«Breaking News» Trump heralds Farm Bill signing by tweeting video of himself singing 'Green Acres' theme song

Donald Trump once appeared on stage at the Emmy Awards dressed as a farmer in overalls and performing the theme from the 1960s-era TV comedy 'Green Acres.' President Donald Trump teased Thursday's Farm Bill signing event by tweeting the video footage. 

'Farm Bill signing in 15 minutes!' Trump wrote, along with hashtags for '#Emmys' and '#TBT'–shorthand for 'Throwback Thursday.'

In the video, Trump played the part of Eddie Albert's character, a New York lawyer who years for life on a farm–and moves to one. 'Will and Grace' actress Megan Mullally played Eva Gabor's pampered Manhattan wife who can't stand the countryside.

President Donald Trump teased his Farm Bill signing ceremony on Thursday by tweeting a 2005 video of him bringing the house down at the Emmy Awards by performing the theme song from 'Green Acres' with actress Megan Mullally

The president said at the bill signing that someone on his staff had found the recording – so he asked them to play a little of it before he took the stage

White House aides replayed some of the audio from the event before Trump entered the South Court Auditorium for the bill signing, along with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.

'omg,' Mullally tweeted. 'if you guys need me, i’ll be in a hole in the ground.' 

At the time of the Emmy Awards stunt, she told The Wrap that getting Trump to sing was the perfect antidote to his tough-as-nails persona on 'The Apprentice.'

'Everybody thought he was this funny guy who was doing this caricature of himself, nobody thought he was really that person,' Mullally said said. 'I thought it was fun to see him in overalls and a white t-shirt and a pitchfork and a straw hat.'

It was also part of a competition. Host Ellen DeGeneres held what she called 'Emmy Idol' during the broadcast, inviting TV viewers to phone in and vote for their favorite live performance of the night.

Trump and Mullally won, beating William Shatner's rendition of the 'Star Trek' theme song and a young Kristen Bell singing the 'Fame' theme in 1980s-style leg warmers.

'Green Acres' ran from 1965 to 1971, a sitcom about a New York lawyer who moves with his wife to a farm despite her desire to stay in their Park Avenue penthouse apartment

The Emmy Awards broadcast included the pair performing their unlikely duet as part of an 'Emmy Idol' stunt contest – which they won

'He really wanted to win because people were calling in to vote,' Mullally told 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert last year, remembering that the future president called her in her 'Will and Grace' dressing room to congratulate her the next day. 

''You know what? We really needed to win that thing and we did,' she recalled Trump saying. 'And you were a big part of that, so I just wanted to say that we really needed to win it. Not only did we win it, but I hear we killed them. It was a landslide!'

Thirteen years later, Trump laughed it off.

'I sang "Green Acres," and received a very nice award that night. That was really great,' he chuckled before talking more seriously about the Farm Bill. 

'So we had that, somebody had it. I said, "Put it on." Not too much of it, but put it on.'

‘Farm Bill signing ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
