The President’s State of the Union address did not sit well with Jimmy Kimmel. The late-night comedian took issue with many points Donald Trump brought up on Tuesday, including his desire to protect Americans rather than illegal aliens. The President neglected to address the actions of ICE, which killed two people in Minneapolis earlier this year.
Jimmy fired back on his show Tuesday, saying that Donald is “arresting, incarcerating and killing American citizens.” Following the President’s nearly two-hour-long speech, Jimmy said that it made him miss Joe Biden. He jokingly added that the former President had “a much friendlier dementia” than Donald.
Jimmy Kimmel called President Trump “a nut job wannabe king”
If the President thought Jimmy’s temporary suspension last year would get the comedian to lay off him, it appears he was sadly mistaken. On Tuesday’s opening monologue for Jimmy Kimmel Live! the late-night host continued to tear into Donald. Jimmy said that with him in power, “we have a nutjob wannabe king who’s doing everything he can to censor opinions he doesn’t want to hear.”
Among other things, Donald blasted the Democrats in his speech on Tuesday, accusing them of not standing up for Americans. Among the controversies Jimmy brought up surrounding the President was the actions of ICE, the arrest of Americans who speak up, and the Jeffrey Epstein files. All of those were brought up in an indirect manner during his monologue.
Earlier this month, Jimmy poked fun at a Donald Trump fundraiser. Jimmy has questioned the President’s overall well-being. Donald has talked about acing his cognitive tests, but the fact that he’s had more than one for Jimmy is a genuine cause for concern.
Jimmy called the President’s speech to the nation on Tuesday mere rambling. Thus, he wondered whether it could still be considered a speech or merely a competition. Jimmy Kimmel Live! was temporarily taken off the air last year after the comedian made some controversial comments following the Charlie Kirk assassination. Donald praised the move by ABC.
