Watching this was a whole body experience: I froze in place, my brain was in disbelief, I couldn't laugh, my breathing stopped, my jaw dropped to the floor, the hairs on my arm stood up, my eyes bugged out, and I'm still tingling from the shock.
Trump was a perfect politician. He didn't work for his "fortune" He let his father's inheritance bleed out while pretending to be a billionaire. He had to lie/scam/cheat his money out of every one/ every instance he could in order to maintain his facade... He was already doing what politicians do.

I'm not a fan of his impersonation of Biden, but his Trump honestly blew me away. The rambling was so perfect. You could close your eyes and swear it was Trump saying the exact same things.
It’s funny how the man who plays Trump has to kill someone to get off the show but you bitch about Trump supporters being anti-gay yet the man who played Trump would go around calling people to F word on the streets you guys don’t really stand by your convictions.

Baldwin’s got more and more caricature-ish as time went by. Johnson is more into (excellent) accurate mimicry like Darrell Hammond and Bill Hader’s Alan Alda.
This is why the libitards lost VA because nothing said in this sketch is relevant. SNL could have hit it out of the park with an edgy sketch about Alec Baldwin killing someone on the set of Rust, but of course, they pass up that comic gem up for this unfunny turd.

@@WNT2BLV Joe is at least of above average intelligence (I'd say around a 120 IQ) & knowledgeable. That's clear. TFG has an IQ in the 80's & the comprehension of the world of an unintelligent, emotionally crippled, immature 11 year old. No hyperbole.
Definitely the best voice, but none of these people doing Trump can sound as dumb as he does. They use the same mannerisms, voice and tone, but there's this missing bit of stupid that it may not be possible to recreate.

It was funny. But where are the Biden impressions of him sniffing little girls and women? Or not knowing where he’s at or what’s going on? Or him saying complete sentences of gibberish. It sucks SNL is completely biased. There’s comedy gold that they aren’t doing. Either they won’t do it because they are painfully biased,, or they aren’t allowed to do anything that pokes fun at the Democrats. I’m a registered Democrat but Biden is an embarrassment.
@@frankiek2269 by that logic, you'd like to see Trump groping beauty pageant contestants as well? idk man sniffing girls doesn't seem as funny to me as i think you do.
While I’m not a fan of Biden, he doesn't really ramble, that’s just something the republicans are making up. He does have a speech impediment & maybe they don't want to make fun of a disability. Besides, it's always more fun to pick on an a55hole that's trying to destroy our democracy than than the man who’s trying to pick up the pieces, regardless of how ill-equipped he may be at doing so. SNL may be biased, but their bias won't drive this country into the ground. The blatant bias and outright lies that the republican party is selling as truth will.
I know I’m just reiterating other’s comments, but flat out the best impression of how Trump talks (literally they perfectly illustrate it), and his voice is spot on.
The reason he was hired on SNL is because he did the impression on social media, and was really popular on tiktok. I’m guessing that SNL wants more people that resonate with the new generations

We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important." Donald J. Trump Great Falls, Montana 5th July 2018
James Austin Johnson came out of the gates swinging on SNL. No warm up period at all. This Trump sketch is gold, the voice, mannerisms and pace is on point. Doesn’t even exaggerate just perfect!

I was pumped up to see this trump impersonation after reading from the comments & they weren’t kidding. Better than anyone I’ve seen. From the voice inflections, the speech patterns, the commonly used expressions & more... he crushed it.

Agreed! A true Chameleon! And they must recognize it because James Austin Johnson's screen time has exceeded some veterans this season.
@@villreee5939 Alright, but why not punctuate your thoughts? I understand wanting to steer clear of periods, yuk, but what about all the missing commas...and then there's the issue of capitalizing certain words that should have been capitalized, but without any damn punctuation, how are we to know which ones? Grammar, it's not just for breakfast anymore.
I'm not a fan of his impersonation of Biden, but his Trump honestly blew me away. The rambling was so perfect. You could close your eyes and swear it was Trump saying the exact same things.
The guy playing Trump is the best new cast member they’ve had in a while. He’s done great in all skits.

