The title of the video says it all: Darth Trump. After the American millionaire made the shocking demand to debar Muslims from entering the United States of America, the opprobrium has been piling up faster than you can say “bouffant.” In this Auralnuts satire, Trump’s soliloquies have been dubbed over Vader’s actual lines from the movies. The video twins the ongoing dismay over Trump with anticipation for the new Star Wars movie, which opens across the USA on December 18 and in India on December 25. Look out for the sting in the tail: Donald Trump reincarnated as a Jedi knight.
