Meryl Streep dazzled as Donald Trump for the annual Shakespeare in the Park Public Theater Gala in New York on Monday.
The three-time Oscar winner absolutely nailed Trump’s signature look, wearing a padded suit, red tie, and the patented Umpa Lumpa orange makeup.
Why’d she do it you may ask?
Streep and actress Christine Baranski, who was playing Hillary Clinton, teamed up for a duet of “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” from the Broadway musical Kiss Me, Kate at New York’s Delacorte Theater.
In the musical, the song is performed by gangsters who advise men that the way to woo women is by reciting Shakespeare.
“You’ll let me know, why all the women say no,” Streep sang, altering the lyrics for her take on Trump.

Needless to say, Meryl nailed it as always…she’s no stranger to politicians either, garnering an Oscar nod for her portrayal of the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher…no word if she’ll reprise her efforts on stage to take on the role of Trump for a film…
