…if he can avoid going the way of Huey Long. This is a temptation to power, which each of us must face. Trump already has the advantage, over Obillary, that he doesn't need public money to enrich himself.

Two movies about Huey Long, starred Jimmy Cagney ("A Lion in the Streets") and Broderick Crawford ("All the King's Men").

Interestingly, Broderick and Jimmy were also in a movie together ("The Time of Your Life"), in which the protagonist is a wealthy guy who is big on the common touch.

Brian Dennehy. A little old, but a strong presence just the same.

Mouton

The Kingfish. One of my favorite characters from history.

Trump could be played by a younger Jack Nickelson or today perhaps Gary Oldman.


babble-on

Good pick, with his lies about his military service, Dennehy is the perfect choice for a tough talking demagogue with no substance underlying his noxious rhetoric.


Iron Munro

No idea for Trump.

Whoopi is a shoo-in for Mocchie Obama.
She is darn near as feminine.

But which effeminate, black homo twinky will get the role of playing Barack Obama?



IncPen

Alec Baldwin.


mrsmith

Right amount of spunk and humor.


Coffee... Black... No Sugar

All day long I can’t stand him, but (sigh)... Woody Harrelson.


cincinnati65

Chuck Norris would play Donald Trump, but he’s afraid of what Trump would think of his performance......


Also, Lou Ferrigno (Incredible Hulk) and Henry Winkler (The Fonze)


~Peter

Gary Busey


Forward the Light Brigade

Jack Black would make a good Trump.


Cyman

Flava flav



Rip Taylor

Rip Taylor?...............


JEDI4S

I was going to say Woody Woodpecker but I don't think he has the right shade of color for Don-Dons’ hair.



peyton randolph

James Woods


Charles Henrickson

Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes in “A Face in the Crowd”: A pop-culture celebrity who gets a little intoxicated by fame and power.



Charlemagne on the Fox

The late George Peppard would have been perfect . . .


TomServo

Who will play President Trump?

President Trump


jmaroneps37

Tom Selleck; a bit taller and not strawberry blond but he plays tough and forceful characters well.


Albion Wilde

But which effeminate, black homo twinky will get the role of playing Barack Obama?

Ru Paul.
