I think Mickey Rourke would be a great Trump.

Brendan Gleeson is a terrific actor. It’s got to be hard for anyone to play Trump seriously because he’s such a cartoon of a man. x

It's a shame Divine isn't alive to play him.

Nothing will beat Baldwin on SNL. The puckered lips seal the deal.

Jeff Daniels as Comey?

I don't see it. Jon Hamm or Thomas Gibson, perhaps. Is Daniels especially tall?

Gleeson is the spit of Steve Bannon, but I guess I could see him as Trump.

Gleeson is a fine actor. I've seen him play all kinds of roles, and he has this edge of subtle menace about him when he is playing a bad guy, that could be very effective if he plays Trump. The only role I didn't care for him, was when he played Winston Churchill. He did a good job, he just wasn't Winston, anymore than John Lithgow could be Winston. Once Albert Finney played Winston Churchill, that was it. No one else compares.

Will any of Gleeson's sons play Trump Boys?

Trump is so fucking ridiculous itd hard for even a good actor to make not not just a caricature or spoof. But that's exactly what he is so just be over the top and ridiculous?

Someone send some spray tanner to Brendan, stat!

Not fat enough.

He can start eating Burger King every day (much like the man he is playing) to gain weight

I misunderstood and imagined Brendan Fraser

Gleeson would be perfect as Bannon. I think Brendan Frazier could play Trump...he can act. After they get the wig right and a fat suit, about anyone could play him. Who would play Melanie?

by Anonymousreply 16November 6, 2019 7:16 PM

R1 I think Mickey Rooney would make a great Trump, even if he is dead. Basically the same difference.

by Anonymousreply 17November 6, 2019 7:29 PM

Yes, Brendon Frazier could play Trump . He might not need a fat suit as he varies in weight. I still think of him as a young man, I hate aging!

It’s hard to imagine Brendan Gleeson at 5 or 10, running around the yard, playing ball and being thin. Now, he looks like he eats children.

by Anonymousreply 19November 6, 2019 8:00 PM

Hmm. I would.

by Anonymousreply 20November 6, 2019 8:54 PM

Is James Comey's making $$ off of this?

by Anonymousreply 21November 6, 2019 9:34 PM

Rosie O'Donnell would still make the best Trump.
