Lindsay Lohan as Hope Hicks

Sarah Jessica Parker as Ann Coulter

James Earl Jones as Colin Powell

Rosie O as Bannon, and Trump should definitely be played be a woman. I nominate Meryl.....

Meryl is not overweight or crazy enough to be DJT. Roseanne, on the other hand, could be inspired.

by a woman^^^^

Jennifer Coolidge as Melania

R19, it would be a stretch, but it would curdle him.....

Gary Oldman's fat suit and make-up from Darkest Hour as Trump. Not Gary Oldman himself, just his fat suit and make-up.

Who will play Chris Christie?

I nominate Laura Linney for former Deputy AG Sally Yates

Gwyneth Paltrow for Ivanka.

R34, bull's eye!

Carson Kressley for Miss Lindsey

Fergie, Victoria Beckham, and Christina Aguilera as Pee-Pee Ladies 1-3.

Red November?

We can go with Goodman for Banno, and use Steve Buscemi for Steven 'Gargamel' Miller

John Travolta as Mike Pence

I'll be playing charles Koch

The entire cast of The Sopranos in one giant suit can play Chris Christie.

Voldemort as Trey Gowdy

Rosie O is definitely Sarah Huckabee Hippo.

Steve Buscemi would have to eat a fcuk ton of ring dings before he could play Bannon. How about the guy who played the yellow King on True detective?

Mike Pence: Untoasted white bread sealed in a body condom.

Monique as April Ryan.

Keri Russell as Hope Hicks

Lara Flynn Boyle in a cheap blonde wig as Kellyanne Conway

We have our Omarosa

R46, no, sorry. There's a hint of handsome there.

The Devil With the Yellow Eyes costume from 'Legion' as DJT

Rick Moranis and Chris Penn as Eric and Junior Trump

The Grinch as Turtle.

It should be an all black cast...

Russell Crowe as Steve Bannon, Natalie Portman as Hope Hicks, Barbie as Ivanka Trump

Tom Felton as Stephen Miller.

Iris Apfel as Roger Stone

Nathan Lane as Sean Hannity

Steve Buscemi isn't fat enough for Bannon.

This guy for Paul Ryan

Maggie Smith *is* Bar Bush!

Julia Luis Dreyfuss for Nikki Hayley

Jenny Slate as Ted Cruz

Timothée Chalamet as Lucian Wintrich

Christian Slater and Jessica Chastain as Steve and Louise Mnuchin

John Goodman as Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Tara Reid and Phoebe Price as Olga and Masha, The Pee-Pee Girls

I don't know about the others but Joan Cusack is definitely Rebekah Mercer.

Elizabeth Olsen as Ivanka in flashbacks before her daddy lover made her get plastic surgery.

Roseanne Barr as herself.

Ezra Miller as Rachel Maddow

CZJ as Melania. But I like Kerry or Lindsay better for Ms. Hicks.

CZJ is too young to play Melania.

June Shannon as Sarah Huckabee-Sanders

Lou Reed as Paul Manafort

Victor Garber as Mike Pence

Robin Wright as Jill Stein.

John Goodman or John Lithgow as Trump.

This guy as Robert Mercer

This guy as Ty "Loose Lips" Cobb

you bitches are lazy, Michael Harney from OITNB is almost a dead-ringer for Bannon.

117 wins.

Casting is not just about finding lookalikes.

I think the Game Of Thrones showrunners should just hold over their cast when they wrap their series and use them for the Trump HBO movie. Hell, with a few small substitutions, they can probably use their old scripts, too.

What will they call the movie

Sean Hayes should play Jerad. It will be a stretch as he may have to butch it up a bit. Nathan Gould as Baron Trump. He has the range.p

I'm available for flashback donald

Isn't Sean Hayes, like, 100.? On the W&G reboot, his face has had kabuki make up troweled on in order to (unsuccessfully) make him look younger.

R76, that's uncanny!

"I really Moscow Now"

"Eurolagnia"

"Chump Trump's Strumpets"

The Red Menace

is that already a movie?

"Orange You a Cutie on the QT!"

no no no rosie o'donnell has to be bannon!

The Lending Tree puppet's evil twin as Stephen Miller

R21, I’d rather she play Trump.

I can play Stephen Miller. Please, let me play him. Lorne Michaels never called me back for SNL.

"Casting is not just about finding lookalikes."

No, but if you've watched Harney on OITNB you would know he could handle the role of Bannon easily.

Who will play Diane Feinstein?

How about Sherilyn Fenn for Feinstein?

Crimea River: The Russia Scandal

Michael Shannon as Rebekah Mercer.

John Larroquette as Sheldon Whitehouse

Love Steve Buscemi, but he looks nothing like Bannon, especially not his slim build.

Besides Rosie O, I think Russel Crowe would make a great Bannon.

Here's some for Paul 'Lyin' Ryan: Rowan Atkinsion if he was still young, Matthew Morrison, Zach Woods, Paul Rudd, BJ Novak and Paulo Costanzo.

Basically, any dark haired horse-faced actor with buggy or creepy eyes.

who are we missing?

[quote]Casting is not just about finding lookalikes.

Actually, it should be. Yeah, I've read this bullshit here before, you're not posting anything new. Who are you, casting director, Georgianne Walken?

So many performers hired to play historical figures, or well known people, usually look absolutely nothing like them. Another pet peeve, performers hired to be family members, usually there's not one feature resembling another performer playing their relative.

There have been some brilliant choices, DD Lewis as Lincoln and many others, but as a rule, I find most casting choices for well known figures, have been terrible.

[quote]I'm available for flashback Donald

That blond GOT actor actually looks like a young Paul Ryan!

Woody Allen as Rupert Murdoch and/or Henry Kissinger....hell even Soon Yi (with LOTS of make-up) could play Wendi Deng depending on the tone of the script.

Lindsey Lohan IS Stormy Daniels!

LOL R145. Lindsey would be perfect!

What about that monster, Sarah Huckabee? I can't think of an actress who is as ugly and deformed looking as Sarah.

John travolta as Sarah huckabee sanders.

What about the perpetually scowling Melania, with her now Asian looking eyes?

(r149) Sofia Vergara ?? Melania never speaks and usually wears sunglasses so it might work...
