cohn. Sebastian Stan portrays Trump, while Jeremy Strong plays Cohn. The film aims to highlight that Trump's controversial traits were rooted in his past, and it is currently being shown in theaters.
