Everyone in Trump’s administration (including his kids) to be played by slime molds. ---

I had no idea James Comey was a super tall dude until this week. He’s 6’8". I checked out a [list of tall actors](https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000352291/) and filtered out for age (or uh death) and race, and landed on [John Corbett](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0179173/?ref_=nmls_hd) (6’4"). ---

Did you see the movie _Dinner Rush_? Corbett was great in that. ---

**Divine** would’ve been interesting as Trump. ---

I think Kevin Smith as silent Bob should play Trump. Maybe have Jay as Sessions. It could be a nice dramady like Chasing Amy. ---

And we need to add a new member to the cast! Who will play Rudolph Giulani? Someone who looks the part, and can hit the right note of pitiable buffoonery with a hint of ineffectual evil. It must be J.K. Simmons. ---

The perfect casting choice for Steve Bannon would be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael\_Harney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Harney). You might not know him by name; he played Counselor Healy on Orange is the New Black. Does a great soft-spoken evil, but more importantly they look enough alike to be twins. If one twin was a raging alcoholic.
