It’s Springtime for Donald Trump in ‘Producers’ Spoof

And nowwwww, it’s springtime for Trump and the GOP. (Oooh, it’s springtime!) Winter for all of America.

In a glorious comeback that made us wish “The Producers” was still on Broadway, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane revived their roles of conniving producers Max Bialystok and Leo Bloom for Jimmy Kimmel’s annual post-Oscars show. Except this time, what the duo want to tank is an election helmed by Donald Trump instead of a show.

Helped by Cloris Leachman who supplies the “checkie,” Bloom and Bialystok are floored when Trump’s candidacy takes off.

Mel Brooks would be proud. Watch the hilarious video here:
