The film centers on Trump's relationship with Roy Cohn, the McCarthy-era government lawyer who led investigations into suspected communists, portraying Cohn as a mentor for Trump in the hard-knocks world of New York City business and politics.
It includes a number of salacious and disturbing scenes involving Trump, Ivana Trump and other real-life figures.

"Everybody talks about him suing a lot of people – they don’t talk about his success rate though, you know?" Abbasi told reporters Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival.
Abbasi went on to claim he would be willing to privately screen the movie for Trump if the former president was open to it.
"I would offer to go and meet him wherever he wants and talk about the context of the movie, have a screening and have a chat afterwards, if that’s interesting to anyone at the Trump campaign," Abbasi said.
