Donald Trump on His TV Imitators: ‘I’m Not Offended’
- 8 years ago
There is only one Donald J. Trump, and yet as he has continued his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, there has been a groundswell of would-be Donald Trumps - who are imitating him for laughs.
This past week, Mr. Trump was impersonated by no less than Johnny Depp, the Academy Award-nominated actor and star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, in an online film for the Funny or Die website that became an Internet sensation .
Among the professional Donald-gangers who met with his approval was Mr. Fallon, who played Mr. Trump's mirror reflection in a "Tonight" show sketch when Mr. Trump appeared on that program in September.
“Now it’s gotten out of control, right?”
Mr. Trump asked rhetorically in a telephone interview on Friday.
“Now it’s really gotten crazy.”
He added that the proliferation of impressionists was “a great honor,” and a sign of the health of his presidential campaign.
