Donald Trump Dances and Raps Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ on ‘SNL’

Donald Trump shows off his “tax guy” moves in this sketch from his stint as host of Saturday Night Live on Saturday (November 7) in New York City.

This cool cat and his owner captured themselves bopping their heads along to the rapper’s chart topper Hotline Bling and the video has gone viral.

Drake’s dance moves in latest smash single “Hotline Bling” have been memed, parodied, pastiched and had Mr Bean edited into them, but the demented jig his does throughout is so ridiculous and off-the-cuff he could never recreate it in real life. The 69-year-old danced like Drake, and even uttered the song’s money line: “You used to call me on the cell phone”.

Catch the clip in all its cringeworthy glory below, alongside Trump’s equally cringeworthy SNL monologue.

Playing Drake, Pharoah introduced Martin Short’s character.

Donald Trump also appears and dances like him. The event was, by most accounts, quite lackluster, possibly due to Trump’s insistence on rejecting any skits deemed too risque, though there were a few bright spots.

Numerous versions of the “Hotline Bling” video have emerged after Drake released the video earlier this summer.

Viewers quickly took to social media to share their views on Trump’s off-key singing and “dad dancing”.

At the beginning of the show, Trump said, “A lot of people are saying”.

Protesters demonstrated outside of the SNL studios over Donald Trump serving as host.

Let’s just say that Trump showing up in the middle of this spoof secured the GIF-able moment his campaign was likely looking for.
