The controversial Trump biopic, which opened in theaters on October 11, “follows Trump through his rise to power” in the '70s and '80s and depicts Trump's relationship with his mentor Roy Cohn. There is.
“I covered Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. new york The magazine I was working at at the time. And I was struck by what people who work for Trump (who have known him since the '80s) told me. He said he was able to do so well on the campaign trail because he applied many of the lessons his mentor, Roy Cohn, taught him. '' explained Sherman.
Sherman added that Cohn “has three rules” that Trump uses in politics.
“The three rules are number one, attack, attack, attack. Number two is to deny everything and never admit or recant. And number three is to claim victory. And… These three lessons are part of what makes Donald Trump so powerful as a candidate,” Sherman added.
“I thought, you know what? Maybe there's a story about how Donald Trump, who came from the suburbs of New York and had money but didn't have a lot of status, learned these lessons and became president. There's going to be a great movie about what it would have been like to be in that position,” Sherman added.
While doing his research, Sherman said he was “shocked” by Trump's “early” beliefs that America was “exploited” and that “America is not respected.” ” he added.
“When I did my research and looked back at his early days, I was struck by the idea that America is being lied to, that America is not respected. He held views dating back to the 1970s. “I was surprised in some ways that he was consistent about it,” Sherman said.
“He was trying to build a luxury building in Manhattan at a time when Manhattan was in decline and everyone thought he was crazy. That's why I think it's such an interesting story. I think that's the other thing that really struck me because you see the side of Trump that the world didn't take him seriously because he was in his 20s. Donald Trump was 27 years old when he built the hotel in midtown Manhattan, and his father had built middle-class apartment buildings in Brooklyn and Queens. I had to convince him to take my father seriously.”
While writing, Sherman added that “the character of the young Trump” is that he is “relentless” and “unstoppable.”
“I think the other thing that struck me as I was writing this character of young Trump was his relentlessness. He doesn't stop until he accomplishes what he sets out to do. I think he's a really interesting guy, even if it's something like that,” Sherman added.
