WATCH A Comedian Do A Perfect Trump Impression And Leave CNN’s Jim Acosta In Stitches

Comedian Matt Friend is one of the best political impressionists in the world, and his uncanny knack for imitating the voices of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, and Ron DeSantis has made him a viral social media sensation.

Friend appeared on CNN Christmas Eve, speaking with host Jim Acosta, who has more than a little experience covering what takes place in Washington, D.C., and it didn’t take long before the comedian had Acosta in stitches, starting with his impression of Trump.

“Jim, it’s true. Very true. Excuse me, Jim. What was I supposed to — this is the guy — I yelled at him many times. Such fake news, I’ve yelled at him many times before. It’s a failed network. Look at him smiling like a dog. Ask the question, Jim. Ask the question. Let’s see what you can do, please.”

Laughing, Acosta noted, “I feel like I’m back at the White House, not exactly the feeling I was hoping for.”

Friend continued his impressions, mocking Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, then changing into McConnell and saying nothing, completely frozen.

Near the end of the discussion, Acosta thanked Friend for his time, which led the comedian to transition into his Ted Cruz impersonation:

 “At least I didn’t get a latte and a pencil. The difference is I am not a senator from Texas! I’m a comedian who’s going to go read a book…”

CNN’s Jim Acosta Just Said Exactly What Needed To Be Said About The Failed, One-Term Donald Trump

Failed, one-term former President Donald Trump has always hated CNN and Jim Acosta, who was White House correspondent for the network during the Trump administration. That’s probably because Acosta wasn’t afraid to ask tough questions and CNN didn’t bow down to King Donald the way Fox News did during his four years in office.

Things got so contentious between Trump and Acosta at one point that the former president banned him from the White House altogether, as CNBC reported at the time:

“The White House has suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference.

“They began sparring Wednesday after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern U.S. border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, ‘That’s enough!’ and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.”

Now, however, Acosta has the upper hand, and he used it to verbally slap down Trump for his pathetic attempt at a comeback, with the former president speaking at a Republican meeting in Greeneville, North Carolina on Saturday evening.

Acosta was hosting a news program on CNN prior to Trump’s speech when he perfectly nailed exactly what was taking place including comments Trump made this week that he’d be installed as president as soon as this August. To that, Acosta remarked:

“If Trump really believes he will be back in the White House this August, he should get help. You are not well, sir.”

But that was far from all Acosta had to say, adding:

“Trump’s life is like a country music song. He’s lost the House, he’s lost the Senate, he’s lost the White House, website. If he had a dog, the dog would leave him too.”

Game, set, and match, Jim Acosta.
