Video: 8th Grader Nails Impressions Of Obama, Trump, Clinton And Sanders

Arlington Heights eight-grader Jack Aiello recently took his graduation speech as an opportunity to show off his skills with impressions—and little dude's not bad. The recent Thomas Middle School grad takes a crack at Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, President Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in the nearly nine-minute clip.

He nails Trump's over-the-top hand gestures and the weird way he pronounces "China," Obama's cadence, Hillary's enthusiasm and Bernie's New York accent. Gotta say, it's better than some of the audition reels we've seen people twice his age send along to Second City and iO.
