But next question: Who in the hell is going to watch a biopic of Donald Trump starring anyone, but especially Gary Busey?

I think Jack Nicholson would be fantastic, but I still wouldn't watch it.

Four years was enough.

The full-scale Jabba puppet was far more disgusting and loathsome than any CGI could make him.

just do the Joker with different makeup. I think that character was supposed to represent Dump anyway.

I was trying to cast the Trump miniseries for awhile, but the cast just got too big after awhile. Trump himself was one of the hardest ones to cast.

The easy call would be Alec Baldwin, of course, but we’d be thinking about SNL the whole time. Jeff Bridges is about the right age and size. Bryan Cranston does a pretty good Trump impression and has shown interest in playing Trump. Jon Voight looks like him a little, but his performance could be compromised because he’s a Trump supporter.

Obvious.
Alternative, camera point of view and the whole biopic is based on what others reflection back to the camera.

Title, "Thump Enabled"

And I certainly don't want to have to re-live what he did to this country. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives.

The actor chosen to portray the first mobster ever elected President of the United States has got to be able to play insane, obese and corrupt, and he has to be okay with wearing bizarre makeup.

Insane: Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence, Full Metal Jacket
Obese: Same role
Corrupt: Vic Hoskins, Jurassic World
Bizarre makeup: Edgar the Bug, Men in Black

Seriously. He'll tap into the charismatic evil that is Trump. Young Trump will be played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
