Mash-up masters Cassetteboy have picked the one of the most crucial dates in the US election to release their latest video starring Donald Trump.
Using clips from The Apprentice, it pokes fun at his attitudes towards race, sex and sexuality - with a few digs at Piers Morgan for good measure.
Choice mash-up quotes include the moment a candidate on The Apprentice says: "He’s obviously an ego-maniac, a complete control freak… I think he’s disrespectful."
Clever editing makes Trump appear to say, at various moments:
"Psychologically I just happen to love white skin."
"I love President Donald Trump but a lot of people don’t like me because I’m prejudiced and an unbelievable racist."
"Trump’s totally crazy."
"Donald Trump can have any woman in the world."
"People are cheap."
"I am going to be dressed up as a caveman."
The video also features the bizarre moment Trump said in an interview that if his daughter, Ivanka, wasn’t his daughter, “perhaps I’d be dating her”. This part was not edited and did actually happen.
It was released as the residents of 12 US states – Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia – along with American Samoa and Democratic voters living abroad, cast their vote in the primary election - known as Super Tuesday.
If the latest polls are to be believed, current Republican frontrunner Trump could be in a prime position to take the party’s nomination for president. The same poll, conducted by CNN and OCR, suggested Hillary Clinton was leading rival Bernie Sanders by 55 to 38 points.
