PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — The next time Donald J. Trump calls someone a dummy, he just may be politically correct, thanks to a Pittsburgh Metro native.
Meet Donald J. Tramp, a ventriloquist’s dummy that bears a striking resemblance to the GOP front-runner – complete with orange quiff, squinty eyes and of course an outrageous mouth.
The ventriloquist is April Brucker, who grew up in Bethel Park and is now a New York actress, author and comedienne. Her video interview “Introducing Donald J. Tramp” has attracted YouTube viewers worldwide and generated online attention from The Huffington Post to The Icelandic Monitor.
The “Introducing Donald J. Tramp” video is available on YouTube (https://youtu.be/fVg4ufbYnrU), plus on the comedienne’s website www.AprilBrucker.TV.
Mr. Trump has been criticized for tweeting “dummy” to disparage Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin, Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus and even war hero Sen. John McCain. According to Rolling Stone magazine, dummy ranks as #4 of “Trump’s Meanest Twitter Insults.”
“Now, we have a presidential candidate that makes professional ventriloquists’ dummies look like amateurs,” notes Ms. Brucker.
According to Ms. Brucker, it has been easy for her to write jokes for her Donald dummy.
“I just listen to the real Donald’s rhetoric; then the jokes almost write themselves,” says Ms. Brucker.
Among Mr. Tramp’s notable quips:
- “Tramp University has a Triple K Rating: K-K-K
- “I am a liberal conservative – liberal with your money and conservative with mine.
- “I’m going to make America white… great again. White, great… what’s the difference?
- “Little Rubio makes my blood boil and stuffing come out of my — you know what.
- “My hands are proportional to my body. But rest assured, my rod is just the right size.”
Ms. Brucker says she will continue throughout the presidential campaign season to release additional Donald J. Tramp videos.
A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Ms. Brucker’s television credits include Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, Layover with Anthony Bourdain, My Strange Addiction and The Today Show, plus appearances on BBC, Telemundo, MTV Europe and Dutch National Television.
