Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane poke fun at the Donald in Trumped

Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane are back together again as Bialystock and Bloom in a new musical brought to you by Jimmy Kimmel Live. In Trumped, a pair of political consultants are in need of a big break, and they come up with the perfect plan — find a bad candidate, raise lots of money for him, and then have the public figure out he's the worst so he'll drop out and they can keep all the dough.

After musing aloud that they need a "Grade A, world class, gold-plated nincompoop," it dawns on Bialystock that the perfect candidate has been in front of them all along: Donald Trump. There's just one problem with the plan, a voiceover intones: "They've picked the wrong fool." All the wrongs they've lined up for Trump — questioning John McCain's war heroism, proposing a ban on letting Muslims enter the U.S., announcing that Heidi Klum is "no longer a 10" — are actually being perceived as right, and they have no idea what to do about it (as Variety fake reports, the story "starts out funny" but "gets really, really depressing"). Watch the video below, and get ready to get Trumped. Catherine Garcia
