Time to Update Our Cast for the Trump Movie

In the last edition of this discussion, I remember everyone agreeing that Alec Baldwin had to play tRump, and Melissa McCarthy was Sean Spicer. No definite conclusions for Pence, Flynn, McConnell, Ryan, or Melania.

The cast of characters changes on a daily basis anymore, so its hard to tell who will be the most prominent by the end of the script, and who will have faded to bit parts. Currently, we need nominations for:

--Vladimir Putin (I vote for Gary Oldman. Made a great Russian in Air Force One)
--Robert Mueller (I got nothing)
--Rod Rosenstein (Christopher Meloni)
--John Bolton (Yosemite Sam does NOT count!)
--Paul Manafort (Aidan Quinn)
--Michael Cohen (Joe Pesci)
--Sarah H. Sanders (Hilary Swank)

Oh--and I almost forgot--Barack Obama (Will Smith) and Hillary Clinton.

And who should direct? Do you see this as more of a Ron Howard production, Spielberg, or M. Night Shyamalan?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Except I think Hilary Swank is too thin and nice to play the Hitler jail marm.

How about this one?



Or put a shaven Jack Black in a dress, heels, and heavy makeup. He'd do it.

Who is that?

Yes, I can see Jack Black in that role, and he probably wouldn't need much makeup.

I nominate a young actor named Lucas Adams who is currently playing "Tripp Johnson" on Days of our Lives.

...God knows, he has experience playing prosecutors. As for director--well, Ken Russell would have been perfect. "Ken Russell's Trump"--the movie practically makes itself. Just sorry Gore Vidal isn't around to write the screenplay. I don't think even Gore, though--inveterate cynic though he was--could have quite imagined this...

He not only has the look, but also the acting chops. This guy should be--we hope--the hero.

So, what will be the title of our movie?

I guess it depends on how this all turns out. "America, the Twilight Years", or "Saving America".

James Cromwell as James Comey (Cromwell is a lot older than Comey, but with makeup, he could pull it off, and he is very tall)

Others to cast include:
- Don Jr.
- Eric Trump
- Ivanka and Jared Kushner
- Unofficial Presidential Advisor Sean Hannity (Spanky talks to him daily)
