During Trump’s rally at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, a man sitting in the crowd just behind the president stole the spotlight with a brutal mockery of the president’s exaggerated hand movements.

While the 80-year-old president went on a tangent about his war with Iran, which he called a “skirmish,” the mystery man, wearing a suit and a red tie, put on his best Trump impression.

Almost mirroring Trump’s exact movements, he scrunched his mouth into an O-shape and waved his hands around, rocking his head back and forth as he flawlessly mimicked the president.

The White House did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for comment.

Others in the crowd seated behind Trump did not appear fully engaged during his 74-minute speech. Multiple attendees could be seen having side conversations, looking tired or bored, or just looking down at their phones.

Trump played the hits—ranting about his war on Iran, his Democratic adversaries, and railing against alleged “communists” inside the country, even saying that they want to “blow up” Mount Rushmore.

Wednesday’s rally followed the president’s appearance at a dignified transfer ceremony for four U.S. service members earlier in the day at Dover Air Force Base. The soldiers were killed within the last week as hostilities with Iran have escalated since Trump declared the ceasefire over on July 8.

Three service members: Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, from Texas; First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, from Hawaii; and Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of New York, were killed in a drone strike in Jordan. Another soldier, Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of North Carolina, was killed during a “controlled detonation” of an Iranian drone on Sunday in Iraq.

The geriatric president gave a confusing response to reporters when asked about the deaths, saying, “All I’m going to say is we love you, we love your child, and that’s what they are to them, they’re their children.”

“There’s no games, no nothing that’s their child and, er, all you can do is throw out your heart,” he added.

Trump’s bizarre secret nuclear giveaway with Saudi Arabia is leaked

Self-styled “Dealmaker-in-Chief” Donald Trump plans to enter a pact with Saudi Arabia that could allow the repressive kingdom to develop nuclear weapons. Trump, 80, intends to announce and sign the deal to boost the country’s nascent nuclear program—with no concessions to the U.S.—on Wednesday. Such an agreement has been under discussion for years, but the idea had always been to force Saudi Arabia’s hand in return.
