No one trolls like Donald Trump.
The president-elect has long been a master at roasting his detractors, and in a hilarious new video, he delivered a full plate of Thanksgiving Day mockery for Democrats. The 35-second clip, which was posted on social media Thursday, parodied the famous dinner scene from the “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” film.
“If this turkey tastes half as good as it looks, I think we’re all in for a very big treat,” Chevy Chase’s iconic Clark Griswold character says before carving into the turkey.
But in the parody, through computer-generated magic, it is President Joe Biden about to do the honors.

Instead of Cousin Eddie, played by Randy Quaid in the movie, it is California Rep. Adam Schiff saying, “Save the neck for me, Clark.”
Vice President Kamala Harris is seated as his wife Catherine, originally played by Miriam Flynn, and offers up one of her famous laughs.
First lady Jill Biden is set up as Ellen Griswold, played by Beverly D’Angelo in the 1989 classic. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is also in the parody clip seated next to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
In the original movie, the dried-out turkey collapses as Griswold’s knife pierces it. In the parody shared by Trump, the soon-to-be 47th president pops out of the turkey carcass to dance to the Village People’s “YMCA,” a move that has gone viral.
The video ends after “Squad” members, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), are featured as well.
The clip sparked a wave of reactions on X.
BAHAHA 🤣
