Will a major motion picture studio (or network) make a movie about Trump and this election?

Would there be enough interest (or material) to make a post-election movie like the HBO movie ("Game Change&quot that was made about Sarah Palin?

At least "Game Change" was interesting and informative (and I saw it three times)

Julianne Moore was the perfect Sarah Palin in Game Change. Her part really made that a good movie.

and I thought Harrelson's portrayal of Schmidt was brilliant-- and subtle. In fact, nearly all the acting was understated. But with drumpf-- he's so over-the-top-- to do him justice, it would have to be a comedy (or
a satire).

lots and lots of books. If anyone was interested in doing a book on Trump and this debacle..er...election, they've been taking notes since the beginning. Some will be ready to publish on Nov. 9th.....

Trump's lawyers will almost certainly claim that Trump owns entire and exclusive rights to the election of 2016, to be serialized in a 140-hour fictionalized documentary on TrumpTV, starring Jon Voight.

And Baldwin wasn't a joke for me, he'd be great. For a nice HBO Game Change style expose.

In 2 weeks, Marty MacFly and the Professor will get in the DeLorean and poof. Trump will no longer be a menace to society.
