Trump’s alleged sexual assault on his ex-wife Ivanka

According to a USA Today report, in one scene in the film, Trump tells Ivana that he is no longer attracted to her, to which she responds that he is fat and bald. Donald Trump then threw her to the ground, climbed on top of her and sexually assaulted his wife as she screamed for him to stop, the report said. The alleged rape is taken from a court deposition “that Ivana gave under oath during her divorce in 1990,” says Gabriel Sherman. “In fact, the scene she described in the divorce papers was far more graphic and brutal than the one we dramatized in the film.” Later in 2015, during his first presidential campaign, Ivana recanted her rape allegations. The scene sparked an uproar as Trump intimidated the filmmakers with a cease-and-desist letter and attempted to block the film’s release.

Trump blasts filmmakers

Donald Trump, who is engaged in a neck-and-neck battle with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, has slammed filmmakers on Truth Social and questioned the filmmakers’ right to use that name without permission.

“It is a cheap, defamatory and politically repugnant hatchet job carried out just before the 2024 presidential election to damage the greatest political movement in our country’s history: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he wrote.

“The author of this garbage heap, Gabe Sherman, a mean and talentless scribbler who has long been widely discredited, knew this but chose to ignore it,” he continued.

“It is so sad that HUMAN SCUM, just like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want to harm a political movement that is much bigger than any of us,” concluded the ex-president.

However, according to the film’s author, the scene that Ivana recounted in her divorce papers was “actually far more graphic and brutal than the one we dramatized in the film.”
