The narrator sounds awfully familiar.

After the late-night show hosts of countries across the U.K., Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and South Asia put their own homeland’s hats in the ring to be the second to America’s first, a new contender has risen to face the gauntlet: India.

As a special “Valentine’s Day” message to President Donald Trump, Indian online publication Flysauce makes a firm argument for why India should be America’s right-hand country. After all, India is the second most populated country in the world, and they’ve given us the gift of yoga. Really, what would the U.S. be if it weren’t for yoga pants, hmm?

With the help of a picture of Aziz Ansari as Tom from Parks and Recreation, the video makes fun of Trump’s tape scandal from his presidential campaign, his allegedly tiny hands, his voice, and his rocky relations with Mexico (and Mexicans, who aren’t the artist Pitbull, though it’s probably all the same to Trump anyway).
