The fake commercial features Trump at the height of his fame asThe Apprenticehost wearing a bright yellow suit hawking “Donald Trump’s House of Wings.”
Despite having aired as a part of the April 2004 episode that Trump hosted, the sketch was not inSNLDVDs that include the episode, according topreviousInside Editionand CNN reports. At the time, the clip was also missing from the episode on Hulu, according toInsideEdition.
“Trump is still just as tacky as he was in this video, but now his brand is America, and instead of chicken wings he sells laser-guided missiles to Saudi Arabia,” one Twitter userwrotethis week.
But conservative pundit Allie Beth Stuckey was in support,writing, “This is amazing and somehow makes me like him more.”
Other users expressed similarly strong feelings:“the greatest thing ever,”“both horrifying and amazing”and“I’m dying.”
“You know our wings will make you happy. Trump in! You know our wings will fill you up. Trump,” they sing.
In between song verses, Trump says: “Am I saying I’m a chicken-wing expert? No, but I can tell you this: The wing is hands down the best part of the chicken, better than the head, better than the torso, better than the back. And at Donald Trump’s House of Wings, you can get them with five different levels of hotness,”
(“And if you like celery,” he adds, “congratulations: It’s on the house.”)
