Donald Trump Movie Director Is Staying at Trump’s NYC Hotel, Says Their Suite Is ‘Dirty’: ‘It’s Not as Luxurious as You Would Think’
Ali Abbasi, the director of the controversial Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice,” has checked himself into the Trump International Hotel & Tower for the film’s New York City premiere.
“I feel like this is Trump International, and I’m International, and I did a Trump movie. So I think this is a marriage made in heaven,” the Iranian-Danish filmmaker said with a laugh Monday afternoon during a Zoom video call from his hotel room. “Also, I was curious. I wanted to sort of experience the Trump luxury, but it’s not. It’s not as luxurious as you would think.”
Abbasi gives a quick tour of the room. He points to a basic white floor lamp. “It’s not really a Trump lamp,” he said. “It’s very basic. The floor is not super clean. The outlets are a bit dirty. This is not very impressive for an executive suite.
