A few days ago, Michelle Obama won the internet by imitating her husband, the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Now, she is getting competition from a rather unlikely source.
The Dalai Lama – appearing on Good Morning Britain – gave the world his version of Republican nominee Donald Trump. Even though he has never met Trump, and, when asked what he thinks of him, says, "I don't know," the Dalai Lama has kept himself up to date with the Presidential candidate's antics. He made fun of Trump's orange hairdo and, with his mouth puckered, made clicking sounds to imitate the Republican nominee's "small" mouth which is constantly sounding off on things.
The mimicry received compliments from Piers Morgan, the host of the show, and American television talk show host Stephen Colbert, who was surprised at the Dalai Lama's dislike of Trump, "I thought Trump would have an affinity with Buddhists," Colbert said. "I thought Buddhists would really love Trump because if he gets the nuclear codes, we may all achieve nothingness."
