Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard mock Donald Trump in new video
Cara Delevingne, Amber Heard, and Shailene Woodley are among the stars of a new comedy video mocking U.S. President Donald Trump.
The trio join a selection of other big acting names in The Alternative Constitution skit, produced for U.S. satire website Funny or Die.
In the video Cara, Amber, and Shailene join other stars including
Susan Sarandon, Lizzy Caplan, Chloe Bennet, Constance Wu, Matt
McGorry and Jamie Chung, in saying Donald Trump believes he does
not have to abide by the U.S. Constitution like previous
presidents.
Instead the stars explain Trump's controversial actions, like last
week's (end29Jan17) executive order banning people from seven
predominantly Muslim states from entering the U.S., as being due to
him following different rules laid down in an alternative
document.
Outlining the difference, Amber says, "Here for example is the
normal Constitution, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion', however Trump's alt-Constitution goes
on to say, 'but if a handsome, brave, scared president makes an
executive order that favors one religion over another he shall only
experience pure ecstasy."
Cara explains, "He's working from the wrong Constitution and he
doesn't even know it."
The skit's title and theme is a reference to a statement by Trump
adviser Kellyanne Conway that the President's spokesman Sean Spicer
was offering "alternative facts" when he made questionable claims
in a press briefing.
Stars in the video also joke that Trump has been looking at the
wrong Statue of Liberty, and that instead of seeing the famous
pro-immigration quote on the real monument, which reads, "Give me
your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe
free," he sees one which goes on to say that they should be "locked
in tiny rooms" and sent "back where they came from."
Trump's issuing of the executive order last Friday (27Jan17),
sparked protests around the globe, with stars including Miley
Cyrus, Rihanna, and John Legend all condemning the president on
social media.
