He’s swimming in talent. Jack Aiello, an eighth grader, does a very impressive job of impersonating the 2016 presidential candidates for his graduation speech. He begins by briefly introducing himself:
Hello everyone,
I decided since we're in the middle of an election that I would do my graduation speech in the style of some of the 2016 presidential candidates, along with President Obama.
And he begins with Donald Trump:
Hello,
And congratulations! You are now getting to hear a speech from the magnificent Donald Trump. And let me just tell you, Thomas has been such a great school, I mean, quite frankly, it’s just fantastic!
We’re learning languages from Spain from France from Germany and CHINA. And people say I don’t like China — I LOVE China. I love China. I have so many terrific friends in China!
He goes on to imitate Ted Cruz, President Obama, Hillary Clinton and he does a fine job. They’re all very good. But when it comes to Bernie Sanders—spot on. He starts Sanders at the end of his Clinton impression when she says,
“I know that Senator Sanders agrees with me…”
Yes, I DOH agree with the Secretary! And hello!
Thank you for allowing me to speak to “YOH” tonight! Let me start with the lunches. There are delicious! Things like pizza and tacos and chips. You name it! And some of the best cinnamon rolls, I’ve ever tasted. I do have one improvement for them. We need to make them FREE. Why should students have to pay for their own cinnamon rolls — it doesn't make any sense! What we need is a Cinnamon Roll Revolution!
Sure breaks up what could have been a tortuous graduation ceremony. Here is the YouTube video of Jack Aiello and his 2016 political imitations:
Viewing tip, If you can enlarge your screen it’s much easier to see. There are other versions on YouTube are very out of focus and the camera bounces around quite a bit. If a better version turns up, this one will be replaced. Thanks and enjoy!
I imagine each person who watches will have their favorite. And it’s worth watching from beginning to end (it goes by fast), as the text doesn’t come close to matching his expressions, hand gestures, and voice inflections. He’s delightful, and he manages to give kudos to the school, the principal, the teachers and fellow students as well. Cheers, Jack Aiello. We’ll see you big screen and on the big stage.
