Watch Barbra Streisand’s hilarious duet with ‘Donald Trump’
Iconic Jewish singer didn’t perform with the real Donald — she sang with Jimmy Fallon, who pulls off a mean Trump impersonation.
Barbra Streisand isn’t a fan of Donald Trump — so why did she sing a duet with him?
Ok, the iconic 74-year-old Jewish singer didn’t perform with the real Donald — she actually sang with Jimmy Fallon, who pulls off a mean Trump impersonation, on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night.
“It’s sort of nice to see you in person,” Streisand said.
“Together we’re going to make duets great again!” Fallon’s Trump declares.
The pair went on to sing a comedic rendition of “Anything You Can Do” that skewered many of Trump’s statements from the campaign trail, including his intention of building a wall along the Mexican border.
Streisand is in the middle of a tour in support of her 35th album, “Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway.” She mocked Trump repeatedly during the tour’s first concert. She is also an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter.
The stage and screen legend was also in the news recently for a completely separate reason: Siri, the iPhone robot who can interact with users, had been pronouncing her name wrong (it was saying “StreiZAND” instead of “StreiSAND,” with a soft “s”). Streisand called Apple CEO Tim Cook, who agreed to fix the glitch.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access

Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
