Meryl Streep donned orange face and a fat suit for the role of a lifetime

Meryl Streep donned orange face and a fat suit for the role of a lifetime — portraying braggart campaigner Donald Trump.



The award-winning actress, 66, bellowed an inspired twist on Cole Porter’s “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” as the presumed Republican presidential nominee during the Public Theater’s 2016 Gala finale.

She fashioned her hair after Trump and let her bold red tie hang low while joining Tony-winner Christine Baranski on stage at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park for a duet from the musical “Kiss Me Kate.”

“You’ll let me know, why all the women say no,” Streep sang during the annual event paying tribute to playwright William Shakespeare.

1. I had honestly never noticed the length of Trump's ties

Does he use it to dab the drops or something? Gross.

[pinboy3niner]

4. They have to be long to hide his shortcomings

[louis-t]

21. Hee hee...

[PatSeg]

26. Best explanation so far

Or his ties are pointing to his perceived manhood?

[MADem]

33. That gif...it is...SUPERB!!!! nt

[demigoddess]

46. I've noticed his sons wear them too long also.

Looks like they have to copy their dad or pay the price.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

49. +1000 nt

[Il_Coniglietto]

51. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. I had never paid any attention to it either, but I googled "Donald Trump necktie" and his ties

do hang over his waistband by a considerable amount in most pictures.

Here's how they should be.

[louis-t]

22. Compensating....

giggety.

[PatSeg]

25. Thanks

I thought maybe I was overreacting or perhaps fashions had changed. His ties look weird.

[PatSeg]

23. I've noticed it for a long time

and it drives me nuts! Perhaps you are right.............

[Jester Messiah]

31. It's something men do if they have some gut.

As a former fat guy I can attest that this is the case.

[bigwillq]

2. Bwah

[GeorgeGist]

3. Her hands are too big

[virtualobserver]

6. you should tweet that to Trump with a photo

[virgogal]

5. Maybe it's me but I don't consider Trump fat.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. He's flabby and bloated-looking.

Maybe not quite fat, but definitely not fit.

[maxsolomon]

28. You're kidding yourself, then

He wears expensive suits which can hide a multitude of sins - notice that you rarely see him without a jacket on. But he's overweight by a good 30-40 lbs.

[MADem]

35. A good suit can easily make 30 or 40 spare pounds

just about disappear! Fat and flab magically look like muscle!

[Drunken Irishman]

52. Likewise, a bad suit can make a fat person look extremely bulky.

[PearliePoo2]

29. I read somewhere that he's about 40 lbs. overweight.

Looking at him from a side view when he's sitting, yeah, I can see that.

[pinboy3niner]

32. You're obviously wrong. Everybody knows it's all in his head.

[annabanana]

38. I'm sure he doesn't think so either

[Ligyron]

41. when you see him in person

he's square shaped, like Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Really square!

[tblue37]

47. True. He is "thick" and out of shape in the way many people best with age, not fat. nt

[sheshe2]

7. LOL~

[RockaFowler]

8. She can play any character

This proves it!

[joeybee12]

9. In 3, 2, 1...the donald tweets that Meryl is a "loser"

He really needs a thesaurus

[niyad]

12. that would imply that der drumpfenfuhrer needs to learn anything--he is perfect, don't you know?

[Moostache]

19. Thesaurus is useless when you "have all the best words"...(n/t)

[d_legendary1]

10. Which one is Meryl Streep?

They're both appalling. And good job on her for getting it right!

[virtualobserver]

13. Meryl is the one who appears authentic.

[d_legendary1]

16. Thanks for the non-clue

Maybe I should look for the one with the longest tie....or maybe the small hands? Damn this is tough!

[niyad]

11. Meryl is truly amazing-- wish I could have seen that!!

[SunSeeker]

15. LOL

[Jack Rabbit]

17. Her hands are too big . . .

[Duppers]

37. haha!

Lol-ing here.

[spooky3]

18. hilarious!!!

[LynneSin]

20. That's a bit racist....

against ORANGE PEOPLE WITH SMALL HANDS



Meryl!

[DesertRat]

24. k&r!

[flamingdem]

30. Yes!!

Go Meryl

[Rex]

34. Which one is Trump?

[saidsimplesimon]

36. Recommended, thank you kpete

Meryl Streep is the best, most diverse, multi-talented actor in Hollywood, imo. Of course, I'm a Shakespeare fan as well.

My favourite British actor would be Dame Helen Mirren. Dame Mirren was interviewed in the past few months by Stephen Colbert. She kissed him on the lips and was quite giddy.

[Aristus]

44. I was giddy, too, after I saw that.

Helen Mirren!...


That was one of the most erotic things I've ever seen on TV; a simple kiss.

Colbert later told her he must be the most envied man in America. I can attest that I envied the hell out of him at that moment.

[burrowowl]

39. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beacool]

40. Oh man, I wish I had been there.

Pity the clip is so short, I would have liked to have seen the whole thing.

Kudos to Meryl and Christine too.

[ailsagirl]

42. OMG that's priceless!! nt

[bucolic_frolic]

43. OMG a crossdresser

this ought to go over REALLY well in Tin Foil Land

[eppur_se_muova]

45. Oh ... I thought it would be Garfield ... nt

[Aviation Pro]

48. Meryl Streep is a national treasure....

....bulbous fuckstick is a national disgrace.

[stlsaxman]

50. Funny that Trump isn't wearing a "patriotic" lapel pin... nt

[JI7]

53. yeah, but can she do the asshole pout he always has on his face
