Since it went off the air in 1992, The Golden Girls has inspired countless tributes, from coloring books to ice cream sundaes to a planned New York City eatery .

However, this spoof of the sitcoms famous theme song, Thank You for Being a Friend, couldnt be more perfectly timed. Created by Comedy Centrals late night improv show @midnight , the clip casts Donald Trump , Mike Pence , Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Kong Un in the place of the four Golden Girls.

The mens faces are superimposed onto the bodies of Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia in the clip, which has been viewed over 2.5 million times since it was posted on @midnights official Facebook page on Wednesday. Still, seeing Putin and Trump share a warm embrace and face off in a tap routine doesnt have quite the same heartwarming effect as it did when Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan were doing it.

Now that Trump is reportedly enjoying a post-Republican National Convention poll spike , a little levity goes a long way. Heres to hoping we wont see these scenes play out in the White House next year.
