Donald Trump has been stirring up controversy ever since his announcement on his questionable plans for the presidential bid. The presidential hopeful raised a lot of eyebrows when he said that he would win the Latino vote and insisting that the Latino community 'loved' him despite making those racist comments.

In response to Trump's comments regarding the Latino community, nonprofit organization Voto Latino Action Network (VL Action Network) partnered with New-York based sketch-comedy group, Room 28 Sketch Comedy Troupe on the production of a music video parody, "I Won't Vote For You." The parody takes a stab at Trump and his views on the Hispanic Community.

Billboard reports that while many artists and organizations have expressed their outcry over Trump's anti-Latino propaganda, the music video parody uses one weapon that cannot be outdone: the power of comedic sketches. The hip-hop style political roast samples rapper Big Sean's "I Don't F--- With You."

The music video parody opens with Donald Trump (played by Jacob Berger) making his way from his building while passing by Latino workers all giving him the disapproving side eye. An audio of Trump's controversial speech making racist remarks calling Mexican immigrants giving nothing but trouble to the country as most have become drug dealers and rapists can be heard in the background.

When Trump gets into his chauffeured vehicle, he is met by his Dominican driver, Elmo DiFoca (Jerry Diaz). The music parody then kicks off when Trump drifts into slumber. The song has a catchy hook. PopCults reports that Diaz's character is fueled with disgust over the presidential candidate and schools the audience with a hard-hitting battle cry peppered with political satire, comedic jabs, as well as a desire for equality. The music parody sends a message to Trump of the important contributions of immigrants everywhere and that his arrogant battle for 'building a wall the size of the Mexican border' is relatively pointless. The music video parody says that Trump won't win the presidential elections without the much coveted Latino vote.

"There's millions of Latino voices, Trump you're through! Cause we ain't voting for you!" Elmo DiFoca exclaims in the parody.

Room 28 is a New-York based sketch comedy group whose entertaining and original productions have garnered millions of views on YouTube. These socially-aware groups of talented funny men and women dedicate their hilarious sketches to worthy social causes such as safe sex and domestic violence awareness.
