UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel has targeted Donald Trump in a scathing monologue, mocking the president’s “bruised ego” following a recent awards snub that has left him fuming. Kimmel’s comments, made during a live broadcast, suggest that Trump’s discontent stems from losing out on the coveted Nobel Peace Prize.
In a moment of urgency, Kimmel highlighted how Trump’s reaction to the Nobel Prize loss is affecting his behavior and decision-making. The late-night host quipped that not even an alternate FIFA Peace Prize could fill the void left by the prestigious award.
During the monologue, Kimmel referenced Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has expressed her desire to lead Venezuela against President Nicolás Maduro. However, insiders indicate that Trump is hesitant to support her, reportedly due to her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.
“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,” a source told The Washington Post.
Kimmel ridiculed Trump’s lack of engagement with Machado, attributing it to an ego that has taken a significant hit in recent weeks. He stated, “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’s commentary underscores a growing narrative surrounding Trump’s fragile self-image.
Further emphasizing the absurdity of the situation, Kimmel reiterated claims from White House sources that Trump withheld support from Machado because she “didn’t give him the Nobel Prize.” He humorously remarked, “Can we please stop with this idea that Trump lost the Nobel Prize? This is like I lost the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition.”
As the late-night segment progressed, Kimmel took a jab at Trump’s reported physical condition, indicating that the president has been seen with bruised hands, which Trump attributes to his aspirin intake. “At this point, his blood is even thinner than his skin,” Kimmel added, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Trump’s health and temperament.
This latest segment not only showcases Kimmel’s comedic talent but also reflects the intense political climate in the United States. As Trump’s approval ratings fluctuate and controversies surrounding his administration continue to mount, Kimmel’s remarks serve to amplify public discourse about the president’s leadership and priorities.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on how Trump responds to these allegations and whether Machado’s aspirations for leadership in Venezuela gain traction internationally. The implications of this ongoing narrative could have significant effects on both U.S. foreign policy and Trump’s domestic standing.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and keep an eye on the reactions from both the White House and international leaders regarding Trump’s approach to global recognition and support.
