In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host hilariously discussed President Donald Trump‘s bold claims and actions regarding the state of California. Kimmel opened the show by jokingly thanking Trump for saving California with water, adding that the state had just enough rain to put out the fires without causing mudslides. However, Kimmel couldn’t help but question whether Trump truly believed his own claims or if he thought Californians were gullible.
The talk show host went on to mock the California Department of Water Resources, who debunked Trump’s statements by clarifying that the military did not enter the state and that California’s water supplies remained plentiful. Kimmel found it amusing that a Twitter feud had erupted between the President and the Department of Water Resources, and even sarcastically asked Trump’s press secretary for clarification on the role of the military and the source of the water.
During his monologue, Kimmel also touched upon Trump’s participation in the annual House Republican Retreat and his golfing habits. The host humorously suggested that Trump should play golf every day to keep himself occupied, and even made a joke about the President considering a third term.
In addition to Trump’s claims about water and his golfing escapades, Kimmel discussed the President’s proposal to build an Iron Dome to protect the country from missiles. Kimmel pointed out that such a dome made sense for a country like Israel, but questioned its necessity for the United States, which is surrounded by friendly neighbors.
Kimmel also poked fun at the idea of putting Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore, highlighting a congresswoman’s proposal to honor his “remarkable accomplishments” by adding his face to the iconic monument. The talk show host couldn’t help but find the idea premature, given that Trump had only been president for eight days at that point.
Throughout his monologue, Kimmel sprinkled in jokes about the Doomsday Clock moving closer to midnight, the mysterious drone activity over several states, and the new White House press secretary’s promise of a more circus-like atmosphere.
In his signature comedic style, Kimmel concluded the segment by laughing at the absurdity of Florida and its governor. He mentioned Florida’s National Day and shared a montage of bizarre news stories that exemplified the state’s unique and often entertaining reputation.
As always, Jimmy Kimmel Live provided laughs aplenty as Kimmel brilliantly dissected Trump’s claims and actions, delivering a dose of entertainment that kept his audience entertained and eagerly anticipating what he would say next.
