Meryl Streep dons fat suit to play Donald Trump

Actress Meryl Streep went full Donald Trump Monday night, embodying the presumptive GOP presidential nominee at a New York theater gala.

Streep portrayed the billionaire mogul at the annual Shakespeare in the Park Public Theater Gala at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park alongside “The Good Wife” star Christine Baranski, who was doing her best Hillary Clinton impression.

The three-time Oscar winner pulled out all the stops for her Trump impersonation, including a suit that was way too big on her, comically low-hanging red tie, floppy blonde wig, a fat suit and copious amounts of orange face paint.


Baranski and Streep sang a duet of “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” from the Broadway show “Kiss Me, Kate.”


“You’ll let me know why it is all the women say no,” Streep sang while dressed in full Trump garb.

The performance came on the same night Clinton became the first women to secure the number of delegates needed to receive the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party.

And while Clinton hit the magic number of delegates, Trump continued to receive backlash from comments he made about a judge’s ability to fairly oversee the Trump University lawsuit against him because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.
