“I honestly really like doing them all,” Aiello said. “They all have unique mannerisms that … you know he [Trump] has got the hands like this. He’s got this one right there that I can tell you.”
Fallon joked that he had to take notes, because Aiello did a better Trump impression than him.
“You know Hillary Clinton has the fists like this and she escalates throughout the sentence,” he added.
“You know Bernie Sanders has the hands out in front of him, and he has the wandering finger that goes off like that and like this,” he continued.
