Apparently Trump wants to make Gabe Sherman’s movie a success

As ‘The Apprentice’ Seeks Cannes Sale, Trump Team Sends Cease and Desist Letter to Block Film’s Release

Attorneys for Donald Trump have sent a cease and desist letter to the filmmakers behind “The Apprentice” in an effort to block its U.S. sale and release. It warns the team behind the film not to pursue a distribution deal, according to two people who have read the letter. “The Apprentice,” which looks at Trump’s early years as a real estate developer and his relationship with Roy Cohn, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week.

“The film is a fair and balanced portrait of the former president,” the producers of the film said in a statement regarding the cease-and-desist letter. “We want everyone to see it and then decide.”

The movie, which was independently produced, stars Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Cohn. It presents a damning portrait of the former president as an ethically compromised, philanderer who stiffs contractors and cuts deals with the mob to get his buildings completed. It includes other controversial details, including a scene where Trump rapes his first wife, Ivana, and depicts him abusing amphetamines to lose weight, as well as undergoing liposuction and plastic surgery.

Trump’s camp responded with a blistering note, threatening legal action. “This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire,” Steven Cheung, Trump campaign communications director, said in a statement.

When reached for comment about the letter, the Trump campaign referred to its earlier statement on the film.

“The Apprentice” was directed by Ali Abbasi, the Iranian-Danish filmmaker behind “Holy Spider” and “Border,” and features a script by Gabriel Sherman, a journalist who covered the Trump administration.

At a press conference in Cannes for “The Apprentice,” Abbasi responded to Trump’s legal threats. “Everybody talks about him suing a lot of people — they don’t talk about his success rate though, you know?” he said. He also offered to screen the movie for Trump, saying, “I don’t necessarily think that this is a movie he would dislike.”

Meet the Jewish Woman Who Helped Lay the Groundwork for Planned Parenthood

Four years before women won the right to vote in the United States, Margaret Sanger — the future founder of Planned Parenthood — and her sister, Ethel Byrne, met a young Jewish immigrant named Fania Mindell. On October 16, 1919, the trio opened the country’s first birth control clinic, located in a tenement in Brownsville, New York.

As Planned Parenthood makes contemporary headlines, both for a planned Republic attempt to discontinue its federal funding and for the vigorous response of the organization and its many supporters, that tiny clinic’s legacy looms large.

It stayed open only ten days, after which it was shut down for violating the Comstock Law, a federal act that made it illegal to disseminate information about birth control. It served over 100 women on its first day in business, many mothers arriving with their children in tow, an unmistakable sign of the community’s need for services like those the clinic provided. Sanger, a public figure for years prior to opening the clinic, rode a wave of national popularity upon emerging from the monthlong prison sentence she served after her arrest for operating it. That approbation enabled her to make her next big move in 1921, when she founded the first American Birth Control Conference. In 1942, that Conference renamed itself as the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Mindell’s contribution to the clinic made fewer headlines, but presaged some of Planned Parenthood’s most important work. Born in Minsk, Russia, Mindell spoke English, Italian, and Yiddish, making her a crucial liaison to Brownsville’s diverse, heavily immigrant community. She went door-to-door in the neighborhood while the clinic was in operation, handing out pamphlets about its services; when Jewish clients visited the clinic, she translated the advice of Sanger and Byrne, both nurses, into Yiddish. Like Sanger and Byrne, she was arrested when the clinic was closed. The other women went to jail, where Byrne staged a public attention-grabbing hunger strike; Mindell, convicted of disturbing the peace, was fined $50 — the exact amount of the donation that enabled Sanger to open the clinic.

Mindell’s efforts to bring information about birth control to immigrant communities found a powerful legacy in Planned Parenthood’s programming: Planned Parenthood Global, the organization’s international division, serves women in under-resourced areas in 13 countries outside the United States, and Planned Parenthood has also become a vocal supporter of immigration reform.

Mindell, a social worker when she was involved with the Brownsville clinic, went on to design costumes and sets for Broadway before marrying the historian Ralph Edmund LeClercq Roeder and settling in Mexico City. She passed away in 1969, almost living to witness another seminal moment for women’s reproductive rights in the United States, the 1973 decision legalizing abortion in Roe v. Wade. And if she were in Brooklyn now, 101 years after her groundbreaking work with Sanger and Byrne? It’s fair to guess she’d be out there on the street, with a Planned Parenthood clipboard, working to preserve women’s healthcare for the next generations — one more time.

A military plane carrying Malawi’s vice president is missing and a search is underway

 

A military plane carrying Malawi‘s vice president and nine others went missing Monday and a search is underway, the president’s office said.

The plane carrying 51-year-old Vice President Saulos Chilima left the southern African nation’s capital, Lilongwe, at 9.17 a.m. but failed to land as scheduled around 45 minutes later at Mzuzu International Airport, about 370 kilometers (230 miles) to the north.

Aviation authorities lost contact with the plane when it “went off radar,” according to a statement from Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera’s office. Chakwera ordered a search operation and canceled a trip to the Bahamas, his office said.

“All efforts to make contact with the aircraft since it went off radar have failed thus far,” it said.

Chakwera was informed of the missing plane by Gen. Valentino Phiri, the head of the Malawian armed forces. The president ordered national and local authorities to “conduct an immediate search and rescue operation to locate the whereabouts of the aircraft,” his office said.

Chilima had been facing corruption charges over allegations that he received money in return for influencing the awarding of government contracts, but the charges were surprisingly dropped by prosecutors last month. That led to criticism that Chakwera’s administration was not taking a hard enough stance against graft.

Chilima was arrested in late 2022 and made several court appearances, but the trial had not started. He denied the allegations.

Chilima was a candidate in the 2019 Malawian presidential election and finished third. That vote that was won by incumbent Peter Mutharika but was annulled by Malawi’s Constitutional Court because of irregularities. Chakwera finished second in that election.

Chilima then joined Chakwera’s campaign as his running mate in the historic election rerun in 2020, when Chakwera was elected president. It was the first time in Africa that an election result that was overturned by a court resulted in a defeat for the sitting president.
