"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". Not when it's a president it isn't. Which comedian has done the BEST JOB ridiculing a prez?

Well Alex Baldwin is great at imitating deadhead. Masterful job. WAY WAY WAY WAY better than the original

Dana Carvey as George H.W. Bush...."it wouldn't be prudent" brings a smile to my face and my memory

Rich Little was a great impersonator of everyone but I don't recall any specific takeoffs on presidents. Do you?

Tina Fey killed Sarah Palin. She was so very good at it. No one could take Sarah seriously ever after thereafter. Not a prez but a veep and a prez hopeful. Pretty little Sarah who gave Alaskans $4.95 for each wolf paw they turned in to her office. Creative. Ya gotta give her that.

Who else? Oh didn't Melissa McCarthy do a splendid takeoff of Sean Spicer...I know, not a prez but a killer representation of a sorta kinda pol a**kisser sucker upper liar

    Alec Baldwin is the best - hands down!!

    I believe Rich Little did Reagan as well as Nixon in his later years.

    SNL has had a lot of presidential impressions over the years (Phil Hartman did Reagan and Clinton).

    I wonder what our world would be like without comedians? I'm gonna ask. It would be a lot drearier fer shure. I think Alec should win a Nobel Prize for the best impersonation of anyone ever! That would really frost Impeached wouldn't it? Thank you for your reply Shuhak! :)

    How did Mr. Baldwin put it?  "To imitate trumps mouth he just acted like he was sucking chrome off a bumper".  Classic!

    I believe little boy trump got mad at My Baldwin's impression of him. (waah!  You stop that or I'm going to call you names!)

    Impotus impeached deadhead wishes he had a fingernail's worth of talent like Alec Baldwin. Thank you for your reply Shuhak. The constant smirk twisted face demonic sneer all the better to service his adoring worshippers m'dear. They are so happy with anything he throws their way. His plate crumbs. Anything. :)
