In a video shared on GQ the Magazine, Lin-Manuel Miranda sings actual Donald Trump tweets on the top of a New York City sightseeing bus! The lyrics include "Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!"
The Tony Award winner is featured on the cover of GQ's October issue, in which he speaks about leaving the hit hip-hop musical HAMILTON and looking ahead to his upcoming exciting projects. "There are people who have a hit that connects with great success, and then they chase that success for the rest of their lives, and that's their doom," explains Miranda in the feature article. "You think of artists who had that big thing, and then they go back to that well again and again with diminishing returns, but the world has moved on. And then there are the artists who really stay true to themselves. Doing what inspires them."
