Trump the Movie

You know, one day, when Hollywood decides to make a movie about the Trump years, and you know that they will, it will be stunning that most of the criminals in the Trump orbit and even Trump himself would make ideal cast choices. By that, I mean that they seem to resemble characters in a movie more than they resemble real-life people.

The only problem is that no one would believe such a hokey premise to begin with and where would you find cast members as spot-on accurate outside of the Trump cabal. Who could actually play a maniacal narcissistic blowhard better than Trump himself? How do you even begin to find a character like Rudy Giuliani that isn't a caricature of every New York Mafioso ever to grace the silver screen?

I guess the point is that each and every player in this rolling dumpster fire would make a great choice as a cast member to play themselves because they aren't even smart enough to even try and conceal the criminals they are.

And still, there are legions of morons that are so weak themselves that they look at Donald Trump and somehow see strength.

He did a great job with The Big Short and Vice.

There is so much, it could be a trilogy (2016 campaign, presidency, J6 and aftermath) or even a limited series on Netflix.
