Meryl Streep can now add another impersonation to her repertoire: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Wearing “orangeface,” a fat suit and with her hair combed over in trademark Trump style, Streep walked onstage with Christine Baranski (who was dressed as Hillary Clinton) at New York City’s annual Shakespeare in the Park Public Theater Gala event at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
Streep and Baranski performed their own rendition of Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Cole Porter Broadway hit Kiss Me, Kate.
The song, usually sung by male gangsters in the classic musical, advises men on how to seduce women by reciting Shakespeare.
“You’ll let me know why it is all the women say no,” Streep sang.

“Brush up your Shakespeare and the women you will wow,” Baranski responded. “Just declaim a few lines from Othello, and they’ll think you’re a hell of a fella.”
While the two stars were performing, the real-life Clinton became the first-ever woman to clinch the presidential nomination of a national political party in the U.S.
