In Pakistan, a Trump impersonator sings to promote pudding. A food vendor who, according to locals, looks remarkably like U.S. President-elect Donald Trump attracts more business and attention than others in a busy market in the eastern Punjab province of Pakistan.

Mohammad Yaseen, a local who prefers to purchase the dessert from Saleem Bagga, the impersonator who also sings to attract customers, said that they feel as if Trump has come here to sell kheer (pudding). When he sings to sell kheer, they come down to him, Yaseen stated.
