    Jeet Heer Retweeted Sarah Cooper

    1. Like everyone else, I love Sarah Cooper's Trump lip-sync feats. I think one reason they work is that they don't try to exaggerate Trump but rather to underscore the absurdity of his own words.https://twitter.com/sarahcpr/status/1253474772702429189 …

        2. An Alec Baldwin impersonation tries to parody Trump - but you can't parody a parody. Trump's own words are usually much greater gibberish than anything SNL writers come up with. So the effect of Baldwin is, in a strange way, to normalize Trump.

        3. The other normalization occurs in the briefings & media reports. Everyone around Trump is straightfaced even when he says whackadoodle things, thus normalizing him. And press quotes tend to tidy-up Trump's frequent wayward turns and incoherence.

        Agree - what @sarahcpr does is almost like staring directly into #DonaldTrump's id.

        right, and her expressions emphasize what gets lost by just reading transcripts- perfectly timed darting eyes, raised eyebrows, smirks, etc. He’s just fucking winging it, all the god damn time.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        It will be interesting to see how Sarah Cooper evolves beyond the Trump videos, which are epic, but they can't define her career. Vast majority of people don't even know what her own voice or personality is like. As a comedian, seems like those two things are everything?

        The best comedians know that you have to let the material speak for itself. No reason to over engineer it.
