The [_Hamilton_](http://time.com/4300102/lin-manuel-miranda-time-100-video/) creator proved that he could make a musical out of even the most unorthodox materials when he crafted a musical for [_GQ_](http://www.gq.com/story/lin-manuel-miranda-trump-tweets), completely comprised entirely of [tweets by Donald Trump](http://time.com/4493710/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-questions-twitter/). While holding court on the top floor of a New York City sightseeing tour bus, Miranda sang tweets that the presidential candidate had written. A choice example? “”Happy Thanksgiving to all–even the haters and losers” and other holiday greetings, which Miranda miraculously made sound like full-fledged songs for what the magazine titled, _Trump the Musical_. You can watch Miranda sing his heart out below.
