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.

Phooey.
No.
If I had I would have seen this:
“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.”
Did you read the article?
The guy in 39 didn’t either. Or he wouldn’t have celebrated it as “Trumpsters”.
And bumbling Obama and his gorilla are not grist for the comic mill?
yeah, Mel.
Wonder if Melvin James Kaminksy (Mel Brooks) will let his muslim neighbors know what his real name is? Doubt it.
Also I would venture a guess that Mr. Brooks loyalty lies with whomever will keep Wallstreet kicking ass. I hate to say its all about the money, but its all about the MONEY.

” all of his stuff was just crude and stupid.”
But that’s what was funny about it. Of course, I’m a musician, and we’re noted for having somewhat twisted senses of humor. I’ve told awful jokes to people who just didn’t get it! It was the fact that some people thought those jokes were funny was what was actually funny.
“Sid Caesar.”
Sid used to buy a lot of pot from a friend of mine in Milwaukee!
Every time the try to do comedy it ends up being a documentary.
Go Trump!
I know
A dope slap from Mel Brooks. Right back at him.
Calling Trump an idiot.
