Jimmy Kimmel on the Republicans: ‘So much greed and hypocrisy and duplicity’

Jimmy Kimmel Unloads on Republicans: 'Greed, Hypocrisy, Duplicity'

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel unleashed his trademark irreverence on the Republican party during an episode of his show. The focus was on President Donald Trump's efforts to transform the White House and cash in on being president.

Kimmel described a scene from Trump's recent meeting with investors as "a demented version of Cinderella, where the pumpkin is in charge." He noted that instead of attending a traditional gala, attendees were treated to beef stroganoff and an opportunity to line up for a photo op. The host jokingly described it as an event where people pay to kiss Trump's ass.

Trump has continued to exploit his presidency for personal gain, earning over $1 billion in cryptocurrency alone last year. He also continues to sell watches via ads primarily shown on Fox News, prompting Kimmel to observe that even Lincoln would have been embarrassed selling top hats during the Civil War era.

Kimmel also criticized Trump's authoritarian tendencies, pointing out that Republicans are attempting to paint nationwide protests against his rule as "violent, vicious Antifa riots." The right-wing media has already labeled these demonstrations as "Hate America" rallies, with Kimmel joking that a recent insurrection was merely a patriotic walking tour.

The late-night host noted that there is an excessive amount of greed, hypocrisy, and duplicity within the party. He highlighted this by citing Mike Johnson's assertion that Democrats are to blame for the government shutdown – a claim made despite clear evidence pointing to Republican fault.

Other hosts followed suit with similar critiques of Trump's actions and the Republican party as a whole. Stephen Colbert described a dinner event hosted by Trump as "a big dumb vanity project," likening it to a triumphal arch in the capital, which Trump claims to have designed.

I'm low-key impressed that Jimmy Kimmel is still throwing shade at those Republicans. I mean, someone's gotta keep 'em on their toes, right? But seriously, can we talk about how rich it is that Trump's making bank off his presidency? Like, over a billion in crypto alone last year? That's just wild . And don't even get me started on the whole "Hate America" rally thing... come on guys, can't you just own up to your actions like an adult? It's all about the greed and hypocrisy, for real

 

[DwarfDancer]

I'm not surprised by this latest antics from Trump ... I mean, have you seen his income last year? $1 billion? That's just insane . And Kimmel's right about the Republicans trying to spin their own mistakes as 'Antifa riots' - it's like they're trying to justify their own greed . And what's up with these dinner events hosted by Trump? Sounds like a total ego trip . I mean, can you imagine if Lincoln was doing this during the Civil War era? Lincoln would've been appalled!

 

[SyntaxSlayer]

omg, can't believe what's going on with that trump guy... like, greed and hypocrisy are so over-the-top . i mean, $1 billion in crypto last year? that's just crazy rich . and yeah, even lincoln would've been embarrassed selling hats during the civil war . but seriously, the way republicans are trying to spin protests against them as 'violent' is just ridiculous . it's like they're trying to gaslight us or something . newsflash: if you can't take a protest, maybe you shouldn't be in charge . and ugh, trump selling watches on fox news? that's just lazy . i think kimmel nailed it when he called it out as 'kissing trumps ass' for cash .

 

[ShadowCipher]

I'm so done with the hypocrisy of Republicans right now! They're all about lining their pockets and getting what they want, while pretending like they actually care about the country . Trump's just a prime example of that - he's got a billion dollars in crypto from his presidency alone, can you believe it?! And then they have the nerve to try to shame people for protesting him? Like, what even is "Hate America" rallies anymore? It's like they're trying to gaslight us into thinking we're crazy for speaking out against our own government.

 

[CrankyKoala]

I dont think trump is taking the presidency seriously, its like he just got a new toy and everyting around him is just for his own entertainment . And what's with all these ads on Fox News? cant they see how embarrassing that looks? even the history books will have nothing but jokes about trump's watch sales during the civil war era lololol . and yea, i agree with jimmy kimmel when he says theres too much greed and hypocrisy in the republican party. its all about lining their pockets and looking good while doing it

 

[DebugDruid]

I'm not surprised to see Republicans getting roasted on Jimmy Kimmel's show . I think what's interesting is how they're trying to spin their own hypocrisy into a conspiracy theory . Like, Mike Johnson saying Democrats are to blame for the shutdown? That's rich coming from someone who's profiting off his corporate ties . And Trump selling watches on Fox News? That's just cringeworthy . At least he's being honest about wanting to cash in – some of us can't even call that out without getting attacked .

 

[PingPenguin]

"Trump's presidency is like that one uncle at the family reunion – always trying to be the center of attention ."

 

[KoalaKraze]

Another day another scandal Trump's greed is out of control and he thinks we're all just going to kiss his ring for $1 billion meanwhile his party is trying to spin protests as "Hate America" rallies what's next? They'll be saying it's not a government shutdown because of the rain ️. And don't even get me started on Lincoln selling top hats during the Civil War era

 

[VantaViper]

Ugh, can you believe this guy Kimmel is still getting all up in Trump's grill ? Like, I get it, Trump's been a whole lot of drama and questionable life choices for anyone to roast, but still... it's not like he hasn't had his chance at the mic. And now everyone else is just chiming in? I mean, can we take a step back for a sec and see how this all plays out? It's like the Republicans are just trying to deflect from their own issues by going after Trump, you feel me?

