In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host wasted no time in diving into the political chaos surrounding the Trump administration and Elon Musk‘s controversial actions. Kimmel humorously highlighted the mass firing of federal workers and the lack of compassion shown by the administration. He likened the manner in which these firings were carried out to a scene straight out of a comedy sketch.
Kimmel also couldn’t resist poking fun at Elon Musk, who sent out a mass email demanding a list of the top five things federal workers did at work last week. The talk show host equated the government’s actions to being run by the popular online platform BuzzFeed, eliciting laughter from the audience.
The discussion then turned to the frequent golfing escapades of President Trump. Kimmel pointed out that while federal workers were being laid off, Trump had played golf on nine out of his first 30 days in office. The irony was not lost on Kimmel, who humorously called out Trump‘s hypocrisy in accusing employees who work from home of playing golf instead of working.
The talk show host didn’t stop there. Kimmel proceeded to lambast both Trump and Musk as a “dick and a tater” in charge of everything. He criticized the decision to entrust a foreigner like Musk, who makes a significant portion of his wealth from government contracts, with sensitive personal information of millions of Americans.
As the segment continued, Kimmel highlighted the latest tell-all book about Trump, this time authored by Michael Wolf. Titled “All or Nothing,” the book apparently sheds light on Melania Trump‘s disdain for her husband, portraying her as someone who wants no part in Trump‘s world. Kimmel humorously compared her elusive whereabouts during the campaign to that of the Easter Bunny.
The conversation then shifted to French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington to dissuade Trump from bending over for Putin. Kimmel drew laughs as he remarked that Trump probably roots for Gollum when watching “Lord of the Rings,” implying an unusual affinity for morally ambiguous characters.
Even Rudy Giuliani, Trump‘s personal attorney, did not escape Kimmel’s comedic scrutiny. Kimmel jokingly remarked on Giuliani’s recent outing to Walmart in search of a hair dye, noting that the sad sight epitomized the lengths to which Giuliani was going to restore his former glory.
As the segment came to a close, Kimmel humorously referenced Trump‘s persistent promises to “make America great again.” He playfully listed some of the things Trump might bring back, including smoking on planes and in hospitals, littering, and even drunk driving. With his trademark wit, Kimmel signed off from the episode, leaving viewers entertained and ready for more of his cutting-edge humor.
In this lively episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host fearlessly tackled the political circus surrounding Trump and Musk, injecting his trademark humor into the tumultuous world of American politics. As always, Kimmel provided viewers with a hilarious respite from the day’s headlines and left them wanting more. It was a night of entertainment and laughter on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.
