Barbra Streisand mocks Donald Trump with parody version of 'Send In The Clowns'

'If he were running the free world, where would we move? Name me a town? Just who is this clown?' the musician sung to a crowd of 1,000

Barbra Streisand has mocked Donald Trump with a reworked version of the classic song ‘Send In The Clowns’.

Appearing at an LBGT fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in New York on Friday, the 74-year-old ten-time Grammy-award winning singer changed the lyrics of the Stephen Sondheim tune to poke fun at the Republican presidential candidate’s refusal to release his tax returns so far.

“Is he that rich, maybe he's poor, 'til he reveals his returns, who can be sure?” Streisand sang to a crowd of around 1,000.

“Something's amiss, I don't approve, if he were running the free world, where would we move? Name me a town? Just who is this clown?”

“And if by chance he gets to heaven, even up there, he'll declare chapter 11. This sad, vulgar clown. You're fired, you clown,” she added.

The crowd errupted into laughter throughout Streisand's performance.

The event was organised to raise money for the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between Clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and state parties.

Streisand is a long-time gay rights campaigner and is a firm Clinton supporter.
