Amy Walker impersonates Trump to empathize with him

President Trump - Empathy - Celebrity Sketch | Amy Walker

Amy Walker is well known for her celebrity impersonation and accent demonstration video. Here, she practices impersonating Trump as an exercise to better understand him. This video fascinated me. I love it when people experiment on their own nervous systems like this.

This is not a parody. It’s an exercise in #CourageousCompassion. Empathy. To understand President Trump from the inside out, that I may know myself better – especially any part of me that I’d not identified with and projected onto him. To see all as equal. As one.

As Meryl Streep said, “We have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy.”
