In a viral Instagram video, comedian Austin Nasso brings Donald Trump to life with a playful impersonation, showcasing the former US president's imagined reactions to the sights of India. Mimicking Trump’s distinctive voice and expressions, Nasso takes a comedic tour through some classic Indian quirks, leaving social media users thoroughly entertained. 

The clip opens with Nasso, as Trump, marvelling at the country’s iconic tuk-tuks, expressing mock amazement at their tiny, almost “Lego-like” size. “It’s incredible,” he declares, “they’ve got tuk-tuks and tiny trucks. They’re so tiny, like Legos,” he says, exaggerating his impersonation of Trump’s voice.

Trump on Indian cuisine and ‘Sci-fi’ city names

The impersonation takes a fun twist as the comedian comments on India’s culinary diversity, claiming, “They have the most incredible cuisine we’ve ever seen. We love to see it.” He then jokes about India’s futuristic city names, saying, “Wow, look at that – their cities have sci-fi names. ‘High-Tec City.’ Wow, that’s something.”

Later in the clip, Nasso stands outside Bengaluru’s famed Lalbagh Botanical Garden, speaking in Trump’s voice. “We love the Lalbagh Botanical Garden. They have a lot of trees, plants, seeds, and even a snail,” he says excitedly. He adds a quirky observation about the pigeons nearby, calling them “the stray dogs of the sky” and joking about how pigeons have been abandoned by society.

Fans praise spot-on Trump impersonation

The video, shared on November 2, has gained over 462,000 views and 30,400 likes.

Several users suggested future ideas for Nasso, with one commenting, “Can you make a skit of Trump trying spicy street food in India for the first time?” Another simply wrote, “Stray dogs of the sky,” quoting the comedian’s line on pigeons.
