    rump biopic that shows him assaulting first wife will be released in
    US before election

    A controversial film in which former President Donald Trump is
    depicted an unflattering light in his early career as a New York real
    estate mogul has now secured a U.S. distribution deal to be shown in
    American theaters this fall.

    ...
    The source of the controversy surrounding the film is one particular
    scene in which a younger Trump is shown sexually assaulting his first
    wife, Ivana, in 1990. The scene stems from a claim she made in their
    divorce proceedings that Trump raped her. She later walked that
    statement back in 2015, saying instead that she felt violated in a
    more general way during their marriage. She passed away in 2022 and
    was buried on Trump's Bedminster, New Jersey golf course.

    The thought of a movie showing that guy having sex ... barf, no one
    needs to see that.

    Is this a mega-swiftboating? Or will it just give the Clown a pretext
    to say, 'this unfairly negatively affected the election, therefore the
    election results are invalid.'

    Answer to that question matters.

    Trump is threatening a lawsuit...unknown if a valid lawsuit.

    Question is, will other movie theaters show this film, after the first
    theater showing it burns down? I suspect all theaters have installed
    cameras inside/outside...
