Nepal has its own Donald Trump

Nepali stand-up comedian Manoj Gajurel has impersonated a lot of people in his long and hilarious career. He is really famous for making the fun of powerful political figures and now he is taking aim at another powerful figure, US President Donald Trump.

Dressed in Trump’s trademark blue suit and red tie and topped with a blond wig, Gajurel struts on stage where his Trump clashes with a prominent Nepali journalist known for asking outlandish questions.

Gajurel has been studying Trump’s mannerisms for over two years, watching YouTube videos to perfect his swagger and voice but in order to truly embody Trump, Gajurel had to change his teeth.

“This is the fake media,” Gajurel shouts in an American drawl that still has a hint of his native Nepali, to applause and laughter from the audience.
