Donald Trump’s tweets being read by the Joker is pretty sinister

Two maniacal characters with terrible hair and big mouths

Donald Trump’s tweets being read by the Joker is pretty sinister
10 January 2017

We could smack our heads against our desks every time the President-elect tweets, or we could laugh in the face of fear with a little help from Mark Hamill.

Inspired by writer and actor Matt Oswall’s tweet regarding Trump’s weird New Year tweet, Hamill reprised his role as the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series to dub over the last 140 Trump characters of 2016.

The Star Warsactor admitted that “nobody writes better super-villain dialogue than #Trumputin”.

Hamill then uploaded his first dub as #TheTrumpster:

It’s not the first time someone has had the idea – Billy West who voiced Zapp Brannigan inFuturamahas been dubbing Trump’s Twitter activity under #MakeAmericaBrannigan for a couple of months. His voice-overs are equal in hilarity and despair that Trump’s words fit perfectly as an idiotic character from a TV show (which he was).  

Here’s hoping for more momentary distractions from the next four years.
