      “The Apprentice,” a dramatized origin story about Donald J. Trump, has faced fierce criticism from the former president and his allies.

      The thing I am excited about is that they are not talking about suing for defamation. That makes me think it must be super true.

      I could be completely wrong, but I think we would hear if it is a puff piece.

        I don’t necessarily mean that it’s trying to make him look good, but that it would backfire and that It would not do any damage. For example, the movie the Wolf of Wall Street should really be a damming Story about the dangers of the stock market in criminal activity. But I think a great number of people envied DiCaprio’s character.

        Well they need to hurry up because after last night’s debate, it’s going to take a miracle for Biden to win.

          Or another debate where he does well and Trump does terribly or something else that changes voters’ opinions. There’s months between now and November.

            Biden can barely talk. Sure, Trump is lying with every word but people don’t care about truth.

              Biden can barely talk.

              That’s utter nonsense. Yes, I realize he did not do well in the debate, but that is basically Trump campaign rhetoric that started before the debate.