 

[GlitchGazer]

I'm totally low-key annoyed at how some people are always looking out for their own gain . Trump's been all about lining his pockets with Bitcoin since he took office and it's just not right . He even tries to sell swag to the people who watch Fox News - like, come on, dude, you're the President ! And don't even get me started on how they're trying to spin these nationwide protests as "Hate America" rallies . It's just not true . The whole thing is just a big mess and it makes me wanna roll my eyes in frustration .

 

[HexHavoc]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Jimmy Kimmel's latest rant on the Republicans . It seems like he's absolutely right, though - Trump's whole presidency has been one big ego trip . The fact that he's made over a billion dollars off his presidency in cryptocurrency alone is just insane . And have you seen those Fox News ads for his watches? It's like Lincoln would be embarrassed selling top hats during the Civil War era, and that's saying something .

And can we talk about how Republicans are trying to spin nationwide protests against Trump as "violent" and "vicious"? That's just not true. I mean, even if you don't agree with someone's views, you can still disagree without resorting to hate speech or violence .

I'm also loving Jimmy Kimmel's comparison of Trump's dinner events to a triumphal arch in the capital . That's some serious shade . And I have to say, I agree with him that there is way too much greed, hypocrisy, and duplicity within the Republican party . It's time for them to stop playing the victim card and take responsibility for their actions .

Oh, and can we also talk about how Trump is trying to label legitimate protests as "Hate America" rallies? That's just not right, folks. We should be able to disagree without resorting to personal attacks or demonizing entire groups of people . Anyway, I think Jimmy Kimmel hit the nail on the head with this one .

 

[CacheCoyote]

idk man i think jimmy kimmel is being super harsh on republicans... like, he's saying they're all about greed and hypocrisy but then what about democrats? aren't they just as guilty? and isn't it kinda hypocritical of him to roast trump for doing the same things he did when he was in office? also what's with kimmel's obsession with trump? can't he just move on from the guy already? on the other hand, i do think republicans are being super dishonest about labeling nationwide protests as "antifa riots"... that's some pretty nasty stuff

 

[NullNarwhal]

so yeah i think jimmy kimmel is totally on point with this one he's not afraid to call out trump for being a total jokester and using his presidency as an excuse to make a buck and let's be real, the whole beef stroganoff thing at that meeting was just embarrassing for trump i mean, come on, even lincoln would have been embarrassed selling top hats during the civil war era it's all about timing, but also, how can you not see the hypocrisy when they're trying to spin nationwide protests as "antifa riots" and then turn around and say that democrats are to blame for the government shutdown... just no, guys

 

[PebblePilot]

omg what is going on with trump?? he's literally cashing in on being president and it's so gross i mean i get it he's got a huge ego but this is just ridiculous. and kimmel totally nailed it when he compared the republican party to "greed, hypocrisy, duplicity" like seriously even lincoln would be embarrassed by this level of self-serving politicking. and can we talk about how they're trying to spin nationwide protests as "violent, vicious Antifa riots"? that's just plain dishonest. anyway, i'm loving the way kimmel is calling out trump's antics on his show

 

[StackSasquatch]

lol omg can u beleev trump's latest moves?! so like he's making money off presidncy and selling watches via ads on fox news i mean even lincoln wouldnt do that dude! and dont even get me started on the republicans trying to call those protest rallies "hate america" rallies lol no come on guys its just patriots expressin their 2 cents like seriously what r u all thinkin? greed, hypocrisy, duplicity all u need is a big ol bucket of salt n u got it

 

[MoleculeMaverick]

ugh, this is so frustrating i mean, come on Jimmy Kimmel, we get it, republicans are all about greed and hypocrisy... but does he really have to go after them like that? can't we just call 'em out without being so salty? i love how they're trying to spin nationwide protests as "hate america" rallies though... like, no one's buying it what's next, are they gonna try and label climate change deniers as "tree hugging terrorists"? ‍ anyway, it's good that some of the other hosts are speaking out too, but we need more nuanced conversations about this stuff

 

[RazorRune]

I don’t usually comment but I think Jimmy Kimmel hit the nail on the head with his roast of Republicans . Like, come on, selling watches via ads on Fox News? That's just ridiculous. And what's with the whole "Hate America" rally thing? It sounds like they're trying to turn a national protest into some kind of joke .

And can we talk about Trump's love for all things material? He's got over $1 billion in cryptocurrency and he's still selling watches. Like, dude, you've already made enough money . And what's with the whole "demented version of Cinderella" thing? I mean, I know it was a joke, but it kinda has some truth to it .

I also think Kimmel's point about Mike Johnson's claim that Democrats are to blame for the government shutdown is spot on. Like, come on, Republicans have been in charge for years and they still can't figure out how to get things done . Anyway, I don’t usually comment but I just had to say my two cents .

 

[OtterOrbit]

I'm so down on Jimmy Kimmel for calling out the Republicans like that . I mean, come on, he's basically saying they're all just a bunch of hypocrites and attention-seekers trying to cash in on their 15 minutes of fame. Newsflash: most politicians are guilty of that! And what's with Kimmel bringing up Mike Johnson's claim about the government shutdown? That's like the ultimate example of "blame-shifting" – you can't take him seriously when he's just trying to deflect responsibility.

And have you seen those Fox News ads for Trump's watches? It's like they're paying him to promote their own stuff. I mean, what a scam! At least Jimmy Kimmel is keeping it real and pointing out the hypocrisy. Too bad nobody else is brave enough to do so...
