TROLLING TRUMP
back to how it all began - Back
to Love.
“This was the premise in
which a group of Caribbean
migrants (Lionel Rufus Gorin,
Camilla Gorin Frank, Carlos
Lezama, Allister Yarde, Mildred
Scott, Polly Phillips, Caldera
Caraballo, Lester Isaacs and
others) came together to form
WIADCA - an anchor institution
that produces North
America’s largest Caribbean
cultural festival, along with
several year-round impactful
community programs (Youth-
Fest formerly ‘Stay in School’
originally conceptualized by
Marta Vega Founder of Caribbean
Cultural Center African
Diaspora Institute and Junior
Carnival Parade created by
longtime WIADCA member,
Joyce Quamina),” WIADCA
said.
“We will not give in to
COVID-19,” said WIADCA
Trinidadian Board Chair and
longtime member, Angela
Sealy. “We will celebrate our
collective heritage, our joy and
creative expressions in every
way we can, safely.
Michelle Gibbs-Francis,
WIADCA board member and
marketing chair, said “the spirit
of love is what guides us.
“As we embark on a new era,
we hold fast to the notion that
trials, tribulations, challenges,
nor COVID will break us or disrupt
our mission to represent
our culture and contributions,”
she said. “Look out for new talent,
new programs and a new
generation of Caribbean leaders
from WIADCA. See you on
our virtual stage.”
“This year’s virtual events
are an exciting new way to
celebrate and promote the
vibrancy of Caribbean culture
to New York City and beyond,
and we are thrilled to be a
part of them!,” said Victoria
Schneps, president and publisher
Caribbean Life, A 26 ug. 28-Sept. 3, 2020
Schneps Media and
owner of Caribbean Life.

“The Tonight Show, Ellen, The
New York Times and countless
others.”
In June, Cooper said she
signed with William Morris
Endeavor, and is currently
adapting her comedic efforts
for film and television.
She said she is also working
on her next book title, a
humorous semi-autobiographical
take on Dale Carnegie’s
“How to Win Friends and Influence
People” (Audible, 2021).
CNN said her TikTok fame
got her a gig filling in for
Jimmy Kimmel earlier this
month, and she has a Netflix
special coming out in the fall.
But the network said “the
target of Cooper’s ridicule
hadn’t been asked what he
thinks of the videos until Sunday.”
In a preview of a Fox News
interview, host Steve Hilton
asked Trump if he had seen
Cooper’s parody.
“I have not, no,” he said. “I’d
like to see them. Are they good
or bad?”
Hilton told Trump he
thought the president would
find them very entertaining,
according to CNN.
“OK, good! I’d like to see
them,” Trump said. “If you’re
saying they’re positive, I’d like
to look. If they’re not positive…”
Hilton acknowledged,
according to CNN, that Cooper
“doesn’t mean it to be positive.”
“I see,” Trump said. “Well,
I’ll have to check it out.”
CNN said Cooper has garnered
a huge social media following
since going viral in
April for her satirical Trump
impressions.
“She has been retweeted
and praised by a multitude of
entertainers, including Lin-
Manuel Miranda, Ben Stiller,
Halle Berry, Chrissy Teigen
and Cher,” the cable network
said.
It said Cooper’s “How to
Medical” video has been viewed
“more 20 million times and
counting.”
The video parodies Trump’s
suggestion that health experts
examine whether light and disinfectant
should be put inside
people’s bodies to cleanse them
of coronavirus, CNN said.
Prior to her online success,
it said Cooper was a writer and
correspondent on the CBS All
Access pilot “Old News,” produced
by Stephen Colbert.
