Donald Trump: Zach Galifianakis explains why he won't have 'mentally challenged' candidate on Between Two Ferns

'I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him'

Prior to the first televised Presidential debate, Hilary Clinton appeared on Funny or Die’s Between Two Ferns mock chat show with Zach Galifianakis, showing off her sometimes overlooked sense of humour.

However, despite Donald Trump being perhaps easier to lampoon, the show’s host really doesn’t want the Republican candidate anywhere near his ferns.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Galifianakis said: “Doing it the other way doesn’t interest me. He’s the kind of guy who likes attention – bad attention or good attention. So you’re dealing with a psychosis there that’s a little weird.

“I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him. And you can print that.”

Previously, the writer and director of Between Two Ferns, Scott Aukerman, said he “can’t imagine a situation in which [Donald Tump appearing on the show] would ever even occur. I just can’t see him subjecting himself to that.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton sparred in the first of this year’s presidential debates, an event so huge Will & Grace returned after 10 years to slam Donald Trump in a new episode.
