Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) took a stab at a Donald Trump impersonation during his speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention.

Kaine continually invoked “believe me,” a popular line from Trump’s stump speeches, during his speech. While he didn’t exactly nail the impression, he did draw some laughs from the crowd.

“Trump is a guy who promises a lot, but you might have noticed he’s got a way of saying the same two words every time he makes his biggest, hugest promises,” Kaine mocked. “‘Believe me.’ It’s going to be great, ‘believe me.’ We’re going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, ‘believe me.’ We’re going to destroy ISIS so fast, ‘believe me.’ There’s nothing suspicious in my tax returns, ‘believe me.’
