Meryl Streep drags up as Donald Trump for amazing impersonation

By Samuel McManus

Meryl Streep has given yet another real-life person performance and, following her performances as Margaret Thatcher and Emmeline Pankhurst, this time she’s gotten into male drag to portray Donald Trump.

Meryl took to the stage at the Public Theater’s 2016 Gala finale to give the performance of the presumed Republican presidential candidate by performing a twist on Cole Porter’s ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’ with host Christine Baranski – and apparently she loved it.

Donning orange face paint and a fat suit, Meryl sang the line: “You’ll let me know, why all the women say no.”

Anyone got another Oscar back there?
