While most Americans and much of the civilized world are hoping and praying that Kamala Harris will defeat Donald Trump in next November's presidential election so we can forget about the orange-skinned Antichrist once and for all, a new biopic about the leader of Cult 45 is set to hit theaters in October. We've got a first look at what to expect upon release.

With Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, The Apprentice is sure to infuriate diehard MAGA members, as the Ali Abbasi-directed film portrays Donald Trump in a less than flattering light. According to Diversity, The film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and struggled to find a buyer due to its controversial nature as it included a scene in which Trump raped his then-wife Ivana Trump. His ex-wife confirmed that this happened when they were “happily” married.

Now that Briarcliff Entertainment has decided to take on the film and the hatred that will soon follow when MAGA members realize how their beloved leader is portrayed in this film, a clip for the film has been released that features Stan as Donald Trump riding alongside his all-time favorite lawyer, Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong). Sporting a blonde wig and tan suit (didn't Obama get a lot of hate for wearing similar clothes?), we see what Stan's version of Donald Trump might look like throughout the film. Frankly, he seems a little too stable and smart compared to the man we've seen over the past decade. Just a side note.

As far as we know, Donald Trump has not yet seen the film, but has already condemned it because he knows it will not put him in a good light.

diversity Reports:

The Trump team threatened legal action against the film and said in a statement: “This garbage is pure fiction and builds lies that have long been disproven.”

“The Apprentice” by author Gabe Sherman is touted as a “dive into the dark side of the American empire.” Martin Donovan also plays Fred Trump Sr.

Set in 1970s America, the film centers on Trump's relationship with Cohn, who served as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the military's hearings against McCarthy. Cohn came into the spotlight as a U.S. Justice Department prosecutor in the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, which led to their execution in 1953.

Expect more hateful rhetoric from Donald Trump and MAGA land as the premiere date of this film approaches and Election Day draws closer. Just a side note.

Watch the clip for The Apprentice and let us know if you'll be checking out the film when it hits theaters on October 11th.
