[VIDEO] Donald Trump Raps to Drake in ‘SNL’ Hotline Bling Parody

Date:

Despite critics bashing of Donald Trump’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, what is being the called the best skit on the SNL episode is the Drake parody of “Hotline Bling” music video.

In the sketch, starring Jay Pharoah as Drake, SNL poked fun at Drake’s dance moves from the viral music video released in October. “I’m proud of my dance moves,” he sings in the parody. “Because lots of people dance like this. Bet your father dance like me.”

The music video compares Drake’s dancing to that of a dad, a physics teacher and a drunk sports fan.

Donald Trump pops up and gives a sneak performance as one of the “tax guys” who can dance as well as the rapper in the Hotline Bling music video. He even gives a shout out to Drake by singing one of his lyrics, while he dances with Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam, Bobby Moynihan and Beck Bennett.

Martin Short also give a guest appearance as he plays Ed Grimley, a former character from the Saturday Night Live cast.

But, Donald Trump’s appearance on SNL has been bashed by critics calling it a low point for the NBC comedy series.

Daniel Hollway from TheWrap:

Nobody who watched Trump host the show in 2004, or who knows good comedy, or who has two working eyes and basic motor skills, tuned into this episode because he or she expected it to be good. And it was not.

A sketch sketch featuring Trump as a member of a funk band was bad in the way that only the worst “SNL” sketches can be, the kind that send viewers to the refrigerator or to bed.

We will have to wait and see how this will affect Donald Trump’s run in the the Republican primary.
