In 2016, an Access Hollywood outtake from 2005 resurfaced, in which the future president boasted about his ability to sexually harass and assault women, saying: “Grab them by the p***y.”
The show’s co-host Billy Bush could be heard laughing along.
In the new Netflix special, Sarah Cooper: Everything’s Fine, Cooper offers an “exclusive look” at Trump and Bush’s conversation.
The skit sees Cooper lip-sync the role of Trump, while Bush is played by Mirren.
In a review for Vanity Fair, Yohana Desta said Mirren “gamely embodies the weaselly Bush, egging Trump on”.
The LA Times’s Robert Lloyd, meanwhile, called the re-enactment “somehow even more disturbing than the real thing”.
Sarah Cooper: Everything’s Fine is out now on Netflix.
