Before the biopic’s UK premiere, Strong told News, “We all knew we were playing with fire getting involved with [this], but it also felt just supremely important and meaningful to try and understand and tell the story about how Donald Trump became who he is now.” The film chronicles the presidential candidate’s rise to prominence as a New York real estate developer in the 1970s.
As a movie, I believe it stands alone, but it also contains information that I believe many Americans are unaware of.
Given the current stakes, it would be beneficial for everyone to learn more about the origins of this and how we got here,” Strong emphasized.
In addition to showing the former president undergoing cosmetic surgery and using diet pills, the film, which was co-authored by Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman, who has published biographies on both Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohn, most controversially shows him raping his first wife, Ivana.
