US-based comedian Austin Nasso is going viral online for his hilarious impersonation of US-President-elect Donald Trump during a fictional visit to India. In the video, shared on Instagram, Mr Nasso nails the Republican leader’s mannerisms and tone, leaving social media users in stitches. The clip begins with the comedian quipping that Mr Trump would be amazed at the sight of “tuk-tuks” in the Asian country. “It’s incredible they have tuk-tuks and tiny trucks. Wow. They’re so tiny, they’re like legos,” Mr Nasso says while imitating the president-elect’s voice.
The comedian then goes on to exclaim while mimicking Mr Trump’s voice, “They have the most incredible cuisine we’ve ever seen. We love to see it.” “Wow. Look at that. Wow. And their cities have sci-fi names- ‘High-Tech City’. Wow. Look at that,” he adds.
At one moment, while standing in front of the Lal Bagh Botanical Garden in Bengaluru, Mr Nasso also channels Mr Trump’s voice. “We love the Lal Bagh Botanical Garden. They have a lot of trees. And they also have plant and seed and also snail,” he excitedly says. He even quips about pigeons in the area. “I’m at the house of pigeons. Quite frankly, the pigeons have been abandoned by society. They are the stray dogs of the sky,” he adds.
