Jamie Foxx has been seen on camera pulling off a shockingly good Donald Trump impression.
The 54-year-old, an Oscar-winning actor, comedian, and singer, was in a hotel room conducting an interview with rapper Snoop Dogg for The Rap Radar Podcast to promote their new Netflix film Day Shift when he abruptly swerved into the imitation, much to the surprise and amusement of those around him.
Foxx’s impersonation of Trump sounds very similar to the actual thing, including Trump’s inflection and cadence.
Foxx makes a reference to the incident in 2017 when Trump stood up for neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, to start off his joke.
He exclaims, “There are tonnes of nice individuals on both sides, lots of fantastic people,” causing the whole audience to break out in laughter.
“I know Harry-O, and he’s a wonderful man.” When Michael “Harry-O” Harris, a co-founder of Death Row Records, is out of office, he will be able to vote for me, Foxx said.
Harris received a jail sentence in 1988 for abduction and attempted murder. He has a significant history with the LA drug scene.
He worked as a business advisor while incarcerated and was granted a pardon by Trump soon before taking office in 2021.
Foxx proceeded in Trump’s unique voice, capturing his New York accent and gravelly tone, saying, “I adore Snoop D-O-Double G.”
Then Foxx delivered a handful of memorable Trump quotes: “Excuse me! I’m sorry. False news, he said.
“They attempted to spread the infection.” I defeated the infection. He cried out, much to the amusement of everyone there.
Twitter fans hailed Foxx’s portrayal of the 45th president as his greatest to date.
Stephan wrote, “Ok, coffee is now flowing out of my nose.”
Deto Ladi tweeted, “You know Trump is going to write at 5AM saying he’s never truly felt Jamie Foxx is talented.”
Jamie is excellent, but this is the finest Trump imitation I’ve ever heard, said Jazmyne.
The finest Trump imitation I’ve ever heard, in my opinion. Is there anything @iamjamiefoxx isn’t talented at? Chase Schleich said, “The next thing we know, he’ll be spotted juggling and cooking like a professional chef.”
It’s incredible, Trump has never been better represented than he is now, and he pulls it off with ease. What a brilliant guy he is, Harmony remarked.
Another person said, “Foxx is one incredibly brilliant dude.”
“This is by far the greatest I have heard,” I said. Because the accent is not a “goof,” but rather an accurate mimic, the humour lies in what Jamie says. Wow,” Dan Delgardo said.
Rob said, “Hearing the audio without the video—couldn’t tell the difference.”
The human race is a goddamn legend! If I hadn’t recognised Jamie Foxx, I could have thought it was Donald Trump. Senjutsu Sage wrote, “This is very likely the only time I’ll hear Trump talk and have this large a grin on my face.”
“Well done…
OMG…when he sees a black guy expertly portraying him, I can only image how red Trump’s face would be, and I guarantee his hair would also be a complete disaster.
Burgers would fly everywhere! I adore it. tweets from G. Hansen The finest Donald Trump imitation I’ve ever heard is by Jamie Foxx. Amazing,” said De Leon.
Wow, David Weissman said, “That’s an outstanding impression.”
One of them said, “I can’t stop watching this; it’s so fantastic.” Another person said, “Did not expect this to be so great.”
That guy is very gifted, Jamie Starr stated.
Nava Bromberger put it up best: “That was the finest T impersonation I’ve seen yet.”
During his administration, there were several Trump impersonations on television and in social media, with Alec Baldwin, Dana Carvey, and James Austin Johnson all doing believable impersonations.
