Chicagoans is a first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford. This week’s Chicagoan is Dennis Alan, 67, the Ultimate Donald Trump Lookalike.
Impersonating Trump has changed my life in that among people who knew me before this, I have become kind of a celebrity. It’s kind of the thing where if you are overweight and then you become thin, your relationships with all the people in your life will change. Up to that time, you were the fat person in their life. Whereas before this happened with Trump, I was just a schmo. As a matter of fact, when I go out and socialize now, I avoid making it known that I do this. Maybe somebody who has craved this sort of thing their whole life would bask in the attention, but I don’t feel that way about it.
