This clever Trump press conference parody hits the nail on the head
Watch Next

Trump doesn't appear to have an earpiece in during his press conferences, but can you imagine if he did? Can you imagine what the person on the other end might be yelling, as the president proceeded to ramble on about how the coronavirus pandemic would simply "disappear by April"?

Well, now you don't have to imagine. In the clip above from The Late Late show, James Corden introduces British comedian Michael Spicer, who plays the part of Trump's frustrated new press conference advisor.

Spicer nails the role, but it's worth noting he's had practice — his "room next door man" character is already something of a Twitter celebrity, and has been used to parody the likes of Trump and Boris Johnson before.
