It takes Donald Rosso four minutes to turn into Donald Trump.

The 63-year-old from London, Ont., is one of several people around the world who work as impersonators of the United States president.

Rosso says his features are so similar to the real deal, he hardly puts in any effort.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 terrific,B次元官网网址� says Rosso, who goes by the stage name Billionaire Donald.

Eleven years younger than the actual Trump, Rosso says heB次元官网网址檚 just an inch shorter and weighs about the same B次元官网网址� 240 pounds. And although his hair is thicker, his natural blond mane can be easily made to look like TrumpB次元官网网址檚 famous comb-over.

B次元官网网址淢y hands are just significantly bigger,B次元官网网址� Rosso adds with a laugh.

About four years ago, Rosso sold some juice bars he owned in Canada and was living in Mexico with his wife when he got into a bad motorcycle accident.

He says when money began getting tight, he woke up one morning with one of the most magnificent, terrific and greatest ideas he has ever had.

B次元官网网址淲e hung up sheets in the bathroom, and I gave a camera to my wife and she started taking pictures and put them on this website.

B次元官网网址淎nd I became Billionaire Donald.B次元官网网址�

About a month later, Rosso got a call from New York to be in a parody movie of the 1988 hit B次元官网网址淏igB次元官网网址� starring Tom Hanks.

The movie was called B次元官网网址淵uge.B次元官网网址�

From there, he says, his career took off.

He made an appearance in NetflixB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淗ouse of Cards.B次元官网网址�

And he has been all over the United States attending Trump rallies, Republican conventions and even a ValentineB次元官网网址檚 dinner in Detroit, where he met adult film actress Stormy Daniels just as she filed a lawsuit against Trump.

B次元官网网址淯nfortunately, I was unable to take a picture with her because of those lawsuits.B次元官网网址�

The lead-up to TuesdayB次元官网网址檚 U.S. election would have been even busier for Rosso had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of the Canada-U. S. border.

B次元官网网址淢y work is primarily in the United States, like 99 per cent,B次元官网网址� Rosso says. B次元官网网址淭his virus has wiped me out.B次元官网网址�

He says he has had to decline a lot of offers and is mostly attending events as Trump virtually.

B次元官网网址淗onest to God, itB次元官网网址檚 very disappointing for me. IB次元官网网址檝e worked the last three years for this year. I have turned down so many jobs and it breaks my heart.B次元官网网址�

Rosso says there isnB次元官网网址檛 much work for him to pose as Trump in Canada, because Canadians donB次元官网网址檛 like the president as much as his followers in the U.S. do.

B次元官网网址淚 did a gig in Toronto, for example, but years ago. And I made people really angry. People in Toronto hate Trump.B次元官网网址�

Rosso says heB次元官网网址檚 a Trump fan and would vote for him if he were an American citizen. He says he hopes Trump is re-elected and, once the border reopens, Rosso will be back in business.

B次元官网网址淚 like that I entertain people and I like that I get to stay at some pretty swanky hotels and eat at some swanky restaurants.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e been in every kind of limousine in the world, and I get to travel.B次元官网网址�

And unlike term limits on U.S. presidents, Rosso wants to keep impersonating Trump for as long as he can.

B次元官网网址淥ne day, IB次元官网网址檒l meet Mr. Trump, or even Trump Jr., and keep going. But it would be very, very helpful if this virus was to end.B次元官网网址�
