If were being serious I can Sieber playing Trump. Kinda has a similar enough physical stature that with costume and makeup it could totally work. 

 

If not serious though, Rosie. He'd lost his f'ing mind and I AM HERE FOR IT.

I see Nathan Lane more as Rudy Giuliani.

Nancy Pelosi - Laurie Metcalf. They even sort of look alike.

Sieber was my first thought when I saw the title of this thread. 

Casting is difficult without imagining a creative team or direction because most of these people are painfully uncharismatic. 

Anyway... I'm not thinking about how they would all work together/respective ages, just my first thoughts. 

Jared Kushner: Andrew Rannells or Rob McClure or Bobby Conte Thorton 

Ivanka: Taylor Louderman

Sean Spicer: Norbert Leo Butz or Josh Gad

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Jennifer Simard or Mary Testa

Nancy Pelosi: Andrea Martin or Patti Lupone

Stormy Daniels: Jane Krakowski

Kellyanne Conway: Veanne Cox or Bebe Neuwirth or Christine Ebersole

Betsy DeVos: Joanna Gleason or Beth Leavel

AOC: Ana Villafane

Brett Kavanaugh: Craig Bierko

Mitch McConnell: John Lithgow or Jefferson Mays

I really hope this imaginary show never becomes a reality. 

BUT, if it were to happen, I would want the actor playing Trump to be completely unlike the real-life Trump. And there would be no attempts made to make the actor look, sound, or act like Trump in any way. Just put someone like Michael Cera up there and have him do his usual thing, except he's playing Trump.

I don’t know about that. Kim Jong Un plays Trump pretty much any time he feels like it.
