On Thursday's Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon donned his Donald Trump outfit and made "a very big announcement" from behind his Trump podium. "A lot of people have been speculating about who I'm going to pick as my running mate," Fallon's Trump said: "Chris Christie? LeBron James? Chewbacca Mom? All good choices, but no. The only person good enough to be my vice president is me. That's why, 14 years ago, I created a clone of myself. He just graduated from the eighth grade, and he's here tonight — he's just fantastic." That was the cue for Little Donald, a real eighth grader named Jack Aiello, who got a chance not just to impersonate Donald Trump but also Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Too bad he's ineligible to be vice president for another 20 years. Watch the talented kid show his stuff below. Peter Weber
