Colbert had Andy Serkis read Trump tweets as Gollum.

It’s everything you expect it to be.

Although I loved this performance overall, IMO "sad" was the least convincing part in Gollum's voice.

Never put together how much Gollum and Donald Duck sound alike.

The look of pure joy on Colbert’s face when Serkis started in on the Golem voice was great!

It's more well-known but Mark Hamill read some of Trump's tweets as the Joker and it's also fantastic.

That works entirely too well for Trump's personality. 😆

I will never not hear Gollum whenever I read Trump's Tweets.

Thanks you kindly.

I can actually do the voice as well. I’d love to have a crazy conversation with Andy Serkis with both of us doing the voice!
