Presidential hopeful Donald Trump is a highly quotable man. The problem is, the things he says are bizarre at best and possibly threatening at worst. In short, they would be a lot easier to take if they were said by a cartoonish blowhard. Luckily, Billy West—who plays a cartoonish blowhard on TV—has taken up the challenge of presenting Trump’s words in a much more comical tone. After some polite coercion online, the voice actor, who portrays Zapp Brannigan on Futurama, started recording the Republican nominee’s quotes in Zapp’s boisterous style. There are only a few so far, but considering how much West is enjoying the response he’s getting, it seems likely he’ll continue. Check out the highlights here and follow the #MakeAmericaBrannigan hashtag for more.
