On Saturday, Egyptian engineer, named Wissam Magdy, turned a ballad song that was originally sung in support of former late President Hosni Mubarak "Ekhtarnah" ("We Chose Him") into a parody to show praise for Donald Trump in the current US presidential elections.

The song has gone viral on social media, both in Egypt and in the United States, after being posted on Magdy’s official Facebook page and has received over 100,000 views on YouTube.

Magdy commented, “I did not make the song either to ridicule or support Trump, because I am an Egyptian not an American citizen. However, I do value Trump for many of the positions in which he supports Egypt.

Six years after the original release of "Boshrit Kheir" song by the Emirati singer "Hussein Al Jasmi", it has topped social media trends but now with English lyrics on the occasion of the launch of the US presidential election race.

The new version was prepared by a young man, in which he urged the American people to participate and vote for President Donald Trump, in order to win a new presidential term.

The English version of "Boshrit Kheir" had the same melody of the original song, which was launched originally launched in 2014 to encourage Egyptians to participate in the presidential elections, which led the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to power.

It also was written in a way compatible with the Egyptian version, but it was taken into account to replace the names of Egyptian governorates and Egyptian places with the American states.

The song includes scenes of Donald Trump's famous dance, which he repeatedly performed at some of his election rallies that he made during his electoral campaign.

Trump ahead of what has now become one of the most contentious presidential elections in American history, as Trump’s Democrat rival Joe Biden is currently ahead in the vote count, having taken narrow leads in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Last night while the votes were still being counted, Trump prematurely declared himself victorious in the tightly-contested election and warned: “We are going to the United States Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.”

While his opponent, Biden tweeted that “We feel good about where we are… we believe we are on track to win this election.”

Despite winning key swing states Florida and Pennsylvania and securing safe red state Texas, Trump claimed his lead “magically disappeared in key states” after Joe Biden pulled ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan.
