"Niki Haley. Niki Niki Niki. Darling Niki. Purple Rain." And that's when I burst out laughing. This was a hilarious cold open. A little (OK, maybe a lot) frightening, maybe. But hilarious nonetheless.
'Darling Nikki' and 'Purple Rain' are both Prince songs. He was referring to Nikki Haley with 'Darling Nikki' and then rambled (as Trump RAMBLES A LOT) onto another Prince song.
More than a little frightening. Jail, president, or the purge. If he loses and has to actually face trial, it's hard to imagine him not at least attempting option 3.
Yeah that and him doing the weird arms and referencing smooth criminal got me
nails the impersonation. excellent👏👏👏
A comedy writing team is never required for a true-to-life Trump skit.
Actually, I think the writer's job is ten times harder in these times when the comedy "writes itself".
Then why is this so aggressively unfunny?
@@starangwonder2594 Because right wingers don’t do comedy
@@starangwonder2594 Trump, Don Jr., Eric, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, George Santos, Jim Jordan Mike Lindell etc. These are the faces of the MAGA movement. MAGA REPUBLICANS and the Trump crime syndicate are the LAUGHING STOCK of the planet 😂
@@starangwonder2594Trump is a senile dementia patient
Darkest, and most truthful opening ever.
The doctor said, "Sir, you have to be in the top 99% of all the concussion and dementia people we give this test to." hahahahaha!!
Instant classic! Very nicely done there
You've won me over. Best Trump impression ever!
I’m torn between him and Alec Baldwin.
I like how you simulated his neck crease.
Thrunt
"Went to 99 counties but couldn't win one" Line of the year
That's not the line.
Trump only won 98 of 99 counties. Nikki Haley won the other. 😮
99 counties and Bitch didn't win one. He was doing a take off from JayZ song, got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.
@@Igaveyoumyfakename If you havin line problems I feel bad for you son!
😂😂😂😂
His hand work is what sells it. Spot on with those crazy jerky weird hand gestures.
HOW IS IT THAT SOME PEOPLE DONT SEE AND HEAR THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IN THIS ??? someone tell me how 😂
I feel you in that sweetheart
It just trump fatigue, it's not JAJ's fault
I guess it’s true, you can’t fix stupid.
Because it's boring. I wish Trump was this mellow.
James Austin Johnson is right up there with my favorite Trump impersonators
How is he not your top??? who is better?
Then you don't know Trump. Roflmao.
His is flawless, no notes.
He sounds so much like him, it makes it hard to enjoy. Lol
Thankyou for his name. He IS excellent. I could close my eyes and think I was listening to the tRump.
This is the first time I've seen whoever this is doing his impersonation. His impersonation is amazing. So spot on!
It's like Trump in 2016, not how low energy Trump is now.
His name's in the video description.
@@treetopjones737is he really? I haven’t been paying attention to him
This is James Austin Johnson. He's been on the show since season 47, though when he started, he played Joe Biden and did a good job until he started playing Trump (where he got more acclaim for it because it was more frighteningly realistic than, say, the Alec Baldwin take on Trump) and Mikey Day replaced him as Biden.
His impression is the most convincing I've ever seen. 😂
Beyond brilliant. Actually chilling near the end.
“Vivica A. Ramaswamy…”
Lmao!
How GD funny!
I can’t even remember his actual name now.😂
Vivica A. Fox was combined with Vivek Ramaswamy. (She's the actress with Ice T doing the Car Warranty commercials) - Trump confuses pop culture references.
His trump is too good. At this point it's not a parody:it's a tragedy. He was president.
He could still be President... if he wasn't yet barred from re running...
…or should have been arrested for impersonating one
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 You can't be arrested for impersonating the president though, not unless your try to meet with certain officials, get into restricted areas, or do other things from a position of authority...
Mitch McConnell and the Federalist Society were the real president, not Trump.
You lack imagination. Once in power again, Trump will arrange to have all who mock him arrested.
Perfect impersonation 😂😂😂😂 Seriously! The best! It’s chilling how much he nailed Donald Trump’s personality.
That was one of the best cold opens in a while
Keep drinking at that koolaid well, you must be the brains of the operation...
No, they’ve been way better.
The way he morphs into Trump is insane and I love how he blends into his normal voice for the “live from New York!” To really hear the contrast lol.
He mentioned Twin Peaks on David Lynch's birthday. I feel like that's not a coincidence.
Nice!
"It is Happening Again. It is Happening Again!" - the Giant
The hairpin that crept out over his left shoulder was fun to watch. I kept thinking it was going to fall.
“I’m doing great with cognitive” - Trump has to have actually said this already. That was 100% spot on.
I want a sticker that says that
@bingbongboomboomHe's not, sorry to break it to you.
@bingbongboomboom He couldn't be more wrong. You're doing worse with "cognitive" than the big orange turd.
I made the same comment without reading yours lol.
have you seen biden
This is Johnson’s funniest bit yet.
Best writing, best impersonator.
It’s actually hard to tell them apart.
The incorrect plurals get me every time! 🤣
Same, omg. "In courthouse lobby" "In courtroom" "With the cognitive". It's like his brain gives up before he finishes😂
Bing bong!
Oh my gosh. He KILLED it!!!
Wow, still cleaning tears from my eyes 😂😂😂😂
This is way too coherent to be trump!!! Spot on impression
Way too coherent?? Have you seen/heard your president? Liberalism = Retardation!!
