Political satirist and lover of show tunes Randy Rainbow is back with an opus that skewers Donald Trump's recent assertions that he's the "chosen one" to a medley of songs from Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar.

Rainbow kicks it off with a faux interview of Trump.

"I am joined now by the diving Miss T, our lord and savior, king of the Jews," Rainbow says. "Donald Trump, you have had a busy few days -- G7 meetings, ongoing trade wars with China, bedbugs."

"You also sent out a controversial tweet saying that you are the king of Israel and told a group of reporters that you are the chosen one."

Then Rainbow kicks off his medley to the tune of "King Herod's Song."

"Mr. Not-My-President, you're acting quite bizarre. Acting like a loon behind your Twitter avatar," Rainbow sings. "Of all your recent antics, this latest one's a pearl. Now it seems you think you're God. OK -- whatever, gurl."

"You say you're the chosen one and I know what you mean -- chosen by the Kremlin in 2016," he continues. "When will this maniacal Messiah complex pass? I hereby order you to get your head out of your ass. Just keep selling us lies and attacking allies. Go on, you king of fake news."
