This guy does a hilarious Trump imitation.

I'll put it after the jump because it's TikTok, which seems to cause trouble with some browsers.

He's got the mannerisms down pretty good. Needs some voice work. The first one was funny. Not quite as good on the second.

I'm suprised there aren't some truly great Trump impersonators out there. They'd have a plethora of material to work with.

I agree that the top one is more accomplished, but I laughed hysterically at the second.

Bob DiBuono is a great Trump impersonator. Google him! (Full disclosure: I have worked with Bob and he's a funny guy, even without the impersonation. But his Trump is perhaps the best one out there.) There are many "truly great Trump impersonators out there," but they're all busy making money doing corporates, if they're any good. And US television doesn't have variety shows any more, so there are few opportunities in primetime for them compared to, say, 1968 when David Frye and two or three others were working on their Nixons and their Johnsons and their Humphries on shows like Ed Sullivan and the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

He definitely has the cadence down almost perfect. The voice, though, doesn't really sound like Trump but for that rhythm. I thought both were really, really funny though.

Yes, Bob DiBuono is the best I have seen, too- has the cadence and the right sound. Also, the guy really is hilarious.

He's so easy to do. One company down here jumped on the bandwagon early with a radio commercial for flooring. Something like..."What great floors, tremendous floors, the most beautiful things I've seen since I last looked in a mirror"

Heck, the jokes write themselves.

I did some searching. Other than one construction worker I saw the tiktok guy looks pretty good. Not to say there aren't some pretty good Trump routines out there, but impersonators on par with Frye or Little, not so much.

"Heck, the jokes write themselves."

Chuck did a couple of bigly yuuge parodies of Trump that were pretty good before he went crazy.

Ann Althouse said...

With this guy, I’m impressed by the funniness of the material and not so much the accuracy of the sound of the voice.

Temujin said...

Hilarious. Loved the second one.

Quaestor said...

It would have been funnier and pithier if instead of China he had said California.

daskol said...

He does a mean Obama too. Zeroed in not just on the mimicry but what's funny about them.

Wince said...

Not an "imitation" or "impersonation".

That was an impression, as he claims prominently.

Didn't strike me as breakthrough shit, however.

My immediate "impression" of him was that there must be better Trump impressions out there.

Sorry. Leaves me cold. Humor can be quite elusive.

Browndog said...

God, that was funny.

Nothing like a good morning laugh to set the day ahead.

The first one was funny. But there is actually a major problem in India (not China) of people not using toilets or latrines but just emptying outside.
