Without them, Donald Trump would “just be that guy with the weird hair.”
That’s the message from the key women in the Republican candidate’s life in a biting “Saturday Night Live” spoof of Beyonce’s hit song “Sorry.”
“Melanianade” sees Cecily Strong playing the brash businessman’s wife Melania, Emily Blunt and Vanessa Bayer as his daughters Ivanka and Tiffany, Kate McKinnon as campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and Sasheer Zamata as his “one black friend” Omarosa Manigault.
They all invariably criticize him for taking them for granted.
The women smash up a TV on which Alec Baldwin as Trump is appearing, and destroy his portrait. There’s even a small cameo by an actor playing Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R).
“I wrote this all by myself,” says Cecily Strong as Melania at the end of the song ― a clear reference to her plagiarism scandal at the Republican National Convention.
Check the clip out above and see how it compares to Beyonce’s original below:
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
