Short Takes : Trump in Video Role for Charity
Donald Trump plays a featured role in the new video for all-female hard rock band Precious Metal, portraying the title character for the song “Mr. Big Stuff,” Chameleon Records announced Monday.
Trump has agreed to donate to charity the $25,000 performance fee paid to him by the record company, plus $50,000 if the record goes gold and an additional $150,000 if it goes platinum.
Although it is the second rock video appearance for the famed financier, it marks his first feature role. He had a walk-through in a Bobby Brown video.
Precious Metal vocalist Leslie Knauer said The Donald was “a real gentleman to work with, very patient . . . and he takes great direction.”
“Mr. Big Stuff” is a remake of the 1971 Jean Knight classic.
