New York – Donald Trump’s first place finish among the GOP candidates in the New Hampshire primaries was greeted by a mock online documentary of the brash businessman starring a furiously wigged Johnny Depp.

“Funny or Die Presents Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie” was released Tuesday on the Funny or Die site with Ron Howard narrating, music by Kenny Loggins and co-starring Jack McBrayer, Patton Oswalt, Stephen Merchant, Alfred Molina, Henry Winkler and Andy Richter.
The 50-minute film takes its name from Trump’s 1987 best-selling advice book and pretends to be a TV special that Trump petulantly tossed away when it got pre-empted by a football game.
The film, grainy and faded, portrays Trump as a megalomaniac and a buffoon. It was written by Joe Randazzo, a former editor of The Onion, while Jeremy Konner, a creator of the television series “Drunk History,” directed the spoof.
It was produced — and kept a secret — by Adam McKay, a co-founder of Funny or Die, which also counts Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow as principal partners.
“Successful people are always on the phone — even if there’s no one on the other end,” the fake Trump lectures a boy in one scene.

I wonder what the reaction would have been to this kind of treatment by major media outlets of Senator Obama in 2008 ??
VIN is now in the business of promoting movies?
If he doesn’t know how to handle a wife and live peacefully with her, how can he handle a country, esp. the US? Because he has money, he’ll want it his way, or else he’ll do exactly what he did to his wife – walk out.
Besides, why would anyone vote for a guy who has no moral or ethical values?
