‘The Apprentice’ Director ‘Grateful’ for Donald Trump’s Complaints

“The Apprentice” director Ali Abbasi is not sweating Donald Trump‘s harsh criticism of his flick … in truth, he is encouraging 45 to maintain posting concerning the biopic.

We caught up with the filmmaker on “TMZ Live” Monday, the place we acquired Abbasi’s trustworthy response to Trump blasting “The Apprentice” on his social media platform, Reality Social.

As Abbasi places it … he has no drawback with the previous prez taking to social media to air his grievances, because the response solely brings extra eyeballs to the controversial film.

He notes … “Thanks to him we get better publicity and we get more people to come and watch it now. So, I’m grateful.”

When requested if he plans to talk with Trump immediately concerning the movie, Abbasi makes it clear he is accessible to the Republican nominee and his household if they need him to host a screening.

He continues … “I also think he is curious. I would be curious too. It would be fun for him and it would be fun for me. We can sit together. Why not?”

Although, we doubt Trump will take Abbasi up on his provide … with DT having referred to as “The Apprentice” a “fake and classless” film, in addition to “a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job.”

Trump accused Abbasi of constructing and releasing the film as an effort to thwart his 2024 re-election effort.
