In a recent episode of the popular talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” viewers were treated to a hilarious segment of “Lie Witness News – Trump Cabinet Edition.” As always, the show brought out the wit and charm of everyday people as they were asked about the President-elect’s cabinet choices. From the Secretary of Treasury to the head of the Food and Drug Administration, the responses were both amusing and enlightening.
One unsuspecting participant was asked for their thoughts on President-elect Trump naming Hans Gruber as Secretary of Treasury. Responding with enthusiasm, they exclaimed, “I guess it’s lit!” Clearly, they were thrilled by the choice, and when asked what they liked about Hans Gruber, they simply stated, “His name sounds lit.” It’s clear that some viewers may have mistaken this fictional character, made famous in the film “Die Hard,” for a real-life cabinet pick.
Moving on to the realm of energy, another participant was asked about their support for Jed Clampet as the head of the Department of Energy. While admitting they didn’t know much about Jed Clampet, they said, “I would support it” when asked if they were in favor of increasing domestic oil and gas production. Their excited response of “T tea Black Gold” showed their keen interest in this topic.
The topic took a comical turn as another individual was questioned about their thoughts on former drug manufacturer Walter White leading the Food and Drug Administration. Surprisingly, they supported the choice, despite not backing any “big farm agenda.” Perhaps this respondent was inspired by the popular TV series “Breaking Bad,” which featured Walter White as the main character.
Not all cabinet picks were met with confusion and amusement, however. When asked about President-elect Trump naming JFK Jr as the head of a health-related department, one person admitted their admiration for JFK Jr‘s health and fitness. Their response showed genuine support for this intriguing choice, and they even wished him the best of luck in his new role.
Enter the realm of the unexpected, as one participant was asked about their opinion on Dr. Charles Manson becoming the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Admittedly, they had not heard of this particular pick, showcasing their limited knowledge of politics. Nevertheless, they express support for Charles Manson, unaware of the chilling history associated with his name.
The entertainment continued with the mention of OJ Simpson being chosen as the Attorney General. While this selection left some people divided, one participant expressed a 50/50 stance on the matter. They acknowledged OJ Simpson‘s limited experience in crime and prosecution but wished him good luck nevertheless. This response reflected the complex mix of opinions that often surrounds polarizing figures.
Finally, the mention of Laura Croft being appointed as the head of the CIA caught the attention of one individual. Although they initially mistook her for the Tomb Raider character, they expressed excitement at seeing women in positions of power. Despite not knowing if Laura Croft had been working for this role or if she had earned it, their support for powerful women was evident.
In conclusion, this episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” showcased the hilarity and unpredictability of everyday people reacting to President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet choices. From fictional characters being mistaken for real appointments to surprising endorsements and polarizing responses, it was a delightful segment filled with entertainment value. Whether you agree or disagree with the choices made, it’s always fascinating to see how people perceive political news.
