The movie, centered around Donald Trump’s life in the 1970s and ’80s, is facing criticism for its portrayal of an alleged rape committed by Trump. The scene in question shows Sebastian Stan, who plays Trump, raping his then-wife Ivana, played by Maria Bakalova, on the floor as she urges him to stop. The film’s director, Abbasi, appeared unconcerned at a press conference despite warnings of legal action from Trump’s campaign. Ivana Trump had previously accused Trump of rape in the late ’80s, but she later retracted her statement. The film’s release comes ahead of the 2024 US Presidential election, in which Trump is standing as the Republican candidate.
