The New York Times reports that the three-time Oscar winner took to the stage on Monday in New York as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee during a gala benefit for the Public Theatre.
A Times reporter has posted video of the performance on Twitter showing Streep impersonating Trump while performing a duet alongside actress Christine Baranskiâs pantsuit-clad Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The pair sang Brush Up Your Shakespeare from Cole Porterâs musical Kiss Me, Kate.
Public Theatre artistic director Oskar Eustis tells the newspaper that the performance was Streepâs idea and âshe was absolutely sure she could do itâ.
Streep is a supporter of Clinton.
