Will.i.am. releases anti-Donald Trump anthem 'GRAB’m by the P*SSY'

'Ah, shut up girl/ it ain't about you, girl/ it's all about me, girl'

Will.i.am. declared his support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the only way he knows how: by dropping a super-hot dance track.

Titled 'GRAB'm by the P*$$Y', the track is a clear skewer of Donald Trump's campaign-sinking, highly offensive comments against women caught on a leaked audio and video tape; in which he stated, "when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."

Posted by Funny or Die, the video sees the Black Eyed Peas member undergo his Trump-transformation, donning the wig and trademark squint to take on the Republican candidate's history of sexism, racism, and homophobia; laying lines like, "if we have problems with Russia, I'll bomb them", while a ticker tape beneath runs through some of his most offensive and dubious policies and actions.

Meanwhile, Liane V steps into the game as Madame Boss, who hits back at Trump with; "I’m a woman and I’m strong/ And don’t you forget it/ Because I am intelligent/ I’m somebody’s daughter/ I’m somebody’s boss/ I could be the next president/ So give me the respect now." That is, at least when will.i.am.'s Trump actually lets her speak; interrupting her with, "Ah, shut up girl/ it ain't about you, girl/ it's all about me, girl".

Fellow Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.ap also joins in as this musical debate's moderator; posing tough questions about the US economy and Syrian crisis, which Trump unsurprisingly utterly fails to answer.

The video ends with a more heartfelt moment from will.i.am., in which he offers his endorsement to Clinton by stating, "This is not a circus, a TV show, or a movie. This is real life, with a real life problems. We need a leader that not only will lead America, but will help heal the world given its complexity and problems."
