US President Donald Trump has been making headlines with his numerous endeavors while in office, including attempting to transform the White House and cashing in on being president. According to late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, Trump's actions have been marred by "so much greed, hypocrisy, and duplicity" from the Republican party.
Kimmel pointed out that Trump has been using his "goon squad" to indict former national security adviser John Bolton while still claiming he is being honest about the economy. The president's recent meeting with Vladimir Putin was also scrutinized, as Trump boasted about ending a war but failed to provide concrete evidence.
Moreover, Trump has been hosting events for investors who are willing to fund a renovation of the White House, which Kimmel likened to "a demented version of Cinderella" where the pumpkin is in charge. The host also highlighted how Trump's family has earned $1 billion in cryptocurrency over the past year and continues to sell watches through advertisements primarily shown on Fox News.
Kimmel expressed his disappointment with the Republican party, particularly House speaker Mike Johnson, who still blames Democrats for the government shutdown despite it being a distraction from more pressing issues. The host also joked that Trump's authoritarian rule will be met with nationwide protests this weekend, which right-wing media outlets will label as "violent" and "vicious Antifa riots."
Similarly, Stephen Colbert poked fun at Trump's attempts to present himself as a builder, claiming he wants to build a triumphal arch in the capital and has taken credit for designing it. Colbert jokingly dismissed Trump's notion, saying that they have had these structures for thousands of years.
Colbert also highlighted how Republicans are sharing manipulated footage from other states to depict Chicago as a war zone, only to point out that deep-dish pizza would reveal the city's true nature. Additionally, leaked chats from the Young Republicans group revealed support for Hitler, with Colbert poking fun at House speaker Mike Johnson's denial of this revelation.
These late-night hosts' takes on Trump's actions serve as a stark reminder of the president's questionable record and the hypocrisy within his own party.

he's literally cashing in on being president like it's no big deal while the rest of us are dealing with real issues 
and his goon squad is out to get john bolton for what? a grudge? it's just so underhanded. 
he's trying to sell us all out by hosting events for investors, like some kinda sick game show 
where the prize is getting to renovate the white house at our expense! meanwhile his family is making bank off crypto and watches 
blaming democrats for the government shutdown is just so predictable. it's like he's trying to be some kinda bad cop, but honestly who cares what he says anymore? 
it's always the same script. anyway, just wanted to share my 2 cents
Trump's antics are getting old. The man is either trying to make a quick buck or genuinely thinks he can do whatever he wants without consequences 
.
The fact that they're trying to spin things as "Antifa riots" just shows how desperate they are to silence critics. Can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen 
.
like who needs a renovation fund when you can just sell your own family's crypto lol $1 billion in one year that's insane! and oh man stephen colbert is killin' it with those Hitler jokes 
but at the same time, can we really say that any of this is genuine? like, is he even trying to do what's best for the country or is he just winging it and seeing what sticks? 
He tries to spin that rebuilding the White House will be some kind of "generosity" to America but honestly it's just an excuse to line his own pockets with taxpayer cash 
The Republican party is basically having a collective meltdown trying to cover up their embarrassment of a leader 
. It's not about winning an argument or proving someone wrong, it's about being honest with yourself and the world around you. We should all strive to be more like Stephen Colbert, poking fun at ourselves when we make mistakes 
.
meanwhile his fam is raking in 1 billion in crypto over the past year 
️ and also btw repubs sharing manipulated footage to make chicago look bad is just wild 
deep-dish pizza is the real hero here
, that's like a small city's budget. no wonder trump is always talking about making america great again but can't even get his own finances in order
. And those cryptos his family raked in over a billion bucks? Um, shouldn't that be public knowledge or something?
