Sarah Cooper

In spring 2020, Cooper began publishing a series of videos online in which she lip synched comments by Donald Trump on the topic of potential cures for the 2019 coronavirus disease. Cooper's first viral satire features her lip synching to a minute of audio from the April 23 press briefing during which Trump suggested that light and household cleaners might have uses for treating coronavirus infections. She subsequently produced several other similarly themed videos. The videos were successes on social media platforms, and were reviewed as examples of how comedians could perform political satire without any audience, which was particularly germane due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The videos were also noted as being examples of extremely economical political satire, since Cooper's videos are structured around an unedited voice clip of a politician speaking.

Sarah Cooper (born c. 1977) is an American author and comedian based in New York City. Her first book, 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings, was published on October 4, 2016.
