Whoa! Is there anyone Trump HASN'T inspired? Weird Al reveals 'the truth' about his name

I'd always wondered. Good to know!!!

At last! Tonight, we finally learned the real reason Al Yankovic became “Weird Al”:

The truth is, I only named myself Weird Al because I wanted to save @realdonaldtrump the trouble of coming up with a stupid nickname for me.

You mean you didn’t want to be known “Little Al” or “Crooked Al” or “Lyin’ Al”? But …but … Trump-brand nicknames are so clever!

Of course, Weird Al may have just sealed his fate with Trump:

You realize, now he's going to call you "Not So Weird Al Yankovic" just to be obnoxious.
