This is going to make one heckuva movie, when all is said & done. Who should be in it?

There was All the President's Men. But I think the Trump story will be every bit as riveting a tale, if not more so.

The main cast of characters:
Trump - (John Travolta? Michael Douglas?)
Pence
Sessions
Flynn
Spicie
Mooch - (hottie Michael Buonomo?)
Bannon
Jared Kushner
Ivanka
Trump Jr.
Priebus - (Stanley Tucci?)
COMEY
MUELLER
ROSENSTEIN

There would be cameos of tv broadcasters/pundits/reporters, like Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, O'Donnell, Hannity, O'Reilly.

Notice how the characters would all be white, and all but Ivanka are male? There could be a small part for Ben Carson. Are there any other minorities in the Trump team?

He certainly can do the nutjob aspect perfectly, and oddly, I think he looks a bit like Eric *rump.

The hairdo would be a no-brainer.

And Pauly Shore played a great Stephen Miller in a video I saw here a couple nights ago!

Steve Carell for penny is a no-brainer.
I'd like DeNiro for the don.
And Galiflanakis for bannon.

You know these days they have to make several stand-alone movies to introduce the key members of Mueller's team (and maybe some solo villain movies), it will be like 10-15 years before we get the big team-up vs. Trump-Putin film :p.
