I figured out why Trump makes random noises

The demon isn't calling the shots in this Josh Johnson routine. It barely gets a word in.

In "I figured out why Trump makes random noises," Johnson imitates Donald Trump interrupting a speech with an abrupt choking sound, then carrying on. His comic explanation: something inside is trying to escape. This is a supernatural stand-up premise, not a claim about what caused the noise.

Johnson gives the imagined demon the frustrations of someone whose suggestions are constantly ignored. "You don't ever want to listen to anybody, you're so hard to haunt," he says, turning possession into an exhausting working arrangement.

The Short drew roughly 422,000 views in its first 13 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for the format. It follows Johnson's longer "Obama vs Trump: Rallying vs Rambling" set and a separate clip of his first attempt at an Obama impression, keeping presidential speaking styles at the center of his recent comedy.

But this bit eventually needs more than an impression. Johnson compares the demon's escape attempt to entering a game of Double Dutch: watch the rhythm, choose an opening, commit. He mimes the timing himself, giving an invisible character a very physical problem.
