Max Bialystock in the Oval Office

An unprincipled, selfish charlatan bilks gullible people out of their money for years to support his failing enterprise. One day a clever accountant, noticing the fraud in his financial documents, remarks that  no one pays particular attention to financial failures, only to the successful ones. The grifter immediately sees an opportunity to score the mother of all scams by making sure his con is doomed to fail.

Enter one Donald J. Trump - a greedy, pompous charlatan with a penchant for unscrupulous and ultimately unsuccessful financial ventures, who has a serious cash flow problem. He learns that if he collects millions of dollars for a Presidential bid and loses, he can still keep the money and then fade back into relative obscurity.

His scheme backfired: the sure-fire failure succeeded, despite breaking every accepted rule of civilized political behavior. Now the spotlight shines brightly on him and his enablers and it remains to be seen if he will suffer the same fate as Bialystock and Bloom.
