Twitter User Inserts Donald Trump's Speakerphone Fail With the President of Mexico Into the Closing Credits of 'Veep', and It's Perfect

Twitter User Inserts Donald Trump's Speakerphone Fail With the President of Mexico Into the Closing Credits of 'Veep', and It's Perfect

It works almost too well.

During a Monday afternoon Oval Office press event to announce a new trade deal with Mexico, Donald Trump had some major difficulties getting Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on his speakerphone.


Trump and Nieto have reportedly agreed to changes to NAFTA, which Trump has derided as being disadvantageous to the United States.

According to CNN, the biggest items agreed upon by the United States and Mexico are as follows:

  • "Auto manufacturing: The new deal would require that 75% of the parts in any car sold in North America be produced in the United States or Mexico. Currently, about 62% of parts are required to be produced in the United States, Mexico or Canada.
  • Higher labor standards: The new deal would require that 40% to 45% of auto parts in cars sold be made by workers earning at least $16 USD per hour.
  • Sunset clause: The agreement will last for 16 years, and will be reviewed every six years."

Trump added that the NAFTA monicker will be dropped from the newly negotiated trade deal.

But the details of the deal were overshadowed by the speakerphone fail, which is now going viral for an entirely different reason: a Twitter hero has set it to the closing credits theme song of HBO's Veep.

And it works well...almost too well:

Twitter thinks we're living in an episode of Veep.

Is the season over yet?

What is Trump even doing?

Nice reference.

Parsa also synced the Trump footage with the music from Curb Your Enthusiasm, and it too is scary perfect.

It's almost better tbh.

WWLDS?

What a time to be alive.

People Share Their Most Embarrassing Small Town Stories

I lived most of my life in a very small town in Northern Maine. There were about 200 kids in my high school and there were 56 kids in my graduating class—we were tied with the class of 1961 for the largest class ever.

When the primary employer in town—Pinkham Lumber Mill—shut down, the town got even smaller. Now the senior class is considered large if it reaches double digits.
