This pandemic has been a rough road for all of us. It has caused unwanted stress and extreme sadness for some since we need to isolate ourselves from each other in order to be protected from COVID19. I have observed that social media sites, particularly Youtube, has been a panacea to cure one’s loneliness. As the American elections has been concluded a few weeks ago, Trump has been the center of the headlines among newspapers due to the fact that he does want to remain in power despite the opposite results. Interestingly, while I am browsing the Youtube site, I found a video about Trump’s cover of Havana that vanquished my stress. I salute and honor the maker of this video for his patience and most especially for taking the risk of ridiculing the 45th U.S President.

With over 125 million views, the parody video of Trump’s cover of Havana has been circulating online even though it was uploaded 4 years ago. The man behind the video is Chaouch Zakaria A.K.A Maestro Ziikos, a Moroccan international, who is a music artist and has a great skill in editing videos. His Youtube channel has an array of stop motion and parody videos from Obama to Trump covers. He concludes that his motivation is to make everyone sing anything. I found the video humorous at the same time hilarious. Great patience is required to cut and paste clips for hours while staring upon the face of Trump. I also found that the comments of the netizens are hilarious. “Corona, na na na…”, for me, has been the greatest comment so far. Aside from Trump’s cover of Havana, the channel also includes Obama and Trump’s duet of the legendary song, “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. This is my second favorite considering that Melania Trump and Obama are included as sub-vocalists. There are a lot of videos from this Maestro Ziikos channel that you might want to explore to spend time with this lingering pandemic. All you just need to have is an open mind plus a little bit of humor not unless you are already pushing daisies along the dark hallway.

Trump is known for criticizing and blaming China for COVID19 as he called it a “China Virus”, which caught the attention of media for his attitude being racist. Despite all of the issues out there, I think that Trump should go out, relax, and have fun watching these funny videos of him nowadays while preparing for his electoral protests in the Supreme Court.
