Talented 8th Grader Hilariously Impersonates Presidential Candidates During Graduation Speech

Jack Aiello, a very funny 8th grader at Thomas Middle School in the Chicago area, used his talent for impression, his humor and his interest in politics to deliver a hilarious graduation speech that incorporated spot-on impressions of such candidates for President as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Aiello also included a bit as President Obama. John Aiello spoke about his son’s creativity in an interview with ABC News.

Politics has been something he’s been interested in for several years…He’s always been good with impressions, so while watching along with his mom and I, he picked up phrases and mannerisms of the candidates. …He started with impressions of his parents of course,” John said. “He then moved on to teachers at school and it developed to the point where he’s very good at picking up mannerisms and tones.
