Jimmy Kimmel unleashed a scathing attack on U.S. President Donald Trump during his late-night monologue, mocking the president's declining approval ratings with a crude comparison to his 'all-time low genitals.' The comedian, known for his ongoing feud with Trump, referenced recent polls showing Trump trailing Vice President J.D. Vance in public approval. Kimmel also ridiculed Trump's proposal for a $250 bill featuring his own image, calling it a vanity project.
Kimmel Targets Trump's Approval Ratings
During the monologue, Kimmel highlighted reports that Trump's approval numbers have hit an all-time low. He quipped that the only thing lower than Trump's ratings were his genitals, drawing laughter from the audience. The host also noted that Trump's approval is now below that of Vice President J.D. Vance, a stark reversal from earlier in the administration.
Freedom 250 Event in Turmoil
Kimmel turned his attention to the troubled Great American State Fair and its centerpiece event, the Freedom 250 celebration. Several high-profile performers have reportedly withdrawn from the lineup, citing concerns over the event's political messaging and organization. Kimmel mocked the chaos, suggesting that Trump's involvement had turned the celebration into a disaster.
Ongoing Feud with Trump
The latest roast is part of a long-running feud between Kimmel and Trump, which has intensified ahead of the midterm elections. Kimmel has been a vocal critic of Trump's policies and personal conduct, often using his platform to lampoon the president. Trump has frequently fired back on social media, calling Kimmel a 'third-rate talent.'
Despite the criticism, Trump's team has dismissed Kimmel's remarks as partisan attacks. However, the comedian's monologue has resonated with viewers, as evidenced by the strong social media reaction. The segment also included jabs at other political figures and events, maintaining Kimmel's reputation for sharp political satire.
