If there’s one thing former President Donald Trump adores, it’s being the center of attention.
His lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, was not happy about it.
“The Donald said yes,” producer David Latt told The Hollywood Reporter.
“He was thrilled to be asked.”
“Donald’s thinking about making a legitimate run for the presidency,” Latt recalled Cohen saying.
“So, we’ll get back to you.
This might not be the best time.”
“We immediately heard from Trump’s lawyer,” Latt toldThe Hollywood Reporter.
“He basically said, ‘How dare you?
Donald wanted to do this.
We’re going to sue you!
We’re going to shut the entire show down!'”
Casting director Gerald Webb recalled things differently after Trump had already become president.
“I took it personally, but I get it now,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
“That was my moment of doing business with Donald Trump.”
