She is quickly becoming the internet's favourite Donald Trump impersonator but Sarah Cooper does it without saying a word -- preferring to let the president
does it without saying a word -- preferring to let the president she calls her"head writer" do the talking for her.
As the United States negotiates a fraught civil rights reckoning, an election between two aging white men and a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, the videos have gone the right kind of"viral." "Being a black woman, I could never get away with talking like that in a meeting, let alone as president of the United States," she told Vanity Fair.Cooper shot to fame on TikTok and Twitter, where her upstart impersonations garnered millions of likes just as the nation's top comics retreated homeward to film their shows from basements and living rooms, putting her production values on par with theirs.
That video instantly made her the high priestess of what has come to be known as front-facing camera comedy, a new-ish genre of lo-fi sketches using the front-facing camera of a cell phone. The topics aren't new terrain for Cooper, who had already written two books --"100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings" and"How to be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings."The videos have earned Cooper more than 1.9 million Twitter followers — a veritable who's who of Hollywood types, politicians and influencers, from former president Barack Obama to comedians Steve Martin and Ellen DeGeneres, as well as"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
