The Dalai Lama has delighted the world with his response to a question about his views on Donald Trump – with an uncanny impression of the Republican nominee.
While speaking to Piers Morgan on ITVs Good Morning Britain show on 22 September, the Tibetan spiritual leader was asked what he thinks of Trump. The Dalai Lama responded that while he has never met the GOP nominee, he could do an impression of him – and proceeded to do so.
The Buddhist leader used his hands to impersonate Trumps infamous hair, as well as the way he speaks with his small mouth. Many have since taken to Twitter to compliment the Dalai Lama on his impression, with some labelling it as uncanny.
Although the Dalai Lamas views might differ from Trumps on a number of issues, he admitted that he would be willing to meet him if he was voted to become the next US president. However, during his interview on Good Morning Britain, he chose to keep the conversation on Trump strictly comical and didnt go into the Republicans political views.
This isnt the first time that the Dalai Lama has evaded the question on Trumps politics. Earlier this year, he was asked by ABC about his views on Trump, to which he responded that he could not vote and was only visiting the US for a short time. However, the spiritual leader did hint that he found Trumps personal attacks against his opponents cheap.
The Dalai Lama said: Thats your business. A series discussion about policy matters is useful. But sometimes a little bit personal criticism – that looks a little bit cheap. Thats my view.
