Donald Trump’s Accent Imitation Draws Confused Looks From International Delegates

President Donald Trump ignited a social media firestorm following an awkward moment during his Asia trip that left international leaders speechless. Over three days, he visited Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, but it was a specific incident at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit that generated extensive online chatter.On October 28, while recognizing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, absent from the summit, Trump praised Modi’s resilience and appearance. Trump remarked, “Prime Minister Modi is the nicest looking guy. He looks like you’d like to have him as a father, tough as hell.” He then imitated Modi using an Indian accent, declaring, “No, we will fight!” before reverting to his regular tone, questioning, “Whoa, is that the same man I know?”The video of Trump’s imitation rapidly circulated, attracting criticism from viewers who labeled it “verbal diarrhea” and expressed embarrassment over the performance. Trump has a history of using impersonations to establish his persona since entering politics in 2015.
