During his guest appearance on a late-night talk show, Ferrell reprised one of his most famous comedic skills—impersonating political figures. But this time, instead of his iconic George W. Bush impression, he turned his sights on Trump, delivering a devastatingly hilarious take on the former president’s mannerisms, speech patterns, and self-obsession.
Slipping into character, Ferrell squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and launched into a spot-on parody:
"Listen, folks, they tell me, they say, ‘Sir, you’re the greatest. No one has ever been president like you.’ And I say, ‘I know! I know! Believe me, many people are saying it—more than Abraham Lincoln, okay? Lincoln was a loser. Terrible ratings. Very low-energy ghost!’"
The crowd erupted in laughter as Ferrell continued, mocking Trump’s constant need for validation:
"I had the biggest, best presidency. Nobody did it better. And by the way, the election? Totally rigged! Everyone knows it, even my close, personal friends at McDonald’s—they tell me every day, ‘Sir, we wish you were still in charge of the drive-thru.’"
Audience Goes Wild, Internet Explodes
As expected, the audience couldn’t get enough, with some barely able to contain their laughter. Clips of Ferrell’s impression began circulating online within minutes, and social media was flooded with reactions.
"Will Ferrell just ended Trump in the funniest way possible," one Twitter user wrote. "I haven’t laughed this hard in months!"
Another user added, "Imagine being so insecure that you lose sleep over a Will Ferrell impression. Trump is definitely gonna rage-post about this."
Trump’s Furious Reaction: "Not Funny!"
It didn’t take long for Trump to respond—and he was NOT amused. In a typically fiery social media rant, the former president blasted Ferrell, calling him "a washed-up, overrated, unfunny has-been."
"Will Ferrell is just another Hollywood liberal who never liked me because I EXPOSED their corruption!" Trump fumed. "His movies have been terrible for years, nobody watches anymore! SAD!"
His supporters quickly rallied behind him, dismissing Ferrell as just another celebrity trying to stay relevant. "We don’t care what some comedian thinks!" one Trump supporter posted. "We want REAL leaders, not Hollywood clowns!"
Ferrell Responds: "Thanks for Watching, Donald!"
Ferrell, never one to back down from a comedic feud, responded with his trademark humor. "Oh wow, he saw it? That’s nice! I was starting to think he didn’t watch real television anymore!" he joked. "I hope he enjoyed it—because I’ve got plenty more where that came from!"
The late-night host, also enjoying the moment, chimed in: "Hey, at least we know he’s watching real comedy instead of Fox News!"
