Yahoo Lifestyle Fox News' Bret Baier Mimics Trump, Sparking Laughter At Journalism Forum
Fox News’ Bret Baier entertained the audience with his impression of President Donald Trump during a journalism forum on Wednesday.
The “Special Report” anchor was talking about the “confidence” of Trump’s second administration — and the president’s record-setting long address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday — at an event hosted by nonprofit newsroom NOTUS when he suddenly jumped into character as the president.
“Internally, you know, the word went out that [former President] Bill Clinton had the longest State of the Union and joint address at one hour, 28 minutes,” Baier told The Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey, who was moderating the event.
The Fox News anchor suggested Trump was “looking at the clock” during the speech and then said, mimicking the president’s voice: “I’m going to get 139.”
The audience laughed and Dawsey responded: “That’s not bad. That’s not bad.”
Baier, still in character, replied: “Thank you, Josh.”
“I’m not going to do mine,” said Dawsey, prompting Baier to joke, “I don’t get to do it on the show that much.”

Later during the same conversation, Dawsey asked Baier how he prepares to interview Trump, as he has done on multiple occasions, most recently for a sit-down that aired ahead of last month’s Super Bowl.
Baier once again slipped into a Trump impression, mimicking the former president’s tendency to go off on rambling tangents. “I like to do the weave. Sometimes I weave from topic to topic,” he said as Trump.
Baier also briefly mimicked Trump to his face during their Super Bowl interview.
