Look out, haters and losers!

Still taken from the video

Donald Trump’s tweeting has been a source of endless fascination this election cycle, but believe it or not, it has also gotten him into hot water once or twice. (Just kidding! This has happened lots of times!) Still, if anyone could humanize Trump’s cartoonish internet persona, it might just be Lin-Manuel Miranda, who knows a thing or two about making audiences care about a divisive American politician: In a new video from GQ, Miranda sings the tweets of Donald Trump, exactly as the Republican nominee wrote them.

So should we expect to see the real Trump: The Musical anytime soon? Probably not, since Miranda is a little busy at the moment, what with filming the Mary Poppins sequel and composing music for Moana. But at least we’ll always have Miranda screeching, “I love Hispanics” to the sky for years to come.
