A Donald Trump impersonator from Southampton is set to hang up his wig at the end of the president's time in office after his busiest year on record set him up for retirement.

Comedian Mike Osman, 65, has said demand for his services as “Donald Trumped” increased by between 30 and 40 per cent since Trump was re-elected.

The comic said he was not surprised by Trump’s re-election and while he chooses to refrain from politics he is appreciative of Trump providing him with the income to allow him to retire.

He said: “The day after Trump was elected my phone did not stop.

“The job total has probably gone up 30 per cent or 40 per cent since he was elected - this will be my busiest year, no question.”

“I knew he’d win and he won in a huge way, taking all the swing states, and he’s got himself a mandate to do whatever he wants.

“He’s given me another four years of work and then I’m going to retire – that’s my plan.”

Mike said there has been a particular interest in personalised messages in recent months, which people can request from his website.

As Trump, Mike has to ensure he replicates his alter-ego’s signature look to a tee – which has proved to be slightly tricky in recent weeks due to the President sporting a new hairdo.

He added: “In the last two weeks, his hairstyle has changed dramatically.

“Gone is that big peak of a cap and he’s now got a huge quiff on the left-hand side and then it sweeps down to his right eye.

“We had the wig completely restyled and refreshed because you’ve got to look like him.”

Mike added: “I just slap on the matte foundation with a brush and then use a lighter colour around the eyes,” he added.

“Then I’ll use a bit of the Mac over the top of it to slightly darken it.

“When I’m Trump, I’m Trump – every mannerism, every look, every eye movement, the shape of his mouth, the fingers, the gestures.”
