I think he could, and it would be wonderful if he did. Yes, indeed.
He could step back to his early films for inspiration. Trump would fit right in...

I'm thinking though, that Waters could do something with the working title, "Trump's Island," in the vein of "Pink Flamingos" or "Mondo Trasho."
So many possibilities for that movie style...

(150,863 posts)4. I think that only John Waters could bring enough sleaze
into a film about Trump. He is the king of sleaze movies, and Trump's the King of Sleaze. The Sleazebag in Chief. The Sleazemaster. And so on...

(129,715 posts)6. Good point. I was approaching the idea
from the weirdness angle - Trump is almost indescribably weird - and either Lynch or Fellini could offer a whole lot of that. Combine sleazy with weird and you get an old-time carnival side show with freaks and mutants. Cue Stephen Miller.
