Who is going to play Trump in the movie about this election?

I love the made for TV movie Game Change about Palin in the 2008 election. If you haven't seen it, find it and watch. I watch it every year or so. It's mostly about Steve Schmidt brilliantly played by Woody Harroldson and his interaction with Palin.

Can't wait for a similar movie about this election, especially Trump's melt down.

So who will play Trump?

As for The Candidate, I'd vote for De Niro (watch "King of Comedy" again, Trump of Today is basically working Pupkin's schtick)
