THROWBACK: That Time Donald Trump (And I) Started A Dance Craze
It was about this time last year, Donald Trump ran out of words to describe how big money influences Hillary Clinton's policies so he turned to some jibberish to describe the way said big money sprinkles money into her accounts.
The words bing-bing, bong, bong, bong -- the type of nonsense that would have derailed hundreds of other presidential campaigns -- quickly became the thing of legend... for about a week. By then, Trump had said some other B.S. that made the collective world forget any of this ever happened.
But for that week, it was glorious. My good friend Jim Manning turned Trump's jibberish into remix gold. Although the remix always felt like it was missing something. Sure, Trump was stringing together some sounds to try and make what he thought was a cohesive argument, but this political moment and remix required more.
It required someone to help bring into context the hilarity of the movements utilized by one Mr. Donald Trump. And that person was me.
I threw this video together in about an hour and a half on my iPhone. The video, by all accounts, did well on both our Early Late Night Facebook page, and on YouTube. However, when I recently went back to look through some of my old clips, I was surprised to see the number of people who've watched the video had doubled in the time since I had last checked it.
Given the fact that this overgrown Oompa Loompa made it to the finals for president -- and the fact that he made waves this weekend for starting a new "dance" craze...
I thought it was the right time to bring back the one that quasi-captured a nation's heart just one year ago.
I hope you enjoy. And, more importantly, I hope this helps you kill it on the dancefloor.
