Chris Wallace Crew Cracks Up Over Trump Impression: ‘Do The Rest Of The Show’ Like That

CNN anchor Chris Wallace and his co-stars cracked up over an impression of former President Donald Trump that included a shot at Wallace over his debate moderating skills.

Journalists Kristen Soltis Anderson , Lulu Garcia-Navarro , Jim Geraghty , and Natasha Alford joined Wallace for this week’s edition of CNN’s The Chris Wallace Show on Saturday morning, during which Wallace played some remarks by Sec. Pete Buttigieg about the prospect of the Trump “fever” breaking.

Wallace asked Geraghty about the premise, at which point the “demon” Trump briefly “possessed” Geraghty:

WALLACE: Meanwhile, the Democrats have come up with a new way to try to win over more traditional shuttle Republican voters. Here’s Secretary Pete Buttigieg promising a return to a more normal GOP.

PETE BUTTIGIEG, TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY: Beating him twice would, I think, have a different effect on a lot of people in the GOP who know better than to be on board with him.

But we got so close to the fever breaking, but it didn’t quite break, because Republicans found that their access to power still depended on their standing with Donald Trump.

WALLACE: Jim, Buttigieg said that to our very own Lulu Garcia in her podcast. Is “break the fever” a good way, a realistic way to try to win over some not very happy with Trump Republicans?

GERAGHTY: If you could make the argument that Kamala Harris is going to be a centrist, New Democratic Leadership Council, centrist, middle of the road style Democrat, you’d probably have an easier sell. Maybe there are some Republicans out there who are so fed up with Donald Trump and so exasperated by this and the idea that this is going to drive a stake into the heart of Trumpism, than maybe so.

My sneaking suspicion is we all thought that January 6th was going to do this, and we thought that the convictions were going to do this. I could very — you know, if Trump loses, he’s going to say, oh, it was cheated, it was stolen, I did nothing wrong. It’s going to be all —

WALLACE: Best you do the rest of the show with your Trump —

TRUMP/GERAGHTY: Chris, I’d love to do it. I was so fed up with the way you handled that debate, it was absolutely —

WALLACE: Wow!

GERAGHTY: I won’t do that because the voice gets into my head, and it gets — it’s kind of hard to get out. It’s like demonic possession.

The point is that like I’d love the idea that if Trump loses in 2028, the Republican Party resets.
