VIRAL VIDEO: Jamie Foxx Does An Impression Of Donald Trump That’s Absolutely Spot-On

If you’ve seen Jamie Foxx perform live or when he was a member of the “In Living Color” cast, then you already know he’s a master of impressions.

And now Foxx is going viral with a spot-on impression he did of disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump on a podcast with rapper Snoop Dogg to talk about their movie, “Day Shift.”

According to HuffPost, a comment Snoop Dogg made led Foxx to break out his Trump impression:

Snoop told the two podcast hosts about reconnecting with Michael “Harry-O” Harris, a businessman who funded Death Row Records, after Trump pardoned him in 2021.

Harris was released from prison after serving over 30 years for drug trafficking and attempted murder.

Snoop’s mention of the pardon immediately caused his movie co-star to blurt out a voice nearly identical to Trump.

Sure enough, Foxx became Trump for the next minute or so, sounding exactly like the Donald as he said:

“There’s a lot of great people on both sides.

“Lots of great people on both sides. Harry-O, he’s a great person, he couldn’t vote for me at the time now he can vote for me once he gets out.”

Close your eyes as you listen to Foxx’s incredibly impression. It sounds exactly like Trump, doesn’t it?

Twitter quickly lit up with praise for Foxx:

Player In Little League World Series Floats Wild Conspiracy Theory About ESPN Fixing The Game

If you were wondering how much impact the conspiracy theories, half-truths, and lies we see in the political world are having in American culture, consider the case of a 12-year-old pitcher from Iowa whose team is playing in the Little League World Series.

Colin Townsend was on the mound Saturday in a game between Iowa and Washington. He had just walked a batter, putting two runners on base with the potential tying run coming to plate. Two were out and Iowa led 6-3 in the final inning of the game.

Iowa manager Dave McFate walked to the pitcher’s mound to discuss strategy with his pitcher and the infielders when Townsend, according to Mediaite, “channeled his inner Donald Trump” and suggested the umpire was working for ESPN (which is televising the Little League World Series), telling McFate:

“This is for ESPN … It’s for ESPN so they can comeback (sic) … Because ESPN likes this. All ESPN.”

Fortunately, McFate refused to buy into his pitcher’s suggestion, telling him:

“Nothing we can do about that strike call, okay? There’s two outs … We gotta shake that, we gotta shake that.”

The manager then added:

“Hey, focus right here. Focus right here on me. Shake it. Shake it, okay? We need one out … let’s go, you can do this. You can do this. You can do this.”

Iowa went on to win the game over Washington, 6-3, and then bested Utah Sunday by a score of 10-2.

VIRAL VIDEO: ‘Joe Biden’ Dances To Celebrate Recent Victories

President Joe Biden has been on a roll recently, chalking up major legislative victories, watching as each monthly jobs report shows record gains, and carefully steering the American economy through inflation, which seems to be abating.

All of the good news for the Biden administration has translated into higher approval ratings for him and new polling that shows Democrats may well keep control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections.

How should the president celebrate so much good news? Well, how about by dancing?

Newsweek notes that Biden is indeed dancing (sort of), and a video of his face superimposed on that of the actor Christopher Walken has quickly gone viral:

The video, posted on Twitter by a user called “CHUNK”, parodies the famous 2000 Fatboy Slim “Weapon Of Choice” music video.

In the original Christopher Walken is seen dancing around an empty hotel to music from British singer Norman Quentin Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim.

For the parody video Walken’s head has been replaced by Biden’s, while text pops up during the video listing what its maker perceives as the president’s successes in office.

Many social media users were delighted to see the Biden video, while right-wingers were probably losing their tiny minds in response.

Congress GOP

Lauren Boebert Gets Reprimanded By House Democrat For Her ‘Fabricated’ Rant About The IRS

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got taken to the proverbial woodshed Friday during debate on legislation that would deal with climate change and taxation after Boebert began spinning wild conspiracy theories and lies about the bill in question.

During her speech on the House floor regarding the Inflation Reduction Act, Boebert incorrectly asserted that Democrats were intent on “making the IRS, with armed agents, larger than the Pentagon.”

She added:

“This bill hires 87,000 new IRS agents and they are armed and the job description tells them that they need to be required to carry a firearm and expect to use deadly force if necessary!”

But as the Washington Post reports, Boebert and many of her GOP colleagues are lying about the bill:

Natasha Sarin, Treasury counselor for tax policy and implementation, told The Fact Checker that over half of the IRS staff — 50,000 — is eligible for retirement in the next five years. Much of the funding for new employees will be focused on mitigating that attrition and adding customer service and information technology specialists in addition to enforcement agents. The agency has also lost about 40 percent of the agency staff who specialize in complex tax audits, bringing it to the level of the agency in World War II, she said.

In any case, the 87,000 figure is wildly exaggerated. These people are not all new tax agents.

Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky also laid an instant fact-check and reprimand on Boebert:

“I will say in response to the gentlewoman from Colorado, this is typical of what the Republicans are doing. First of all, they’re making up numbers. There’s nowhere anywhere that says 87,000 new IRS agents will be hired in this bill. That’s a totally fabricated number. And the idea that they’re armed — I know Mrs. Boebert would like everyone to be armed as they are in her restaurant, but that’s not what IRS agents do. I would implore my Republican colleagues to… cut out the scare tactics.”

WATCH: Trump Has No Idea What To Do As ‘God Bless America’ Is Sung At Golf Tournament

Disgraced one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump loves to pretend he’s a great patriot despite the fact that when his country needed him to serve in Vietnam, he had a doctor allegedly concoct a fake illness for him: Bone spurs in one (or was it both? Even Trump doesn’t recall) of his feet.

Despite Donald’s obvious cowardice, he absolutely loves to wrap himself in the flag, hug the flag, and proclaim what a great American he is.

And yet, when it comes time to play act his role as a pretend patriot, Trump has repeatedly fouled things up, such as this embarrassing display at a Super Bowl party in 2020:

There was also Trump’s bad behavior at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day 2017, as NDTV reported at the time:

But it was what he did during the national anthem that earned him flak on social media. The president, looking surprisingly cheerful, swayed back and forth and tapped his chest while singing the Star Spangled Banner during the opening ceremony, something which Twitter deemed highly inappropriate for the somber occasion.

You can now add a new humiliation to the Donald’s fake patriotism.

This one took place at Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey, where the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Tournament is being held and where Donnie was filmed not knowing what in the hell to do while “God Bless America” was sung. Take a look:

Notice how Trump starts just watching the guy sing. Then he realizes he might need to put his hand over his heart. But wait, shouldn’t he take off his cap? He does. And now hand over heart? Hey, can’t hurt, especially since the MAGA morons are big on bogus patriotism. They think it’s copacetic to storm the Capitol and crap in Congressional offices, but God forbid someone kneel during the National Anthem!

Donald Trump is a fake. He hates this country, hates his moronic followers, and hates everyone else with the exception of himself. That’s what makes him a malignant narcissist and an asshole.
