Carrot top flaunts fake Trump during show — ‘Don’t want to get in trouble’

Comedian Carrot Top shared a video of him congratulating a Donald Trump impersonator on the stage of his show on the night of the presidential election.

Hours after polls closed across the U.S. Tuesday night, republican Trump was declared the winner after a heated battle in which the vice president participated Kamala Harris a few months before the day of the presidential election Joe Biden retreated

On Tuesday night, hours before the result was known, Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, appeared at his longtime residence in Las Vegas, providing a politically-themed event as he introduced a Trump impersonator.

Carrot Top shared footage of this moment on their accounts on TikTok, Instagramand X, earlier Twitter. Newsweek reached out to a Trump representative by email for comment.

Carrot Top video subtitles wrote: “Flashback to two short days ago on election night with Trump aka John Di Domenico.”

At the beginning of the clip, Carrot Top can be seen telling the audience gathered at the Atrium Hotel & Casino Luxor exhibition hall: “I don’t want to get in trouble. I’m a comedian – I have to be careful. Trump could have me… I could have finished. He can cancel me at any second.”

Comedian John Di Domenico impersonated Trump wearing a McDonald’s bag. “Look at that crowd,” Trump told Di Domenico of the audience, apparently referring to the president-elect’s comments about the size of the crowd at his rally.

“I love when women stand behind me,” said the impersonator, calling such actions “standing ovulation.”

After declaring that he “just came from Mar-a-Lago,” Di Domenico’s Trump told Carrot Top that he “brought some facts,” he said before drawing the audience’s attention to a mock map of the election results that showed all but one state Republican.

“It’s a MAGA high pressure system,” joked the comedian as Trump.

“CNN everything is different,” Carrot Top playfully countered before showing a mockup of an electoral map that showed all but one of the US states going to democrats.

“What the hell,” the Trump impersonator yelled back. “CNN are horrible people like the Chinese. Terrible people.”

“You’re going to fire me,” Carrot Top said, prompting the impersonator to joke, “Don’t worry, I’ll hire you again.”

Di Domenico’s Trump then urged the audience to visit Trump Tower, where, he said, “the wettest water.”

As the segment drew to a close, Trump Di Domenico introduced his “buddy,” an impersonator dressed as Kim Jong-unwho rose from his seat in the audience and waved to the crowd.

After Di Domenico’s Trump left the stage with a collection of golf clubs, Carrot Top told the audience: “Now I’m going to be undone – b***!”

“I will never be (cancelled),” the comedian continued. “I’m Carrot Top, b*****. I’m not going anywhere… I mean… I can disappear and f***.”

While Carrot Top joked about possibly attacking the president-elect, fellow comedian Kathy Griffin, an outspoken critic of Trump, faced backlash after posing with severed head effigy of the then president in 2017. She said it was her decision to pose with her head hurt her career.

Trump himself was a prominent voice in the backlash against Griffin, writing on X at the time: “Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My kids, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with it. Patient”.

Griffin’s gory photo of Trump, taken by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, caused widespread outrage, leading to Suddenly Susan the star made a public apology.

She later retracted her apology, saying during a speech on ABC‘s View in 2018: “I take back the apology. Fuck him. I am not holding this family back. This family is different. I’ve been through the mill.”

“People thought I was like that ISIS“, – she continued. – When my mother called, she looks Fox News and thinks that it is real, and thinks Bill O’Reilly on vacation—that day, as crazy as it was, I was in a ball, sobbing, it was all over (…) I had to spend two hours convincing my mom that I wasn’t recruited Al-Qaeda.”

“My mom got death threats in her retirement community and my sister got death threats in her hospital bed and I lost her to cancer — that’s why I shaved my head,” Griffin added. “That’s how bad it can be.”
