The Trump card to satire: is political parody losing its touch?
- The depiction of Donald Trump’s early years as a real estate developer in The Apprenticehas long been generating headlines, and legal threats. With Sebastian Stan taking on the lead role, Ali Abbasi’s biopic paints Trump in such an unflattering light that his camp has all but threatened to set Hollywood aflame. A standing ovation at Cannes notwithstanding, the film appears to have shaken the former president enough to prompt cease-and-desist letters from his lawyers, rattling sabers in defence of their image-conscious client.
- But is parody even effective when it comes to Trump? Is it possible, in 2024, to satirise someone who’s lived as if they’ve been performing satire all along? The form seems to have met its match in a man who has spent decades turning his life into a three-ring circus, often substituting bluster with farce in ways that outstrip anything that shows like Veep or Succession could cook up.
Parties hail court verdict on Section 6A of Citizenship Act
- Political parties across the spectrum on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court judgment on Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, inserted into the Act as a special provision to deal with the citizenship of people covered under the Assam Accord.

The Constitution Bench, led by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, also upheld the cut-off date of March 25, 1971, for entry into Assam and granting citizenship as correct.
- One of the signatories of the Assam Accord, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) described the judgment as a victory of the Assam movement.
