Years from now.

When a movie is made, who would you cast in the main rolls. Pick anyone, living or dead and we will have a few laughs

Here are a few of my picks:
Donald Trump - Rodney Dangerfield would have been great
Jarrad Kushner - Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper)
Ivanka - Reese Witherspoon maybe

Who else?

At the idea of Rodney Dangerfield playing Trump. Sheer brilliance. OMD, that would be the funniest thing in the world.



on edit: think about Rodney as Trump playing the scene with the hamburgers and pizza he put out for the Clemson team. It would be a comedy classic.

Donald Trump: Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie in Goodfellas.
Qualification: experience in playing mob bosses, and will fit in Trump's suits better than Trump does. Or you could just hire Vincent D'Onofrio and have him reenact his "Private Pyle" routine from Full Metal Jacket.

Jared Kushner: Jack Nicholson.
Qualification:



Donald Trump Jr.: Harpo Marx
Qualification: what qualification do you need to play the dumbest Trump son?

Eric Trump: Hal Smith
Qualification: Hal played Otis Campbell, the town drunk in the Andy Griffith Show. He seems perfect for the part of the Trump son who owns his own winery.

Melania Trump: Leona Helmsley
Qualification: To pull this role off, you've got to be able to have a "the peasants have no bread? Charge them to eat cake!" vibe going on.

Ivanka Trump: Kim Kardashian
Qualification: None really, but this just feels right.

Robert Mueller: Jonathan Pryce
Qualification: Mueller needs to be played by a really classy guy. Pryce is just the man we're looking for.

Hillary Clinton: Herself
Qualification: Lots of experience in the role.

The warden at the prison all the Trumps are going to be locked up in: Christoph Walz
Qualification: Can be a truly scary SOB when he needs to be.

All Trump's former cabinet members: Mel Blanc
Qualification: We won't actually be seeing these people on-screen. Trump will fire them over the phone, which means it'll be cheaper to hire one really versatile voice actor than to get 80 different people to play all Trump's rejects.

Vladimir Putin: Sasha Baron Cohen
Qualification: Did a nice job playing an Eastern European in "Borat."
