The Daily Show turns Donald Trump's bragging and misogyny into a rap song

Donald Trump is known for saying a lot of bizarre, offensive things on the campaign trail. But The Daily Show finally figured out a good use for those lines: a rap video.

"Everything Trump says is straight out of a rapper's playbook," correspondent Roy Wood Jr. said on Thursday. "He brags about his money. He's disrespectful to women. And there's always fights at his concerts."

Host Trevor Noah questioned the idea at first, arguing Trump "is just saying stuff." But Wood countered, "The same way rappers just say stuff. Do you really think Jay Z has 99 problems? He's a billionaire. At the most he's got 12 problems."

To prove the concept, Wood put together an actual rap video of Trump's lines. It works … surprisingly well. Here's one section, keeping in mind these are actual Trump quotes:

I'm so good looking.

I'm really rich.

Part of the beauty in me is that I am very rich.

Don't respect women … They know it's the opposite.

Arianna Huffington is unattractive.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
