Parody: Funny Or Die’s Take On “Donald Trump’s THE ART OF THE DEAL: The Movie”
Funny Or Die has produced a full-on parody movie of Donald Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal starring Johnny Depp as the Trumpster.
Via press release:
In 1988 Donald Trump wrote, directed, and starred in a made-for-TV movie based on his bestselling book ‘The Art of the Deal.’ When the film was bumped because Monday Night Football ran long, the furious Trump pulled the movie, obscuring it from the general public for decades. Now Funny Or Die has unearthed this delightfully dated masterpiece for the world to see.
The movie stars Johnny Depp as Donald Trump, Patton Oswalt as Merv Griffin, Henry Winkler as Mayor Ed Koch, Michaela Watkins as Ivana Trump, and also features Alfred Molina, Andy Richter, Jack McBrayer, Robert Morse, Jacob Tremblay, Ron Funches, Stephen Merchant, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Jason Mantzoukas, Kristen Schaal, and ALF. Kenny Loggins, ’80s soundtrack virtuoso, performs the film’s original theme song. The movie was directed by Jeremy Konner (Drunk History) and written by Joe Randazzo (The Onion, @midnight), with an intro from Ron Howard.
Check out the trailer below, and watch the full flick here.
Donald Trump As “The GOPfather – The Candidate Nobody Can Refuse”
The Democratic Rapid Response team was ready for Donald Trump’s big night last night in New Hampshire with this clip which depicts Donald Trump as THE GODFATHER’s “Vito Corleone” – “the candidate nobody can refuse” who will “do anything to win” and to whom “all must pay their respects.”
New Hampshire Primary Results
Good night for Sen. Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary, while Donald Trump crushed over on the Republican side.
Biggest loser of the night has to go to Sen. Marco Rubio who came out of Iowa caucuses with a strong 3rd place showing. But his admittedly weak debate performance on Saturday (just days before the primary in NH) affected his supporters. Rubio eked out a 5th place finish last night.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will announce this afternoon that he’s leaving the race.
New York Daily News Calls Trump Win In New Hampshire “Dawn Of The Brain Dead”
From the New York Daily News:
Clueless New Hampshire voters handed billionaire bore Donald Trump a “yuge” victory in the first-in-the nation primary Tuesday, providing the mad mogul with a new round of ammo a week after a disappointing second-place finish in Iowa.
More than three in 10 Granite State voters flocked to the foul-mouthed contender, throwing their support to him at levels beyond what the polls had predicted — a day after he referred to a Republican challenger Ted Cruz as a “pussy.”
Coming in second place in the primary was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who was declared the official silver-medalist with about 16% of the vote.
Trailing Kasich was a pack of establishment candidates including Texas Sen. Cruz, with 11.6%, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, with 11% and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 10.5%.
Chris Christie, who had campaigned heavily in New Hampshire, got only 7.5% support, returns showed, prompting the outspoken governor to say that he would “go home to New Jersey” on Wednesday to “take a deep breath,” leading many to believe he was on the verge of dropping out of the race.

Marco Rubio T2000 Short Circuits Again – Repeats Same Campaign Line
The Marco Rubio T2000’s robot programming hit another glitch last night as he repeated the same line about “ramming down our throats” twice.
You can see he pauses at the:26 mark, not sure if he’s said the line already or not.
“We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21st century because, as you saw, Jeanette and I are raising our four children in the 21st century, and we know how hard it’s become to instill our values in our kids instead of the values they try to ram down our throats.”
“In the 21st century, it’s become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in our homes and in our church instead of the values that they try to ram down our throats in movies, in music, in popular culture.”
The Rubio T2000 has come under fire since the last GOP debate this past Saturday when he kept repeating the same memorized talking point “President Obama knows exactly what he’s doing…” over and over to much ridicule.
New Hampshire Voter Asks Rubio: “Why Do You Want To Put Me Back In The Closet?”
During a New Hampshire campaign stop at the Puritan Backroom Diner last night, Senator Marco Rubio didn’t get the reception he was hoping for when a middle-aged gay man asked, “Why do you want to put me back in the closet?”
Rubio’s answer was not convincing: “I don’t, you can live any way you want.”
From the New York Times:
The voter, who identified himself as Timothy Kierstead, was seated at a table with his mother and his husband when Mr. Rubio walked up behind him, according to pool reports of the encounter. During a brief conversation, Mr. Kierstead, 50, told Mr. Rubio that he was married but complained that the senator’s position amounted to him declaring that “we don’t matter.”
Mr. Rubio, who was standing with his youngest son, Dominick, 8, by his side, gently disagreed. “No, I just believe marriage is between one man and one woman.”
“Well,” replied Mr. Kierstead, “that’s your belief.”
Mr. Rubio continued: “I think that’s what the law should be. And if you don’t agree you should have the law changed by a legislature.”
Mr. Kierstead said the law had already been changed, referring either to a Supreme Court ruling that has legalized same-sex marriage across the country or to state legislation in New Hampshire that did the same.
Mr. Rubio decided to conclude their conversation. “I respect your view,” he said, patting Mr. Kierstead on the shoulder and starting to walk away.
Mr. Kierstead was unsatisfied. “Typical politician,” he said loudly. “Walk away.”
New Hampshire was actually the first state to freely legislate marriage equality.
Fox News Accidentally Calls New Hampshire For Donald Trump
Fox News accidentally jumped the gun with a ready-made graphic showing Donald Trump winning the New Hampshire primary – at noon with the polls still open. Click the image above to enlarge.
It seems Fox was looking to predict a Trump win with 28%, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio at 12% and Sen. Ted Cruz at 11%.
Fox News issued this “oopsie” after the graphic was taken down:
“During routine testing in preparation for the New Hampshire primary a malfunction occurred which briefly showed errant data on our website,” Fox News Chief Digital Officer Jeff Misenti said in a statement. “This error has been rectified. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.”