What’s his name
@@maplelu9514 James Austin Johnson!
Shane Gillis would have been better
It’s funny how the man who plays Trump has to kill someone to get off the show but you bitch about Trump supporters being anti-gay yet the man who played Trump would go around calling people to F word on the streets you guys don’t really stand by your convictions. Maybe that’s why Glen won because of the double standards that even Saturday night live represent today shameful. Surprised you guys didn’t go with the black white supremacist bit, hilarious. Oh that’s right you guys really believe it.

The best Trump impression I've ever seen, oh my god....
The voice is indistinguishable!!!
Agreed, best one Ive ever seen
For real! 🤣
Tippy-Top impression of the Orange Nightmare.
Shane Gillis is the best Trump. But like always SNL is too politically correct and they let him go
“The movie is rotten, just ask the tomatoes.” That’s golden!!

That Trump impression.... 100% PERFECT! Alec Baldwin was amazing but James A. Johnson nailed the voice!!!
Baldwin was shit. This guy is amazing.
Baldwin’s got more and more caricature-ish as time went by. Johnson is more into (excellent) accurate mimicry like Darrell Hammond and Bill Hader’s Alan Alda.
Grundle, Rhindle or Yorkle?
J.L. Cauvin still does a better Trump but this guy is good.
My only problem is that he is that they should have given him a fatsuit to play Donald Trump
WOAH, that Trump impersonation was fantastic. The rhythm and tone of his speech was spot on.
That Rundown with Trump is gonna be a thing, please continue to be a thing. Sh*t was hilarious…great job James 🙌🏼
This is why the libitards lost VA because nothing said in this sketch is relevant. SNL could have hit it out of the park with an edgy sketch about Alec Baldwin killing someone on the set of Rust, but of course, they pass up that comic gem up for this unfunny turd.

James Austin Johnson's Trump is the most accurate by far. This guy deserves A LOT more ovations than he did.
damn. you are right. thats actually unnerving.
The Baldwin one was basically just a massive exaggeration! This guy actually HAS a Trump aura about him.
I kept thinking he's just lipsyncing...incredible!

It's the "look at what they're doing with Dune" that cracks me up the most. This dude is night and day above Baldwin's awful Trump.

@@cc1k435 this guy was good, but I miss baldwins trump 😢 lol
Aside from James’ spot on speech impersonation of Trump, the physical gestures, down to the most minute facial expression, are at another level compared to other Trump impersonators. Well done, James!
Problem is his voice changes way to much from trump to deep cracky voice. Sucks baldwin shot some one. He made the best trump and carry as biden
@@reptileman8349 baldwins voice was terrible
Nah baldwin showed the true apathetic moronic side of trump

he nailed it -- a perfect cadence of choppy sentences.......
I closed my eyes and for a moment, couldn't tell if it was real or not...
It’s tremendous
Dear lord, that is a terrifyingly accurate Trump impression.

The impression is near-perfect, except for the smile at the end. He almost never smiles, only smirks.
They also need to stuff more padding under his shirt.
James’s impression is really good! Much better than Baldwin’s IMO. He’s right up there with Darrell Hammond’s.
The best Trump impression I’ve ever heard. It’s so close to his real voice, it’s scary. Nothing too over the top.
He captured dumb Donald to a tee.
Definitely the best voice, but none of these people doing Trump can sound as dumb as he does. They use the same mannerisms, voice and tone, but there's this missing bit of stupid that it may not be possible to recreate.

That might be the most spot on Trump impression I've seen so far on SNL.
Better than Baldwin's impression. Idk why people liked it so much. It really wasn't very good.
Maybe if I was drunk I would agree with you
Cspan survey of historians came out last month and has Trump ranked as the 41st greatest president
@@skinny668 Well, it goes to show how incompetent you are to see that if you're drunk. Baldwin was fine but, Justin needs to work on his expressions.

Most accurate political impression I’ve seen on SNL, ever!
@@dffndjdjd Fey was a perfect for it though. JAJ seems to have a wider range. His Biden is also the best of any on SNL, and there have been quite a few.

