BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel has unleashed a biting critique of Donald Trump, mocking the president for his “bruised ego” following a recent awards snub. During last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host suggested Trump’s fury stems from losing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, a blow that Kimmel claims the president has yet to recover from.
In a scathing monologue, Kimmel highlighted the absurdity of Trump’s reaction, noting, “Not even an alternate FIFA Peace Prize can satisfy his craving for recognition.” This commentary comes in the wake of Trump’s apparent lack of support for opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has been vocal about her ambitions to lead Venezuela against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
According to The Washington Post, two White House insiders revealed that Trump’s refusal to endorse Machado after Maduro’s capture is linked to her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. One source stated, “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today.”
Kimmel seized on this narrative, ridiculing Trump for not engaging in dialogue with Machado. He quipped, “She [Machado] won the Nobel Peace Prize, but Trump said, ‘she’s a nice lady, but she doesn’t have the respect to run the country.'” Kimmel further emphasized that Trump’s ego is at play, reiterating that the president’s refusal to support Machado stems from her not giving him the coveted prize.
In a moment of humor, Kimmel remarked, “So how did she react to that? Why, she went straight to [Sean] Hannity to offer it up. Share it? He doesn’t share. Sharing is caring, and he doesn’t do that either.” He continued, “You can’t just give someone your Nobel Prize; as far as I know, they’re non-transferable. You can’t re-gift them.”
Kimmel also poked fun at Trump’s physical appearance, referencing the president’s recent hand bruising, which Trump attributes to aspirin intake. “At this point, his blood is even thinner than his skin,” Kimmel quipped.
The comedic segment has sparked widespread interest, with viewers taking to social media to share their reactions. Kimmel’s relentless jabs at Trump’s ego are resonating across platforms, as the public engages with the unfolding drama in Washington.
With tensions high and public sentiment shifting, the implications of Trump’s fragile psyche and its impact on U.S. foreign policy remain to be seen. As this story develops, all eyes will be on how Trump responds, not only to Kimmel’s barbs but to the political challenges posed by figures like Machado.
Stay tuned for more updates as this situation evolves.
