Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has unleashed his trademark irreverence on Donald Trump, labeling the Republican Party as being mired in "so much greed, hypocrisy, and duplicity." The former President's attempts to transform the White House have been met with skepticism, with Kimmel noting that Trump is "brazenly lying about the economy" while still pursuing deals.
Trump's recent meeting with Vladimir Putin has also raised eyebrows, with Kimmel pointing out the absurdity of claiming he's the only president to have ended a war. The fact-checking host joked that all other wars simply ended mysteriously without Trump's involvement.
Kimmel also took aim at Trump's "Cinderella ballroom" dinner event for investors, calling it a "demented version of Cinderella where the pumpkin is in charge." He noted that tech companies like Meta and Google were more than happy to attend, lining up to fawn over the President. The host likened this to "a big dumb vanity project."
The economic impact of Trump's presidency has been significant, with his family reportedly earning $1 billion in crypto alone last year. Kimmel quipped that if Lincoln were still alive, he'd be selling top hats and flags – but Trump doesn't even wear a watch.
Kimmel also criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for the government shutdown while keeping mum on more pressing issues like the Epstein files. The host suggested that nationwide protests against Trump's authoritarian rule would likely be misrepresented as "violent, vicious Antifa riots" by Fox News and other outlets.
Meanwhile, the far right has been quick to label these protests as "Hate America" rallies, a claim that Kimmel finds particularly galling given the party's own history of intolerance. He even joked that the January 6 insurrection was only a "patriotic walking tour."
Colbert also weighed in on Trump's attempts to rewrite American history, including his plans for a triumphal arch in the capital and his supposed design credit. The host called it "a big dumb vanity project," while Colbert quipped that if you want to reveal Chicago's true state, just show a deep dish pizza.
A recent leak of chat logs from the Young Republicans group revealed disturbing texts supporting Hitler – which Trump denied reflected the party's values. Kimmel joked that if Johnson had a time machine, would he use it to kiss baby Hitler?
