Satirical Videos 

In spring 2020, she started posting a series of videos of lip-synced statements made by Donald Trump (on the topic of potential cures for the 2019 coronavirus) on TikTok. Subsequently, she started to post more satirical videos on Trump, which went viral and received huge media and public attention. Her videos were reviewed as examples of how comedians can perform political satire without any audience. According to her,

I had taken away the suit and the podium and the people behind him smiling and nodding and calling him “sir,” and all that was left were his empty words, which, in reality, were not the best. It felt like the antidote to the gaslighting. I don’t know if Trump has seen them, but I’m starting to think he might not realize I’m making fun of him. Maybe he’s even flattered by my reenactments of all the preposterous things he gets away with saying on an hourly basis. But I am hoping he won’t get away with them much longer. And if my videos help some people who’ve mentally checked out of politics check back in again, I’m all for it. This is the year. Make sure you vote. Make sure you get involved and don’t remain silent about the issues you care about. As much as I love making these videos, my dream is to fire my head writer and move on to new material.”
