    That’s not what I’ve heard. The movie’s creator recently gave an interview on the The New Yorker Radio Hour, where he cited as one of the difficulties the film faced with financial backers and distributors that it included a scene of Trump raping Ivana Trump (a claim she later recanted under pressure from Trump’s lawyers).

      That’s what I’m talking about, as well as scenes showing Trump using amphetamines.

      Dan Snyder, who donated over $1 million to Trump’s campaign and also backed this film, was reportedly angry about the negative portrayals of Trump. He kept fighting the release of the movie until his company’s stake in the film was bought out, which is why it’s being shown now.