My favorite thing about James Austin Johnson is that he doesn't quite look like any of the people he impersonates but somehow it's so spot-on
Well-said.
I’m so glad the comments didn’t disappoint on his Trump impression. Spot on!
cognitive dissonance: when you watch the face and the voice don't fit together ;)
It was funny. But where are the Biden impressions of him sniffing little girls and women? Or not knowing where he’s at or what’s going on? Or him saying complete sentences of gibberish. It sucks SNL is completely biased. There’s comedy gold that they aren’t doing. Either they won’t do it because they are painfully biased,, or they aren’t allowed to do anything that pokes fun at the Democrats. I’m a registered Democrat but Biden is an embarrassment.
@@frankiek2269 by that logic, you'd like to see Trump groping beauty pageant contestants as well? idk man sniffing girls doesn't seem as funny to me as i think you do.
@@treefiddytwoo him shitting his pants would have been pretty good material to work with..
While I’m not a fan of Biden, he doesn't really ramble, that’s just something the republicans are making up. He does have a speech impediment & maybe they don't want to make fun of a disability. Besides, it's always more fun to pick on an a55hole that's trying to destroy our democracy than than the man who’s trying to pick up the pieces, regardless of how ill-equipped he may be at doing so.
SNL may be biased, but their bias won't drive this country into the ground. The blatant bias and outright lies that the republican party is selling as truth will.
Cecily kills it as drunken Judge Jeanine Pirro every time - Heil Biden

I know I’m just reiterating other’s comments, but flat out the best impression of how Trump talks (literally they perfectly illustrate it), and his voice is spot on.
This guy has Trump’s speech mannerisms perfected
Best Trump impression I've seen. He has it down.
Yes he did a much better job than he did on Biden.
WTF how good is this Trump impression?? ? Spot on!
Whoa, James NAILED that Trump voice. That was creepy. Poor man, how much Trump must he have watched sober to get that down so well?
The reason he was hired on SNL is because he did the impression on social media, and was really popular on tiktok. I’m guessing that SNL wants more people that resonate with the new generations

@@pale_saint Do you want to see some "incoherent rambling"? Take a look at a Donny Two Scoops quote:
"I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record.
Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records.
Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important."

I was pumped up to see this trump impersonation after reading from the comments & they weren’t kidding. Better than anyone I’ve seen. From the voice inflections, the speech patterns, the commonly used expressions & more... he crushed it.

Love the Pirro impression. The loud, nagging, whining voice is almost spot on.
Imagine giving title credit to Pete Davidson's Aaron Rodgers when the real star of the clip was James Austin Johnson's Trump. :D

And really, isn't that the true measure of the quality of a Trump impression? 😀
Trump is going to say it's terrible because he can't say it's great but he knows inside that it's great.
The dialogue makes more sense than Trump ever did so he might see that as a plus, not to mention he just hopes he stays relevant I'm guessing
Now does this mean Trump can play Alec Baldwin?
Phenomenal Trump impression by the newbie!! Hilariously accurate!
If you close your eyes, you would think that was Trump himself talking. WOW.
I was actually not looking at the screen and this video autoplayed and I legit thought it was playing a trump video
I'd rather not
Yeah it`s pretty fing terrible. The fact that orange turd is immortalized through parody is offensive to me...they should have never even acknowledged his existence on snl.
For those who don't know, James has been doing this masterful impression where he blurts out random words in the same style and structure as Trump lol on Twitter for a while now. I highly recommend checking it out and it's most likely the reason he was hired.
His bit on the Capitol Hill protesters where he promises them a $29.99 Lego set and that they can watch PG-13 in the big bed tonight is so good
I’m shocked how his impression on trump it’s actually the best
That's what got him famous actually, he started uploading vids of him impersonating Trump on Twitter and he got a lot of attention from it and that's how he ended up being scouted by SNL Lol.
Shane Gillis is much better at it.
Right? I mean the voice, the cadence, the string of nonsense.
