FUNNY OR DIE MADE A DONALD TRUMP BIOPIC, STARRING JOHNNY DEPP via Brooks Barnes of the New York Times – The humor website … began streaming a 50-minute comedy that finds Depp portraying the businessman turned politician, full-blown comb-over and all. Kept a secret for months — no small task in Hollywood — “Funny or Die Presents Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie†was released to coincide with Trump’s victory in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. “It was a crazy, completely nuts idea that somehow we pulled off,†said Adam McKay, a co-founder of Funny or Die … added that the site’s newest skewering of Mr. Trump will “with any luck†annoy the presidential hopeful. “The Art of the Deal,†which takes its title from Mr. Trump’s 1987 best-selling business advice book, may establish a new Hollywood genre: the fake television movie of the week. As a narrator (the director Ron Howard, playing himself) tells viewers at its start, the movie was made in the 1980s and had Trump as its writer-producer-director-star. But a football game went into overtime, and so an angry Trump ordered the prime-time special pulled and forever tucked away in a vault.

I can’t wait for Apprentice, The Movie
All about candidates tasked with winning votes from every state by any means, ultimate goal is to be elected as the American Apprentice, or as it used to be called before squatters took over President of the United States.
With a goldmine of material like Trump, I can’t figure out how they managed to produce something so lame.
Also, Depp’s Trump impression is terrible.
I guess Funny Or Die just went with the “insert Trump name, receive clicks” formula here for the ad revenue.
So this was done in the 80s or now? SNL is funnier.

Jimmy Fallon is the best. I mean the one of him doing Trump and Carson is priceless.
Michaela Watkins as his first wife, Ivana, was really funny. She did a great job!
Die.
Watched some of this yesterday. I don’t support Trump, but I thought this movie stunk. Some of the ‘80s pop culture references were slightly amusing (e.g., ALF’s cameo as Donald’s best friend), but otherwise it was very boring and flat. I completely lost interest midway.
This website’s a POS. It’s unrelenting leftist politics disguised as comedy. Then again, that’s what all comedy is.
“With a goldmine of material like Trump, I can’t figure out how they managed to produce something so lame.”
Agreed. It was mildly amusing at first, but got snide and annoying before long.
STARRING JOHNNY DEPP
