Comedy legend Mel Brooks is a huge Donald Trump fan, but not because of his political prowess.
The "Spaceballs" and "Blazing Saddles" director said Tuesday that the Republican presidential candidate, who currently is fourth in the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings, is "grist for the comic mill and we need it, God bless him."
"I hope he never drops out of the race," Brooks continued. "If I were doing a sitcom I'd do it about a powerful idiot like this guy, who's running a big corporation or a big network and we'd get to see behind the scenes what an idiot he is."
Brooks made the comments to Entertainment Weekly's Gillian Telling after being asked, "What do you think about the comedy landscape these days?"
He responded by discussing the hilarity he found in Trump's public battle with Fox News.
"The most interesting thing happening was Fox News turning on Trump," Brooks said. "That's hysterical. It's like Bavaria fighting with Austria - they're both Germans!"
"I like Trump," he went on to say. "Thank God for Trump."
Trump ended his Fox News boycott in September when he went on the "The O'Reilly Factor" for an interview with Bill O'Reilly.

Sadly, Brooks comes off like another liberal Jew who is probably cheering Obama’s decision to import thousands of Jew-hating mid-easterners to our shores. I’ll take Trump’s idiocy over liberal intelligentsia any day.
Anytime Mel wants to move to say, Southern Syria and practice his brand of humor he’s welcome to.
If we were to elect the kind of people he thinks should be in government, that’s the world he’d end up in.
That’s why Mel’s so funny! He lives in a world of cognitive dissonance.
Apparently, Mel Brooks hasn't looked in the mirror in the last few decades.
He would have found his idiot years ago.
Trump versus the joke Muslim now in the white hut
Yeah, been a real lack of comedic material out of this White House cuz Obummers so damn cool!
Besides it would be disrespectful of the office. At least until a Republican in the occupant.
I always thought Mel was a comedian and not truly the bigot his movies portray. Count me corrected.
Why did you stop doing movies Mel?
Or 1/10th as funny.
Thank God for Mel Brooks!
I’m not surprised he’s a raging liberal. I’m thinking back to one of his movies (can’t remember the title).
Well, he is the only one fighting for you to keep your head on your shoulders Mel.
I NEVER found Mel Brooks’ humor funny. I know I’m in the minority on that, but all of his stuff was just crude and stupid.
I wish I was as big an idiot as Mel thinks Trump is. I could use 10 billion dollars.
I never cared for Mel Brooks humor. He had close friends that I thought were brilliant, but not him. And they were raving libs, so this isn’t about politics.
“I NEVER found Mel Brooks’ humor funny. I know I’m in the minority on that,”
Not hardly
Mel had talented friends like Carl Reiner and Sid Caesar. Mel couldn’t shine their shoes, talent-wise.
Wow, a leftist Jew, man I’m surprised.
