Funny or Die skewers Donald Trump with mockumentary starring Johnny Depp

Donald Trump's first place finish among the GOP candidates in the New Hampshire primaries was greeted by a mock online documentary of the brash businessman starring a furiously wigged Johnny Depp.

Funny or Die Presents Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Moviewas released Tuesday on the Funny or Die site with Ron Howard narrating, music by Kenny Loggins and co-starring Jack McBrayer, Patton Oswalt, Stephen Merchant, Alfred Molina, Jacob Tremblay,Henry Winkler and Andy Richter.

The 50-minute film takes its name from Trump's 1987 bestselling advice book and pretends to be a TV special that Trump petulantly tossed away when it got pre-empted by a football game.

Johnny Depp stars as Donald Trump in Funny or Die's spoof biopic The Art of the Deal

Trump portrayed as a buffoon

The film, grainy and faded, portrays Trump as a megalomaniac and a buffoon.

It was written by Joe Randazzo, a former editor of The Onion, while Jeremy Konner, a creator of the Funny or Die-derivedtelevision series Drunk History,directed the spoof.

It was produced and kept a secret by Adam McKay, a co-founder of Funny or Die, which also counts Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow as principal partners.

"Successful people are always on the phone even if there's no one on the other end," the fake Trump lectures a boy in one scene.
