Huw Parkinson may have achieved the unthinkable: getting pro- and anti-Trumpers to find some common ground.

Key points: Mash-up appears on CNN, BBC and cover of New York Post

Mash-up appears on CNN, BBC and cover of New York Post Anti-Trumpers, pro-Trumpers debate if it is a parody or supportive video

Anti-Trumpers, pro-Trumpers debate if it is a parody or supportive video Parkinson says Pope-Trump exchange added "cherry on top"

The Australian political satirist's latest mash-up, featuring Donald Trump in a Game of Thrones-like saga, has gone global, notching up millions of views online, receiving plays on CNN and the BBC and making the cover of The New York Post.

"Yesterday I got home from work and suddenly saw a clip of Whoopi Goldberg introducing the clip on The View, and that kind of blew my mind," Parkinson, whose work appears on the ABC's Insiders program, said.

Perhaps even more surprising, however, have been the reactions from the supporters and detractors of the divisive US presidential candidate.

"Honestly, the pro-Trumpers seem to love it as much as the anti-Trumpers," Parkinson said.

"The comments on the video itself seem to be mostly people arguing whether or not it is a parody or if it's actually a supportive video.

"Everyone seems to love it. I've united them in their hate for each other.

"They are still shouting at each other, they are just arguing over who's right as to the angle of the video."

Parkinson spent a couple of weeks, on and off, working on the Trump mash-up.

That involved watching a whole lot of the candidate's political speeches.

"I've done a few videos like this before, and sometimes I'm working from a two-minute interview grab," he said.

"When I'm working with an endless supply of Trump quotes, as well as 50-plus hours of a TV show, you really have a lot of different options you could go with."

Just as Parkinson was finishing the piece off, there was a fierce exchange between Mr Trump and Pope Francis, with the pontiff saying the businessman is not a Christian if he plans to build a wall to keep out immigrants.

That, he said, just added "the little cherry on top to the pacing".

Parkinson received a Walkley Award in 2015 for multimedia storytelling for the "funny and distinctive" way he digests the political hot topics.

He said he could not say which political figures might appear in his next mash-up. That depends on what the news cycle throws up.
