If Meryl Streep wasn’t already your total idol, she will be now. Last night at the annual Shakespeare in the Park Public Theater Gala in New York City's Central Park, Meryl Streep won the show with her spot-on impression of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, according to Refinery29.
The look, complete with “orangeface,” a long red tie, and lots of shirt stuffing, won over the internet and it’s obvious as to why.

But, it wasn’t just a one-man show. Streep also performed with her Mamma Mia costar Christine Baranski, playing the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The two of them performed a song from the musical Kiss Me Kate. But instead of the original plot, the two took on the roles of male gangsters giving each other advice on how to “woo women.” So funny.
Watch it for yourself in all its glory below.
