Late-night hosts have been dissecting Nancy Pelosi's recent remarks about Donald Trump, labeling him as "a vile creature" and describing him as the "worst thing on the face of the Earth." In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Stephen Colbert likened such vitriol to two extreme reactions: eating half your sandwich before realizing it's moldy or that fish in the Amazon that swims up your, ahem, peehole.
In response, most Americans seem to concur with Pelosi's sentiments. A recent poll showed Trump's approval rating at a new low of 37%, down from 47% in mid-February. This dip aligns with growing public dissatisfaction with the former president's actions and policies.
While discussing the New York mayoral race, Colbert poked fun at Trump's supporters, joking that his endorsement came from unlikely places like "your neighbor with the trumpet" or even a "subway seat puddle." The contrast between these endorsements and those from high-profile figures like Elon Musk, Eric Adams, and George Santos highlights the disconnect between Trump's base and mainstream America.
Jimmy Kimmel's take on the New York mayoral race was similarly irreverent. He called Andrew Cuomo a "clownishly funny" mayor who will soon be seen on Dancing With the Stars. Kimmel also took aim at Trump's handling of government shutdowns, joking that the president's decisions would make someone like his kids seem benevolent.
Trump's recent remarks about former Prince Andrew being stripped of his royal title have also been subject to ridicule. Kimmel likened Trump's response to Bill Cosby's attempts to salvage a damaged reputation, highlighting the stark contrast between their reactions.
Finally, the administration's inability to navigate everyday issues has raised eyebrows. Trump's threat to delay SNAP benefits was met with public outcry, and the eventual compromise – in which half of the funding will remain unchanged – seemed like a small victory for those affected. It also underscores the disconnect between Trump's policies and the lives of ordinary Americans.
As these late-night hosts continue to skewer the antics of politicians, they remind us that even in the midst of chaos, there is often room for humor and satire. By poking fun at ourselves and our leaders, we can find a way to cope with the absurdity of it all and perhaps – just perhaps – create a more civil discourse.

. I'm not saying he's perfect or anything, but come on, a little less vitriol would be nice 
. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is to compare his supporters to, like, your neighbor with the trumpet or something? 
That's just mean-spirited.
. And let's be real, his responses to stuff like Prince Andrew being stripped of his royal title? 
.
and those late night hosts killin' it 
they're like the only ones willing to speak truth to power without gettin' roasted 
meanwhile, trump's just out here tryin' to salvage his rep like bill cosby did 
.
. I mean, instead of getting all worked up about it, these hosts are just keeping it real and reminding us that even our leaders can be a little silly sometimes 
.
. It's like they're speaking two different languages or something! But hey, at least there's some comedy gold to be found in all this 
.
. And what's with his snarky comments about Andrew Cuomo and Bill Cosby? Can't he just focus on having a respectful conversation? 
but seriously though, Trump's base and mainstream America are like two different planets 
. meanwhile, Pelosi just tells it like it is, no sugarcoating 
? It's like they're saying, "Hey, we get it, Trump has a weird fanbase, but let's not take them seriously." And that commentary on the New York mayoral race? On point! I'm just glad Jimmy Kimmel is keeping it light and poking fun at both sides of the aisle. It's all about finding that balance between humor and civility 
.
️? The contrast between Trump's reactions and some of these late-night hosts' takes is just hilarious! I think it's a great reminder that even in tough times, we can find ways to laugh and cope. And hey, who knows, maybe it'll even inspire us to have a more civil conversation about politics 
Trump's approval rating is low because people are fed up with him, not because the late night hosts are being funny 
... it's just another way for them to get clicks and attention 
... and by the way Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about Andrew Cuomo are pretty cringeworthy 
... and what's with all these "satire" shows anyway? Can't we just have real discussions without mocking each other's opinions? 
. It's time to hold our leaders accountable and not take ourselves too seriously - after all, if we can laugh at ourselves, maybe we can find a way to deal with the chaos too
