24. Roy Wood Jr.

Dressed as the formerApprenticehost , Wood does a direct reading ofWaPo’sTrump transcript . The Daily Showcomedian ’s reenactment focuses on the flyspeck - hand segment and is mostly terrific because of its want of attempt . ( Side note : his wigdefinitelylooks leap - load . )

Trumpiest short letter : All of it .

23. Seth Meyers

TheLate Nighthost has walk his Trump out before – notably during his vituperative White House Correspondents Dinner onslaughtfrom 2011 . His might not be the honest , but it ’s always fun to watch within the context of his bit .

Trumpiest line:“Due to a typo , we made America grape again . "

22. George Lopez

As Señor Trumpez , Lopez team up with Funny Or Die to show Americans what Trump ’s nifty wall design would bet like from the other side . The faux Univision interview mistreat many of the Republican ’s political vocation cards in way that providesobering threat , as well as humor . It ’s a shame we ’ll never see a Trump - Trumpez debate .

Trumpiest line:“In that wall , I ’ll put a big door . That big threshold will polish off you on your big American ass when you leave Mexico ! "

21. Kelly Ripa

Ripa’simpression is n’t stiff , but her look merit quotation . If anotherAustin Powerssequel ever arrives , the producers will need to get the talk - show host to play The Donald ’s Mini - Me .

Trumpiest line:“Have you find out the shelter I built ? It ’s the big shelter , most beautiful shelter inSurvivorhistory . It ’s drop - dead gorgeous ! "

20. Kenji Lee

The part might fathom like Christian Bale as the Trump Knight , but the construct behind this send - up is what makes Lee ’s turn so killer . His costume also has winning supercilium . ( Morehere . )

Trumpiest line:“I have it off Muslim citizenry – just as long as I have their address . "

19. Stephen Colbert

best or stereotypical New Yorker trying to be Trump ? The latter , in all probability . Physically , Colbert ’s does n’t struggle with many impressions here . But nobody lampoons a theme or person with the same conceptual and intellectual energy as theLate Showhost . ( Bonus : here ’s Colbert mocking Trump as a " Difference Maker . " )

Trumpiest line:“I’m really rich , and I ’m not ashamed of it . I ’ll say that to anybody . I ’ll say that to anybody but the IRS . And permit me see to it you – unlike President Obama – I would have defeated fictional robo - Hitler . "

17. Vincent Vuoto

Vuoto takes theBilly Crystal - magazineapproach here . The results are special .

Trumpiest line:“Next meter the Pope really want to call me out , I recall that the Pope should come over to Trump Tower and challenge me to an arm - wrestling competition , and I think I ’d whup him . "

16. Jack Aiello

Not only does this 8th - grade alum have a fairly convincing Trump , he also wields an impressive Ted Cruz , Barack Obama , Hillary Clinton , and Bernie Sanders .

Trumpiest line:“I took Spanish , and let me just order you , by the way , that it was wild . Muy fantastico . "

15. Meryl Streep

When Streepsurprised the Delacorte Theater with her Trump , itplayedas more of a caricature than an impersonation . But that does n’t mean the extra - recollective tie , splotchy orange aspect , deflated pompadour , and belly bulge were n’t apprise .

Trumpiest line:“You’ll have me know , why it is all the cleaning woman say no . "

14. Ben Price

This comic ’s meter is a little gawky , but the commitment to the antic and look , including the off - center of attention tie , offers flock in the elbow room of salvation .

Trumpiest line:“Sometimes [ on-line television ] take ages to buffer . It ’s like a direction wheel down my drawers , it drives me nutty . "

13. John Miller’s return

Hmm .

Trumpiest line:“He gets called by everyone in the book , in term of woman . "

12. Kyle Dunnigan

Dunnigan ’s is a little nasally , but the rhythmic rule and vocabulary are top notch . Also , incentive item for being extra offensive without being off - base , and for sneak in a couple third - individual references .

Trumpiest line:“Even if Trump was captured [ in Vietnam ] – it would n’t happen – but let ’s say I was , I would ’ve negotiate my way out of there in two seconds . And then I would ’ve build the most voluptuous , antic hotel gambling casino . "

11. Eric Harthen

As far as voice - work is concerned , it ’s ruffianly to beatHarthen . His Bill Clinton is near flawless , too – even HRC bed him .

Trumpiest line:“Our plan is total together perfectly , trust me . Soon the Republican party will go off and you ’ll be the next president of the United States . "

10. Mike O’Gorman

This Trump proves it would in fact be possible for the man of affairs to playFIFA –and still gesticulate with controller in hand . The rhodomontade and insensitivity are also present . But my favourite part about this vid , from online association football communitytheFC , is O’Gorman ’s shoulder oeuvre . As R. Kelly once said , Bounce , bounce , bounce , bounce .

Trumpiest line:“I’m gon na go with the good ole ' US of A. I mean , I have to adopt that the US is the best squad . "

9. Johnny Depp

Depp undergo an prize - desirable shift to pull off the faux biopic , The Art of the tidy sum : The Movie . Unfortunately , the actual impersonation dip into something like a robotlike Christopher Walken from time to time , making him fall brusk of the other heavyweights on this inclination .

Trumpiest line:“Can somebody remove Ivana from the set , because she ’s killin ' me ? "

8. Frank Caliendo

Caliendo ’s situational creativity is nonpareil . The rest of hisvideo archive– which includes clips of his Trump in " David After Dentist " and Chewbacca parodies – is well worth a gander .

Trumpiest line:“We billionaires are being tired of treated like millionaire . Enough is enough . "

7. Taran Killam

The best part about Killam ’s Trump might also be his fall : the gross but prolonged facial expressions .

Trumpiest line:“Talk about foreign policy experience . We ’ve get under one’s skin the same interior designer as Saddam Hussein . "

6. Dana Carvey

Unsurprisingly , planet Earth ’s nonmigratory impression senseidoes a solid Trump ; he just loses control sometimes . ( And why not ? ) As he tell Jimmy Fallon last class , when it comes to ape the Republican nominee , " Trump is too awesome , he ’s too much fun . " Especially when you have the hand gesture down the manner he does . Throw Carvey in right costume and make-up and he ’d be a serious competitor for No . 1 on this list .

Trumpiest line:“Your nukes are loser nukes . … And by the means , I do n’t mind a little radiation . "

5. Jimmy Fallon

The Tonight Showhost ’s impression is the tidiest . As you ’ll see above , the vocal check , gestures , catchphrase , lips , posture , coup d’oeil , tempo , and costume are pitch consummate . Fallon , however , can often err on the side of adopting too much goofiness , make up him seem more like a motley fool than a politician .

Trumpiest line:“Thank me . We ’re gon na win big , we ’re gon na win big . give thanks me . "

4. Darrell Hammond

Hammond nails his Trump consistently . What ’s most striking , ab initio , is always the similarity in physicality . As his sketches continue to unspool , not much else is lacking either – though Hammond ’s image does come off as slightly too dignified .

Trumpiest line:“Debates are stupid , you should be pay off me , and Wolf Blitzer look like Papa Smurf . "

3. John Di Domenico

Di Domenico essentiallywrotethe Christian Bible on how to be Trump . His human relationship with the part reach back to 2004 , when he recorded a voiceover for anApprentice - themed plot at Trump Taj Mahal . The entertainer has since mastered the impersonation , show off a spot - on accent , vocabulary , $ 4,000 tailor - made wigging , and arsenal of motion . You might make love Di Domenico from his appearance onConan , Red Eyeon Fox News , or Slate’sTrumpcast . If not , now ’s the sentence .

Trumpiest line:“I utterly get laid Iowa . It ’s a grand position , and I ’m gon na likely buy a farm there . "

2. Alec Baldwin

SNLhas give us no dearth of convincing Trumps , but Baldwin ’s is the show ’s well . The peculiar pronunciation of " China , " the sniffing , the illusion and shamelessness , the scowl – his work thus far has beenso perfect it ’s scary . The good part is viewers canexpect much morethis season . ( Thanks , Lorne . )

Trumpiest line:“I profoundly apple - gize … to all the citizenry who were offended by my statements , but more significantly to the masses who were turned on by them – I hear it ’s really 50 - 50 . "

1. Anthony Atamanuik

Atamanuik is the closest thing we have to a true horn clone . ( Admire that podium stance . ) The above@midnightdebate , which runs about 42 bit , is not only a virtuosic showing of apery and endurance , it ’s also comedic activism at its o.k. – the sort that go beyond recycle viral speech sound snack . As AtamanuiktoldCNN in the first place this year , " I require to take everything Trump said and bring it to its final item . So when he ’s blab out about immigrants , I need to take it even further to show people what he’sreallytalking about . "

Trumpiest line:“Apparently , snowy king has been running this country for 350 years – I had no melodic theme . "
