Randy Rainbow Skewers Trump's Administration Picks With Hilarious 'Annie'-Inspired Parody

The comedian shared his first parody music video since Trump's election to mock the president-elect's bizarre and alarming picks for his administration in a new Annie-inspired video called "I Think I'm Gonna Hate It Here."

Political satirist and YouTube star Randy Rainbow is at it again in his first video since President-elect Donald Trump won November's election.

This time, Rainbow—who's made his name off of musical parodies—used the hit Broadway musical Annie to make his point, turning the classic song “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” into “I Think I’m Gonna Hate It Here,” which mocks not only Trump but his array of controversial and unqualified Cabinet picks.


Rainbow sings the following as Annie:

“Lift your chin, don’t give in, to your stress and strife / Dry your tears, it’s just four years / Oh my God, f**k my life."
"Make way for Donald’s new regime, here comes a clown car of a team / That’s built on chaos, crime, incompetence, revenge and fear / I love the USA, I’ll never go away /"
"But girl I’m gonna hate it here!”

Switching seamlessly between the roles of Daddy Warbucks and little orphan Annie, Rainbow frequently chimes in with his own commentary on each figure he references, including Trump:

“Oh boy, a convicted felon? / You gotta be f**king kidding."

Of Lee Zeldin—Trump's nominee for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—Rainbow sings:

"Lee Zeldin will keep your water clear / A climate denier heading the EPA? / Cool!"

Of anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—the potential Health and Human Services (HHS) leader who news outlets recently reported wants to revoke approval of the polio vaccine—he mocks:

"The brain worm anti-vaxxer? / We'll all be dead by March!"

And of former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for national intelligence director, Rainbow sings:

"And what about our national intelligence? / Tulsi will handle Vladimir / Oh good, a Russian asset! / Was Ethel Rosenberg not available?"

Of course that's just scratching the surface and you can see the rest in the video below.

People loved it.

The video differs significantly from a video Rainbow released just before the election that skewers Trump but raises concerns about why the race was polling so closely.

The spoof, titled "MAGADU," in which he channels the late singer and actor Olivia Newton John's role in Xanadu, also targets other key GOP figures, including Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and MAGA celebrities Hulk Hogan and Roseanne Barr.

It includes the following declaration Rainbow makes during a mock interview with Trump:

"I can't sleep nights. I keep imagining the dark, hate-filled, Orwellian, deep-fried, comb-over, fever dream hellscape this country will become if your crazy ass wins!”

It's still funny—but there's no doubt it's going to be a rocky next four years.

GOP Rep. Claims MTG's Resignation Could Be The First Of Many In Eye-Opening Rant

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene—once the conspiracy theory-spewing, QAnon-embracing apple of MAGA's eye—announced on Friday her intent to resign and retire from Congress effective January 5.

In the wake of her almost 10-minute video announcement, an anonymous senior House Republican said many others in the party have also grown sick of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and his incompetent, petty, glory-hogging administration. They cite Christian nationalist Speaker Mike Johnson as his primary enabler.
