Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back in his criticism of Donald Trump’s financial woes during a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Addressing Trump’s looming deadline to pay the $454 million judgment in his New York fraud case, Kimmel humorously speculated on the potential fallout for Melania Trump, suggesting she might end up with “half of the nothing he owns now.” The quip played on rumors of tension in the Trumps’ relationship.
Kimmel also seized the opportunity to mock Trump’s plea for presidential immunity in his D.C. criminal trial for alleged election subversion. Trump’s recent presentation of a 67-page brief to the Supreme Court, suggesting potential immunity or a return to lower courts for immunity determination, was met with Kimmel’s sharp commentary. Despite Trump’s financial troubles, Kimmel remarked, “his excuses are richer than ever,” and humorously proposed that Trump request “immunity from chlamydia just in case.”
In a satirical reference to Trump’s controversial remarks about disinfectant injections for COVID-19 patients in 2020, Kimmel further joked, “If Donald Trump wants immunity, he should drink bleach like he told us to do when we wanted immunity.” Kimmel’s segment showcased his trademark wit and willingness to skewer political figures, particularly Trump, with pointed humor.
“The real loser here is Melania, she may end up with half of the nothing he owns now.” Kimmel joked, poking fun at the Trumps’ reportedly fraught relationship. “If you think she hates him now, wait until he’s poor,” he added.
