CHICAGO (KABC) -- An eighth-grader nailed his graduation speech, getting "yuge" laughs with his impersonation of Donald Trump along with other 2016 presidential candidates.

Jack Aiello left everyone laughing over his spot-on political impressions during his eight-minute speech at his graduation on June 7 from Thomas Middle School in the Chicago area.

Jack started off with Donald Trump, then moved on to Ted Cruz. He also included President Barack Obama Hillary Clinton.

The 14-year-old ended his bit with an impression of Bernie Sanders, calling for a "cinnamon roll revolution" in the school's cafeteria.