Please elaborate... I can produce videos of Biden being incoherent... tons of them. th-cam.com/video/Aa8Kotg3dyY/w-d-xo.html
@21972012145525 - And Mr Johnson enunciates too well. We can understand every word. He needs to slur and verbally stumble now and then. As Randy Rainbow said, "he speaks in tongues when his dentures start slippin'g" (see "Cheeto Christ Superstar" ) And he needs moe padding.
More incoherent than Biden? I doubt that
TRUMP 2024!!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
_I am standing weirder than ever..._ 😂
3:23 That’s a new element to the impression! He got it even better now.
LOL @ love being on trial!
He needs a fat suit. Without it he makes Trump look fit.
Yes it’s a lazy make over. The hair he’s so fat and bloated now and orange like the awfulness in him is on the outside as well as the inside
😂😂😂
I thought leftists were against bodyshaming?
@@thepatriarchy8443 Who's shaming? The OP is merely wanting physical accuracy - there's no shame in that.
Massive assumption that the OP is left-wing.
Also, _"leftist"?_ Are we in kindergarten or something?! 😆
He does such a great impersonation of Trump. I especially like how they gave him that weird little flap on his neck 😂😂😂
No way, really? Isn't that the actor's real neck?
@@anniefannycharles9951 no!! Look at a pic of Trump. His neck looks just like that. Then look at a picture of that actor, he is way too young to have a flappy neck, lol
The official term for the neck thing is a NECK-GINA!!!!!!!!!
@@anniefannycharles9951 Oh no. They add that.
@@anniefannycharles9951 The actor is about 35 years old. The sagging chin and flappy neck skin is all make up.
This watches like real life...its bizarre actually, it invokes a stirring dissonance in me despite how grounded this sketch is
It is not funny one bit because it is too realistic. And the the content is much too serious to be humorous. For the exact same reasons we don't see comedy sketches about school shootings.
you know what makes these so good and bad at the same time is you could close your eyes not watch the screen and you could not tell me if this was a skit or the real trump lmao
Darrell Hammond did a great Bill Clinton, Norm Macdonald did a great Bob Dole, Will Ferrell did a great George Bush, Jay Pharoah did a great Barack Obama, Tina Fey did a great Sarah Palin, Kate McKinnon did a great Hillary Clinton, and this guy does a great Donald Trump!
Why isn't Alec Baldwin playing Trump anymore?
TLDR
@@danvaccariello439because he was charged with involuntary manslaughter this week
@@JoannC830 Interesting.
@@danvaccariello439 Alec Baldwin was funny playing Donald Trump, but this guy does a lot better job actually sounding and impersonating him. I’m sure Alec Baldwin is more worried about all his legal issues right now instead of playing Donald Trump on SNL.
How'd they get the hands so tiny? It's perfect!😆😂😅🤣
That BOBBY PIN by his left ear feels correct.😂😂😂😂😂
45 doesn't wear a wig. Your stupid.
"Frankly, the Purge." This was his best skit yet. And it was mostly just him speaking-always a sign that someone is mastering their subject.
When the comedic impression makes more sense than the real person.
This is not as silly their performance in the actual trial.
The actual trial is fine. It is Trump's reaction that is silly.
@JoeNarbaiz Trump defames her even in court ! This Jury will be handing out Big $$$$ as Trump's pockets will be pulled inside out ! To think he could have just submitted to a DNA sample then have that compared to the semen DNA on E Jean Carroll's dress to prove his innocence. We all know that he wouldn't because he is GUILTY !
Very true that he has bottom of the barrel lawyers. Any lawyer that is any good would not touch him with a 10 foot pole!
Would you, if you were a lawyer? I sure wouldn't want to be known as Trump's lawyer. If you believe in God & in Heaven, being Trump's lawyer is a losing proposition, no matter how you look at it! You won't get paid for any of your hard work while you're alive, & then, when you die, you have to explain to God why you agreed to take DJT on as a client. SMH (Good luck with that explanation)
Nah. Kim is spot on tbh@@circusbrains
If anyone were to take him on, they'd have to get the money upfront.
Remember when his whole lawyer team quit and he had to get a whole new one just before his last impeachment trial? Memories.
Biden's son has some good lawyers!
Best impressions ever! Thank goodness for those who can make us laugh at the craziness.
Hilarious and the HEAD TILT‼️🤣🤣
Damn, that end with his telling people to die to vote for him but God sent him is hard core on the nose. lol.
He needs to watch his mouth even if hes joking. Which he is by the way if you haven’t noticed…
Trump literally did say that... Nearly verbatim.
@@JlDlON trump voters are dead inside so it the truth
@@JMurrinYT umm no an article was written about Biden staying alive in 2020 election verbatim
His suit fits too well. That’s the only way you can tell it’s not actually Trump.
His suits are actually very well made, they're just designed to hide how fat and weirdly shaped he is. And probably to provide some sort of back support
Everything else was perfect. They even got courtroom right.
Omg, he's stellar. I wouldn't be able to tell if I hadn't googled SNL haha.
just the dead movement alone is perfect, the facial expression, the head tilting back and forth after a few sentences
This is side splitting hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This dude has worked so hard on his Trump impersonation. Definitely my favorite newest cast member and earned my respect. I NEED him to do the “Look at my African American over there” bit 😂😂
I have the best African American. My African American had tears in his eyes when said Sir.
😂😂
It would be great o have James Austin Johnson as Trump and a Black Actor as Obama!
And he did it LIVE!
