An Arlington Heights middle schooler from Chicagoland, Jack Aiello, is fastly becoming a web sensation for his astonishingly polished, witty and stand up comic graduation speech which includes impersonations of the 2016 presidential candidates: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

The teen’s entire graduating class were instructed to write a graduation speech as part of an English class assignment, Thomas Middle School principal Brian Kaye told BuzzFeed News.

Teachers and staff reviewed the speeches and picked Aiello as a finalist.

“I knew at that point we had something special,” Kaye said. “We knew he had to give the speech and that he’d bring the house down.”
