Guy not only nails McConnell's voice but also did the turtle impression spot on

[LadyAtheOnly]

I had my head down writing and looked up too quick like what!?!😳🤣😁 Dead on impressions, esp rump!😂😂😂

[signalfire]

We need a national road tour of RANDY RAINBOW AND FRIEND.

I'm not American, and U.S politics is entertainment as Matt points out. Well it can be, at times, especially for the rest of the world.. Matt is spot on. I closed my eyes and I could hear the actual real people he was imitating! Amazing. Cheers

[michaeljames]

Incredible, Mr. Friend! That was just incredible! 🎉🎉🎉

[michelebella]

Holy crap, this guy really sounds like Trump. I looked away from my phone and didn’t realize that it was someone doing an impression. He’s good!

[cindyherbold]

Spot on impersonations of all!! Thank you for this. A bid of sane insanity mocking. Cudos Matt Friend ❤

[moonbladem]

OMG his Trump and McConnell impressions sounded like them! Awesome! 👍

[ralphus]

This guy might be the best Trump impressionist I've ever heard. He was SPOT ON!

[calinasagilitypartner]

PLEASE HAVE MATT FRIEND BACK! I'M LAUGHING SO HARD I'M IN TEARS!

[LoudlabsNYC]

As someone who loves doing impressions i found this hilarious

[Geneva]

Close your eyes! That’s the best Mitch McConnell impression ever !! Well, all of them really ! 😂😂😂

[anarchodin]

The McConnell impression is scary accurate.

[SherryEllesson]

This is SO good - I was in the next room getting a cold drink and when Matt started his Trump, I had to come running in because I was sure it was the orange buffoon interrupting the show, somehow. Matt needs to be given the Medal of Freedom!

[davidmalcolm]

Frighteningly accurate. I’d never heard of this fellow before but I’ll certainly be watching for him from now on.

[JusticeFALL-USA]

He's GOT IT, simply hilarious 😊. We need this!

[ExposedRoot]

That is hands down the best Trump impression I have ever heard. The nuances, the breathing, dead on!!

[narcissistwhisperer]

Holycrap. His impressions are super accurate. Bloody hilarious.

[guduleharrisonya]

My goodness! The Trump and the McConnell impressions were so spot-on, it's as if he was vocally cloned from them!

[cleverusername]

It's so fitting that he jumped right into his trump impression by rudely interrupting Ayman 😂
