BREAKING 2017: Tony Clifton Fires Back at Drumpf for Stealing His Act
Back when this Donald Drumpf fiasco was still a little scrap funny (I think nosotros all agree it's no longer funny in the slightest), many one-act fans accused Orange Julius Caesar of ripping off insult comedian and lounge vocalizer, Tony Clifton. In guild to win the election, Donald appropriated Clifton'south singled-out make of sexism, his cartoonish racism, the ill-plumbing equipment suits and magic realist hair, and the misplaced swag of the icky old white homo who somehow believes women desire to fuck them.
As Drumpf grew unfunny, I as a comedy fan grew nigh offended by Drumpf's blatant rip-off of Clifton — right down to the facial expressions, namely that dewy, pinkish pout, the bottom lip protruding like the globe's virtually punchable cocktail wiener.
In 2014, I spent a very fun weekend in New Orleans with Tony Clifton. I've yet never met Bob Zmuda face-to-face. They are though, the same person. Tony Clifton shouts "nigger" whenever, and spends half of every year as a sexual activity tourist in Thailand (when he'south not at home in Nevada in a firm conveniently located near the famed Bunny Ranch brothel). The incomparably liberal Zmuda, on the other paw founded, and to this day spearheads, the famous Comic Relief organization that has raised millions for various important charities, mostly homelessness. "I don't agree with people proverb the N discussion onstage," Zmuda once told me on the telephone, in a voice so similar to Clifton's. After spending just that one weekend with Clifton, I came abroad seeing the whole gag as less of an human activity, and more as Zmuda's dark pathology.
But anyway, Drumpf. I'd first met Clifton when he rolled into New Orleans performing a big show, the money from which would go to benefit Hurricane Katrina survivors. Tony claimed he ended up on this charity bout as part of a plea bargain in a New Orleans rape case. Supposedly, he'd come back to his hotel one dark wasted, and accidentally entered the wrong room, where he crawled in bed with a strange adult female who "got the incorrect idea," freaked out, and pressed charges. "That broad was old as dirt," Tony had told me in his own defence force. "I do non under whatsoever circumstance fuck anything over half my age."
Drumpf used this exact same logic to shoot downwardly his ain sexual assault allegations! "Take a look. You lot take a look. Await at her," Drumpf had said in his defence. "Tell me what yous think. I don't recollect so."
I grew then outraged at Drumpf's cribbing that, e'er since Tony Clifton'southward doppelganger became the most powerful man in the globe, I have attempted to reconnect with Clifton and go his thoughts. Tony though has been in Thailand fucking prostitutes these concluding several months, so only recently got around to answering my questions regarding Drumpf'southward blatant identity theft:
MPW: Take you ever met Donald Drumpf? How did that interaction play out?
Tony Clifton: I did. I was participating in a fundraiser and Marla Maples was on the organizing committee. One day, we met for dejeuner and she had me meet her at Drumpf Tower. She asked if I wanted to come across "The Donald" and so I did. He gave me the onetime "once over," surmised me as a threat and unwelcomely shook my manus. On the mode out of building, Marla apologized for his behavior, six months later on they divorced.
What did yous retrieve when you constitute out Drumpf was running for President?
Like everyone else, I thought he didn't accept a prayer. We were all proven wrong. It just goes to bear witness you, that our entire lives (certainly our political sphere) can plough on a dime. The poet William Blake Yeats said, "Turning and turning in the widening gyre, The Falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot concur; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world…" Tony Clifton is loosed upon the earth… (I added that last office).
When he started his run, did people brainstorm mentioning to you how much Drumpf seemed to be "stealing your shtick" (not simply his political incorrectness, but his facial expressions even…)
Aye… I started to get calls from everyone who was familiar with my works, the similarities were unmistakable. It was equally if he was channeling me. Of grade they were picking up on the "political incorrectness" angle and Tony Clifton is all for that. The Jetting out of the lower lip is of class my signature facial expression…I lifted it from Mussolini.
Some people considered Drumpf'due south campaign then absurd that they evoked the name Andy Kaufman — wishful thinking that this was all some absurdist routine. Did anyone speak to you about this? Is Drumpf in whatsoever way like Kaufman?
Yeah, I read a lot about Drumpf really being Andy Kaufman underneath it all. I never got the connexion and was actually offended by information technology. If anything they're polar opposites. ME — Aye! Kaufman — NO!!! Drumpf's all me — Where Dark lilliputian Andy'southward a wimp, a square. He'd never reach out and grab a Broad's pussy without request. Me and Donald would … and take… and volition go along to do it.
On which of Drumpf's platforms (immigration/healthcare/gutting the Federal gov/tax breaks for the rich) exercise you hold, or disagree?
I don't give a shit virtually whatever of it 1 way or the other. I live half of my year in Southeast Asia. I'm more up on the politics in Thailand and the Philippines than here. Anyone who stays in this country (US) all twelvemonth is a LOSER in my book.
Did you vote for Donald Drumpf? Why or why not?
I can't vote, I'm a fictional character. What take you been drinking?
When Drumpf was accused of rape during his campaign, his "defense" was that he "could not have raped that woman because she was clearly as well unattractive for him." Does this defence sound familiar to you lot (New Orleans?)?
I believe him. With his staff of life, it's Summit of the Line Booty. Look at our First Lady! Now that'south a high-end Hooker if I ever saw one and I mean that as a compliment. He didn't touch that old ugly Broad. That is Hillary'southward blazon instead.
Since you and Drumpf share a similar trunk type, do you lot have whatever manner tips for Drumpf — he dresses so poorly, with the ill-fitting suits?
I've establish that the filthy rich don't intendance how they expect, they don't accept to impress anyone then why clothes up? Dressing upward is for poor people or performers such as myself who mean it more as a costume. When I'grand home, I'm in my underwear, skid marks and all.
Have you any other advice for Donald Drumpf either every bit a politician or as someone who insults people professionally?
Proceed hurling the insults, the media eats it up, they all dear to hear it. It keeps information technology Real!!! It's that shit that got him elected. People were sick and tired of the elegant Obama-speak. Teleprompters are for scoundrels or for those who cannot call up their own bullshit.
