WASHINGTON, DC: The 'Late Show' dropped a spoof video on Tuesday, June 18, to mock Donald Trump for wrongly identifying his former White House doctor, according to HuffPost.

Notably, many of the former president's linguistic errors were brought to light in the spoof, which was set to the upbeat song 'That's Not My Name' by The Ting Tings.

The 'Late Show' drops spoof video to mock Donald Trump

The joke initially parodied Donald Trump for referring to Dr Ronny Jackson, his former White House physician, as 'Ronny Johnson' on Saturday, June 15.

The lyrics read, 'That’s not his name. That’s not his name. That’s a bad brain." Subsequently, the parody alters Trump's claims — which are echoed by some conservatives — that President Joe Biden is not mentally as strong as him.



 

The song continues, "He says that Joe’s flawed, then made this faux pas. It’s not the first time he’s botched a name."

This leads to the chorus of "that's not his name" and "that's not a word" when Trump stumbles over names and phrases like Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama, and others.

Notably, for the former president's detractors, it's a win-win situation as Trump is made fun of, and a memorable moment in pop culture is extended.

A person also stated, "Of course, the Ting Tings singer's hair was much more naturally colored than Donnies", while another added, "The lyrics saying “these are not words” and “that’s not his name” had me cracking up."

A user mentioned, "Brilliant and catchy music Parody. Had to watch it three times in a row and couldn’t stop laughing. Thanks go to Stephen Colbert and his writing staff", whereas another stated, "Dude what a throwback and a well written parody."

A person wrote, "My man ACED a psychological evaluation, but cant remember his own Docs name. Let that sink in", while one commented, "Well, of course he got mixed up. He doesn't care about his Jackson, he only cares about his Johnson."
