He Uses Broadway Show Tunes to Make a Mockery of Donald Trump, and It’s Beautiful and Viral
The irresistible derision of Randy Rainbow.

January/February 2018 Issue


Donald Trump may be a disaster for America, but he’s a click machine for singer-satirist Randy Rainbow, a 36-year-old New Yorker who has soared to social-media fame with a series of hilarious musical videos that roast the president and his minions. “Every time something happens with this fakakta administration, there’s more material,” says Rainbow—his real name, a fact almost too good to be true given that his eyebrow-arching cabaret shtick is, like him, refreshingly gay. “Braggadocious,” a 2016 video that has Rainbow moderating the first Trump-Clinton debate, racked up nearly 32 million views on Facebook. “Desperate Cheeto,” set to the 2017 megahit “Despacito,” clocked more than 12 million. Rainbow borrowed from The Sound of Music (and donned a nun’s habit) for “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?” And he was inspired by Hamilton—and Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer—to sing about the Russians in “The Room Where It Happened.” Rainbow still works alone in his tiny flat in Astoria, Queens, but his growing acclaim has led to a flurry of live performances and fresh opportunities, including potential TV projects. “Hopefully I work well with others,” he jokes.
