Actor Jeremy Strong compared former President Donald Trump to Stalin and Mao and even defended CNN, in a statement to the Cannes Film Festival following the world premiere Monday of The Apprentice.
His comment comes after The Apprentice director Ali Abbasi smeared Trump as a fascist following the screening.
Jeremy Strong, who plays Trump mentor Roy Cohn in the movie, is appearing in a Broadway production of Ibsen’s Enemy of the People and couldn’t attend the premiere.
In a statement read aloud by Abbasi during a press conference on Tuesday, the actor used the play’s title to attack Trump.
“‘Enemy of the people’ is a phrase that has been used by Stalin, Mao, by Goebbels, and most recently by Donald Trump who denounces the free press and calls CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the New York Times, fake news media,” he said.
