In the trailer for _Trumped_, Lane and Broderick play Bialystock and Bloom, two political candidates who decide to pull one over on America by fundraising for a bad presidential candidate and then keeping all the money for themselves once he ruins his own campaign. “This candidate, he’s gotta be the worst candidate in history,” Bialystok says. “A real trainwreck, a schmuck, a putz, a grade-A world-class gold-plated nincompoop. Where would we ever find a buffoon like that?” **Read More:** [John Oliver Takes On Donald Trump On _Last Week Tonight_](http://time.com/4240734/john-oliver-donald-trump-last-week-tonight/?xid=time%5Fsocialflow%5Ffacebook) Suddenly, a commercial for Trump plays on TV, and the pair knows they’ve found the right man for the job. However, their plan starts to go awry when Trump’s approval ratings keep rising regardless of how hard they try to sabotage him. “Where did we go right?,” a flabbergasted Bialystock asks. “Did he question John McCain’s war heroism? Did he say we should forcibly kick out 11 million immigrants? Did he propose banning all 1 billion Muslims from entering the U.S.?…Did he say Heidi Klum was no longer a 10?” “Just in time for the election, it’s a story that starts off funny and then gets really, really depressing,” a voiceover says.
