In the realm of political comedy, few have made as significant an impact as comedian Lisa Green, whose spot-on impressions of former President Donald Trump have captivated audiences across social media platforms. Many might remember Alec Baldwin’s iconic performance on Saturday Night Live, but Green’s unique take on Trump’s absurdities has emerged as a strong contender.
Green has taken a satirical approach to Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, utilizing lip-synced TikTok videos to highlight some of his most outlandish statements. In addition to mimicking Trump, she also portrays characters like Dr. Byrd, showcasing their likely reactions during press briefings, which adds another layer of humor to her performances.
Each of her videos cleverly captures Trump’s most memorable (and often cringe-worthy) remarks about the pandemic. Since posting her comedic snippets on TikTok and Twitter, Green has garnered attention from notable figures in comedy, such as Nick Frost and Mindy Kaling, amplifying her reach.
From Trump’s claims regarding hydroxychloroquine to his baffling explanations of “per capita,” Green has tackled it all, making us laugh at moments that would otherwise leave us in disbelief. A writer and performer, she humorously refers to herself as “#blockedbytrump” and has authored two books, including 101 Ways to Look Smart in Meetings and How to Succeed Without Offending Men.
Despite her years of stand-up experience, Green recently expressed her initial hesitation about the viral nature of her content, questioning whether it was fair that she hadn’t crafted the material herself. “I’m experiencing a bit of impostor syndrome,” she shared. “It feels strange to go viral for something that took very little time to create.” Ultimately, she credits her years of honing her craft as the reason her impressions resonate so well.
After her first TikTok video gained traction, Green shared it on Twitter, leading to an outpouring of support and prompting her to produce additional content. The essence of her humor lies in stripping away the formalities of the podium and the presidential seal, allowing Trump’s words to sound even more ridiculous coming from her. “Without all the presidential decorum, those words become even more absurd,” she explained.
