What if you were to turn Donald Trump’s tweets into a song?

If the planet is lucky, we’re halfway through the Trump presidency. (If we’re super-lucky, we passed the halfway mark more than a year ago. But never mind.)

For the moment, let’s keep to the standard election cycle schedule. Jimmy Kimmel would like to note Trump halftime in a special way.

“On our very special ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live Intermission Accomplished: A Halftime Tribute to Trump,’ we celebrate Donald Trump’s many deeds over the past two years, including his power of speech. Donald Trump has delivered so many poignant words, the best words. Since he took office Donald Trump has tweeted more than every other President in history combined and tonight we remember his most memorable lines.”

How was this accomplished? Grammy nominee Leon Bridges set Trump’s tweets to music.
