Jimmy Kimmel continues tirade against Donald Trump: “He thinks he’s AI Jesus”
Jimmy Kimmel has continued to call out Donald Trump on his late-night show, touching on Trump’s expensive ballroom, the war in Iran, and his surprise reinstatement of the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools.
On May 5th, Kimmel used his monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live to reflect on current events, such as the star-studded Met Gala. However, it wasn’t long before he turned his attention to the man at the top: “Maybe next year they can have the Met Gala at the White House ballroom.”
He went on, “You know, I don’t know what it is with Trump in this ballroom, but he’s building it. He’s been pushing it bigly since that shooter showed up at the correspondence dinner.”
Unpacking the finances, the talk-show host explained that Trump originally put the price tag at $200 for exclusively private donors, which then doubled to $400 million for those same donors.
Kimmel added exasperatedly, “Then yesterday, Republicans in the Senate pushed a bill that would allocate a billion dollars of taxpayer money to go toward this project.”
He clarified, “After saying he and his teeth sucklers would pay for it personally, Team Trump now wants us to foot the bill, which is now five times what he said it would be. What can you say? The man loves to dance.”
Last month, Kimmel poked fun at Trump’s testicles in another monologue, joking that “The Melania documentary had a score of 10 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband’s testicles.”
Now, he’s fired out at the rest of the administration, sharing, “Why does he need a room to hold balls? He’s already holding a lot of balls. He’s holding JD Vance’s balls. He’s got Lindsey Graham’s balls. He’s holding the balls of almost every Republican in Congress.”
Elsewhere, Trump had just signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools, much to Kimmel’s delight: “Trump is very into fitness. In fact, whenever somebody asks about the Epstein files he sprints out of the room.”
Harking back to his earlier joke, he also added, “Trump said the fittest kids will get to come to the White House and help build the ballroom.”
For Trump, Kimmel mused, the test would more likely involve “how many Wendy’s tendies you can fit in your mouth.”
Kimmel added, “Only Donald Trump would bring back a test he would have no chance of passing.”
Turning his attention to the Iran War, whereby their military headquarters promised that measures “beyond [the USA’s imagination” are planned. Kimmel quipped, “I don’t think we have a pretty good imagination at this. We have a president who thinks he’s AI Jesus.”
