With the first presidential debate set for Monday night, and the election just around the corner on Nov. 8, the incomparable Lin-Manuel Miranda is strongly encouraging folks to get out and vote.

The Pulitzer Prize-wininng, Tony Award-winning actor/singer is featured in a YouTube video titled “Trump the Musical,” comprised of various tweets from The Donald. The tweets are verbatim, sung by Miranda atop a double-decker bus ride through New York City. Miranda made the video to accompany this month’s GQ cover story.
