Melanianade

In the video,  Melanianade, made by Saturday Night Live (SNL) Melania Trump (Cecily Strong), Ivanka Trump (Emily Blunt), Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), Omarosa (Sasheer Zamata) and Tiffany Trump (Vanessa Bayer) can no longer stand by Donald Trump's (Alec Baldwin) side. They all express their problems and what they're going to do. When Donald Trump comes in at the end and says, "The limo is ready. Let's go, you all look very nice, but let's go." All the women do not put up a fight and quickly follow him.
The women in the video employ understated satire as they say one thing about their feelings but their actions show the opposite of that. As well as using, parody as they use similar rhythms, scenes, and choreography to Beyoncé's music video, Lemonade. In the satire video Melania says that she cannot take standing by Donald Trump anymore and that she doesn't like being undermined or played as dumb. Kellyanne is tired of cleaning up Trump's messes, like his twitter posts or speeches, as she holds up a news paper that reads "GRAB THEM BY THE P***Y" which his face as the background. Ivanka is upset that Trump brought in Paula Jones, who's case participated in Bill Clinton's impeachment, which ruined her personal relationship with Chelsea Clinton. Tiffany is tired of being in the shadows of Ivanka and not being able to be enough for him even when she thinks she "killed" her speech. Instead of being known as Tiffany Trump she wants to be known as Tiff Maples, taking her biological mother's last name rather than Trump. Omarosa says that she is going to turn in her resignation and that she does not need a last name for him to know. The women all say that Trump is breaking them and taking it for granted that they have always been there. Melania says she will one day soon not be there anymore. The five women say that without them, Donald Trump would not be where he is today and that he would "just be that guy with the weird hair." Melanianade is not just for humor but it criticizes the women standing behind Donald Trump for staying with him. As well as criticizing Donald Trump's actions.
