Made for mocking: is Donald Trump the ultimate Parody President?
Maybe, in fact, never.
Back on 17 July, 2015, the online news website, Huffington Post announced that Trump will not be covered in the politics section. Instead, from then onwards, they started covering him in the entertainment section. "Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait." Little did they know how far he would go in the race. But even so, his success hasn't made him any less ridiculous.Along the course of his campaign, Trump has gone from being a character to a caricature. The boisterous billionaire has been spoofed again and again to the delight of everyone but his rabid supporters.A parody song on the hit late night comedy show The Daily Show used actual quotes from the man. The tune They Love Me is performed by Black Trump, a parody of Trump played by correspondent Roy Wood, Jr. The song showed Trump's quotes make more sense coming out of a rapper's mouth rather than an actual presidential candidate.Then, Funny or Die got Johnny Depp to play a surprisingly good version of Mr Trump in this parody video that was spot on.
Jimmy Fallon has also spoofed the man we all love to hate with "'I Love the K.K.K. -- Kim, Khloe, Kourtney'" - Fallon took his Super Tuesday speech and turned it into gold.
In December, 2015, Jon Stewart crashed a Stephen Colbert monologue and they Trumped it up:
No more evidence is needed to establish one thing: Trump is truly the comedic gift that keeps on giving. But while TV can't escape the man, cinema seems to have had a Trump-free run on the whole.
Till now.
The Poke decided to right this wrong by asking its followers to photoshop Trump into movie posters. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
On homosexuality:
"It's like in golf. A lot of people -- I don't want this to sound trivial -- but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It's weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can't sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist."
On 9/11:
"I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-Eleven, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down"
The morning after a three-hour debate on CNN, lengthiest presidential debate in the history of television:
"Three hours is too much for a debate. How long is Gone with the Wind? 3 hours 20?"
On his 'struggle':
"It has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars."
On the animal that lives on his head:
"I do not wear a rug. My hair is 100 percent mine. No animals have been harmed in the creation of my hairstyle."
A headline from The Telegraph:
"America deserves a better superhero than Donald Trump"
Trump on his 'stunning' good looks:
'Do I look like a president? How handsome am I, right? How handsome?'
There's an actual petition to "send Donald Trump into space and leave him there".
