Trump threatened to shut down filming of "Sharknado 3" because he didnt get cast as the president

Trump threatened to shut down filming of ‘Sharknado 3’ because he didn’t get cast as the president



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/trump-threatened-to-shut-down-filming-of-sharknado-3-because-he-didnt-get-cast-as-the-president-report/

Former “90210” star and “Sharknado 3” leading man Ian Zierling suggested to producers that Trump should play the president based on his experience with Trump as a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice.”

The Hollywood Reporter quoted Latt as saying Trump was “thrilled” about the possibility of playing the president in the movie series, which typically features a number of celebrity appearances and pop-culture in-jokes.

“The Donald said yes,” Latt said. “He was thrilled to be asked.”

Trump was the company’s second choice after talks with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) fell through.

It would be funny if Obama was selected, but most of the rednecks who believe these movies would boycott.

He was offered the roll.
Turned it down.
Then changed his mind and threatened to sue when they offered the roll to Mark Cuban.

We went from "leader of the free world" to "guy who threatened Sharknado because he couldn't play leader of the free world".
