Jimmy Kimmel takes a swipe at Donald Trump’s ‘Freedom 250’ festival
Jimmy Kimmel took a dig at President Donald Trump and his “Freedom 250” festival during the opening monologue of a new episode of his popular late-night talk show. The episode of “Jimmy Kimmel” live saw the host mentioning how the US President has been continuing to take swipes at late night hosts by showing one of his social media posts.
In the post, Donald Trump called CBS’s Stephen Colbert “REALLY DUMB” and boasted about taking him out. The US President also added that he has “three more limping late night talk show hosts” to go. In response to this post, Jimmy Kimmel displayed a photo of the US President’s leg and said, “I’m not sure I’d be calling us limping when you got cankles like this.”
After that, Jimmy Kimmel shifted his monologue towards Donald Trump’s “Freedom 250” festival, branding it “Coachella from hell-a.” The late night talk show host said, “Shouldn’t the president of the United States have more important things to focus on.” He continued, “Like finding a replacement for Milli Vanilli at his Coachella from hell-a on July 4?”
Fab Morvan, the frontman of Milli Vanilli, recently dropped out of the performance lineup for Donald Trump’s upcoming event. On June 1, in a televised CNN interview, he stated, “I’m here to, you know, to bring people together with music.” He continued, “I’m not into politics, so you hear it first here: I’m not attending.” Previously, other artists, including Young MC, Morris Day, Martina McBride, and others, withdrew from the “Freedom 250” festival.
Jimmy Kimmel further quipped that Donald Trump might feel “upset” after his talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” won the Peabody award.
