      Donald Trump becomes a clown named Ronald Klump.

      Is this real life? No—it’s just a (terrifyingly accurate?) portrayal of the U.S. President in a new Snoop Dogg remix video.

      The rapper joins in on a Nightfall Remix of BADBADNOTGOOD and Kaytranada's “Lavender”, and the accompanying video features a world full of clowns.

      Ronald Klump shows up as clown-in-chief in the video at the 1:55 mark, announcing that he wants to deport all “doggs”—an allusion to the controversial travel ban put in place by Donald Trump.

      In an interview with Billboard, Snoop explains that he completely agrees with the music video director’s concept because of the ensuing political and social upheavals in society.

      "The whole world is clownin’ around, and [Jesse’s] concept is so right on point with the art direction and the reality, because if you really look at some of these motherfuckers, they are clowns,” he told Billboard.

      Snoop also directly addresses the issues that he had on his mind when he was writing the song.

      "The ban that this motherfucker tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill motherfuckers and get away with it; people being in jail for weed for 20, 30 years and motherfuckers that’s not black on the streets making money off of it—but if you got color or ethnicity connected to your name, you’ve been wrongfully accused or locked up for it, and then you watching people not of color position themselves to get millions and billions off of it,” he explained to Billboard.

      “It’s a lot of clown shit going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about, but it’s a few issues that we really wanted to lock into [for the video] like police, the president and just life in general." 

      Snoop is scheduled to perform at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on April 14.
