Trump swings at Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy pummels him into orange pulp
If you come for the King you best not miss
Famously thin-skinned Orange Phantom Menace Donald J. Trump has been curled up in the fetal position ever since Kimmel laid him to waste during the Academy Awards. At least 100 recent truths on his sad little social media platform indicated as much, which Jimmy Kimmel skewered in his latest opening segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
With all that is happening in his life, including criminal trials, you would think Trump would let that little bit go.
He didn’t.
He hasn’t.
I’d dare say he couldn’t.
So, like the Flaming Tangerine Maniac he is, Trump decides to go after Kimmel again in a Truth Social post that is both groan-inducing and laughable.
Per The Hollywood Reporter:
In part, Trump posted: “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year.’”
Trump’s post was full of multiple factual errors, including the confusion of Kimmel with Pacino, a misunderstanding of what led the four-time Oscars host to read a prior post from Trump during the ceremony, and stating that the ratings for this year’s awards show declined with Kimmel as host. All of this made ample fodder for Kimmel during his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue Wednesday.
You could almost see Kimmel mentally winding up for the pitch in his opening segment takedown. It was “Hammer-Don’t-Hurt-Em” time, and it was so, so, so very good…
“He’s not just wrong, but maybe, ‘We should be worried about him’ wrong. Like, ‘Maybe we should take the keys away from Grandpa’ wrong.”
In addition to noting that Pacino presented the top award at the ceremony, Kimmel also pointed out that the ratings for this year’s Oscars ceremony went up this year. An average of 19.5 million viewers tuned in to watch, according to Nielsen data — this is a 4 percent increase over the 18.8 million who tuned in for the 95th annual Academy Awards in 2023. This led Kimmel to hint at his potential next hosting gig.
“I don’t know. That must be why they asked me to host the show again next year, which I wasn’t planning to do but now I might,” he added, then addressing Trump: “Maybe — you know what — maybe you can watch on the TV in the rec room at Rikers with all the guys.”
Ooooo, that’s gonna leave a mark!
You know a MAGA minion wrote that lame, whiny Truth too; they could have at least misspelled a word or two to make it believable. And Vaunted? Really? Maybe, just maybe, Trump and Co., shouldn’t try to go after people with entire writing teams who tell jokes for a living.
Just saying.
Anyhoo, enjoy Kimmel taking Trump’s lunch money, and have a terrific weekend.
Love you!
