As the most powerful man in the country peddled hydroxychloroquine and disinfectant snake oil as cures for the coronavirus, the comedian Sarah Cooper scoured her kitchen cabinet for props, scouted her lockdown apartment for locations and angled her iPhone. The result: a series of lip-sync videos posted on TikTok and Twitter — and viewed by millions.

The viral clips starred her facial expressions and the president’s voice.

But Ms. Cooper’s voice quickly followed. She soon nabbed a headliner spot at the Democratic National Convention. Months later, she’s the star of the celebrity-packed Netflix special “Everything’s Fine.”

Ms. Cooper says, “My success is forever linked to this person that I absolutely hate.” But she hopes that after Nov. 3, she can put Trump behind her.

1. I'm tired of Donald Trump being Donald Trump.

Sarah Cooper's impersonations or whatever you call them are brilliant and hilarious, but I'm looking forward to the day when he will be completely forgotten. Nobody will be impersonating him, satirizing him, cartooning him, photographing him, recording him, interviewing him, or in any other way acknowledging his existence. That might be too much to ask, but I hope at some point (maybe after a trial or two) he falls to the bottom of our collective memory hole, like a repressed memory of a horrible childhood or something.

2. Exhausted yes
