Brendan Gleeson's transformation into the 45th president of the United States can finally be watched.

On Wednesday, Showtime dropped the first trailer for The Comey Rule, a limited miniseries starring Gleeson as Donald Trump and Jeff Daniels as former FBI director James Comey.

While the 30-second teaser only features glimpses of Gleason's Trump, Daniels' Comey and the president sit down for dinner in the trailer when Gleason tells him, "I need loyalty."

The teaser ends with Gleason whispering in Daniels' ear in a raspy voice as Trump, "Really looking forward to working with you. Let's take a picture."

Based on Comey's memoir A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, The Comey Rule centers around the struggle for power between Trump and Comey in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election.

The two-part, four-hour limited series is slated to air ahead of the November 2020 presidential election on consecutive nights: Sept. 27 and Sept. 28 at 9 p.m. ET.

According to Showtime, the first part of the series will examine the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails and their impact on the 2016 election. The latter will focus on the relationship between Trump and Comey during the first months of Trump's presidency.

In addition to Comey's book, the miniseries also takes source material from more than a year of additional interviews with a number of key principals.

Pre-election anti-Trump propaganda.

So where is the Constitution does it say that the President works for the Director of the FBI?

Dear Hollywood,

You no doubt like to think you are the good guys, despite the casting couch culture, but way beyond the evil shallowness, you sided with Xi’s regime, which makes you basically Nazi enablers and sympathizers. There is forced labor and forced organ donation in Xi’s China. There is surveillance well beyond the dizziest daydreams of authoritarians throughout history. You are not the good guys.
