Politics was a major theme at the American Music Awards, which took place on Sunday, 20 November, with a number of celebrities coming forward to say their piece on Donald Trump. Joining the bandwagon was event host Gigi Hadid, who showed off a mad impression of First Lady-to-be Melania Trump.

Hadid, along with co-host Jay Pharoah, kicked off their monologue with a mention about the Electoral College before the 21-year-old model took a jab at Melania for famously plagiarising Michelle Obama.

"This is my Melania Trump impression. I have to get the face right," she told the audience before doing her impression.

"I love my husband, President Barack Obama, and our children, Sasha and Malia," Hadid said while trying to make her face look more like Mrs Trump's by squinting her eyes and pouting.

Pharoah also took his turn to mock the president-elect. After Bruno Mars performed the opening number for the night, the stand-up comedian offered an impression of what Trump would say about the performance.
