    Nah, I think I’ll absolutely promo the “crap” that Trump desperately doesn’t want people to watch.

      I think we’re now at the point where an advertising company saying someone “doesn’t want you to watch it” means that person desperately wants you to watch it, no?

        No.

        “We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Hill. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked. As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked.”

        “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,” Cheung continued.

        Anyway, I don’t know if that’s how they’re advertising it. That’s just how I titled the post. Because it’s true.

          Who the hell talks like that. It sounds like a north Korean propaganda speech.

          EDIT: it actually perfectly captures what the movie says was taught to trump…

          Cohn takes Trump under his corrupted wing, teaching him the three rules by which he lives:

          1. Attack, attack, attack;
          1. Admit nothing, deny everything; and
          1. No matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat. It’s a sickeningly familiar playbook to anyone who’s watched the news in the past decade.

          Cool, thanks for clarifying. I wouldn’t watch it either way, right enough 🤣
