If you’re still trying to wrap your head around the inexplicable rise of Donald Trump, then Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane might have just given us the most plausible explanation yet.
The actors appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Sunday night in a sketch called “Trumped,” a 2016-themed spoof of their Broadway hit “The Producers.” Instead of theater producers, Lane’s Max Bialystock and Broderick’s Leo Bloom are scheming, cynical political consultants. And rather than trying to to orchestrate a Broadway flop for financial gain, their plot involves backing a sure-to-lose presidential candidate to pocket campaign contributions from little old ladies. .. For their plans to work, the duo need “the worst candidate in history … a real trainwreck. A schmuck, a putz, a grade-A., world-class, gold-plated nincompoop.”
Their chosen candidate is none other than Donald Trump. Â “He won’t last the week!” Lane declares after seeing him on television. They’re soon eating their words. Check out the funny video below.
