In a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” former President Donald Trump‘s appearance at a gala for the black conservative Federation took center stage. Trump was presented with the “Champion of Black America” award, an honor that had been specifically created for him. Kimmel couldn’t help but find humor in the fact that previous recipients of this award didn’t exist, making it quite the unique honor.
During his freestyle speech, Trump made it a point to emphasize his newfound popularity among black people, claiming that they see themselves in him. He praised black workers, referenced classic Hollywood actors, and even made a humorous remark about his favorite color being black. Kimmel pointed out the irony of these statements, considering Trump’s controversial history with race, including a 1989 incident where he called for the death penalty for a group of mostly black teenagers who were later found to be wrongfully accused.
Aside from Trump’s gala appearance, Kimmel also highlighted his recent victory in the South Carolina primary, where he defeated Nikki Haley by 20 points. Despite the expected result, Kimmel couldn’t resist poking fun at the awkward interaction between Trump and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who received a less than enthusiastic response from the crowd.
Although Trump’s win in South Carolina was undoubtedly a success, Kimmel noted that Haley’s decision to continue running for president is understandable considering the numerous criminal charges Trump faces in multiple states. Kimmel humorously compared being Haley’s competitor to being Charlie Sheen‘s understudy in a Broadway play, suggesting that there might be a chance she could replace him.
Trump also made an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he once again displayed his affection for the American flag. Kimmel couldn’t help but comment on Trump’s rather unique dance moves, making light of his passionate flag-hugging and flag-kissing antics.
In addition to Trump’s political activities, Kimmel highlighted an entertaining segment where his cousin Mickey was pranked using augmented reality goggles. In the prank, Mickey was led to believe she was using Apple Vision Pro goggles, when in reality, she was wearing regular ski goggles. The segment provided some lighthearted entertainment as Mickey interacted with virtual butterflies, puppies, and even had a dance party.
Overall, the episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” showcased Trump’s recent activities, including his gala appearance and his victory in the South Carolina primary. Kimmel brought his signature humor to the segment, providing an entertaining look at the world of politics and late-night television.
