After a vital back-and-forth on the social media the other day, I got to thinking.

What if Christopher Walken did an impersonation of President Donald J. Trump?

Specifically, what if Christopher Walken read the following outtake from a cabinet meeting Trump held, according to The Guardian, that apparently devolved from discussions on tariffs, Gaza, Iran, Ukraine, the flooding in Texas, into matters of interior decorations.

Try it yourself at home. Read the passage below in your best Christopher Walken voice. Better yet, if you know anybody who does a good Christopher Walken impression, buy them a drink and get them to read it. But beware. Good Christopher Walke impressions are few and far between. Many try. Most fail.

Here we put out – you know these, these lamps have been very important actually, whether people love them or not but they’re if you see pictures like Pearl Harbor or Tora! Tora! Tora!, you see movies about the White House where wars are being discussed, oftentimes they’ll show those lamps or something like those lamps, something that looks like them. Probably not the reals, because I don’t think they’re allowed to – this is a very important room, this is a sacred room, and I don’t think they made movies from here.

You never know what they do. But they were missing, er, medallions. See the medallions on top? They had a chain going into the ceiling. And I said: ‘You can’t do that. You have to have a medallion.’ They said, ‘What’s a medallion?’ I said: ‘I’ll show you.’ And then we got some beautiful medallions, and you see them, they were put up there, makes the lamps look [inaudible] so we did these changes.

And when you think of it, the cost was almost nothing. We also painted the room a nice color, beige color, and it’s been really something. The only question is, will I gold-leaf the corners? You could maybe tell me. My cabinet could take a vote. You see the top-line moldings, and the only question is do you go and leaf it? Because you can’t paint it, if you paint it it won’t look good because they’ve never found a paint that looks like gold. You see that in the Oval Office.

Er, they’ve tried for years and years. Somebody could become very wealthy, but they’ve never found a paint that looks like gold. So painting is easy but it won’t look right.”
