Jimmy Kimmel on Trump’s second term: ‘Has anyone ever done a worse job?’
Late-night hosts discussed Trump’s midterm bribes, Pete Hegseth’s ‘grooming standards’ and Don Jr’s wedding bankrolled by a Russian oligarch
Late-night hosts dug into Donald Trump’s attempts to sway the upcoming midterms and the Russian oligarch who bankrolled his son Donald Trump Jr’s second wedding.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host opened with news that Republicans skipped town early this week in order to dodge a vote on whether to impeach the “secretary of war”, Pete Hegseth. “They’re very good at dodging votes. They did this a couple weeks ago to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files,” Kimmel noted.
“We are now 48 days from our president declaring a stolen election,” he continued. “He’s trying every trick to try to steal it himself. The supreme court foiled his plan to stop mail-in voting, so now he’s offering $5,000 to every adult if the Republicans win. Only if they win. Which is crazy – also crazy that he would give us our own money as some kind of a gift.
