Randy Rainbow, Madonna Expose Trump's 'Border Lies'

Scroll To Top

Leave it to Randy Rainbow to take a gay icon's early '80s hit as inspiration for his newest political satire.

Rainbow's newest video, "Border Lies," is set to Madonna's 1983 hit, "Borderline," off her first album. Set at Trump's rambling Friday press conference where he announced he was declaring a national emergency to raid federal funds for a wall on the U.S./Mexico border, "Border Lies" brings levity to a very serious situation.

"Some say that you're full of shit and others, well, agree. That you're just fomenting fear and hate with your hyperbole," Rainbow says as clips play of Trump ranting about drugs and gangs. "Gurl, you're at an impasse. Now they're gonna sue your ass. But you just keep pushing these border lies. Freaking us out while you dramatize."

Stick around for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Mike Pence joke.
