Priest at RNC gives Donald Trump impression before leading prayer
Rev. James A. Roemke of Messiah Lutheran Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin, offered up his best impression of former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Before a Wisconsin pastor gave a benediction at the Republican National Convention Monday night, he delivered one heck of a Donald Trump impression — in front of the former president himself.
“It’s a great pleasure to be here,” Rev. James A. Roemke of Kenosha’s Messiah Lutheran Church addressed the crowd from Fiserv Forum’s stage. “A great pleasure to see President Donald Trump safe.”
The audience clapped as a touched Trump appeared to say “thank you.”
An assassination attempt was made on Trump Saturday at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear. Monday at the RNC in Milwaukee marked Trump’s first public appearance since.
“If I may before the benediction, give you this promise,” Roemke continued.
Then, the pastor switched into a Trump-sounding voice complete with Trump-like hand gestures and facial expressions.
“You’re going to be so blessed,” Roemke said. “You’re going to be tired of being blessed. I guarantee it … Believe me.”
Was Trump amused? He flashed a big smile and applauded as the crowd cheered.
