Jimmy Kimmel rips into Donald Trump for making Hamas attack on Israel 'about himself'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel criticized former President Donald Trump for his response to the Hamas attack on Israel. Trump, using his Truth Social platform, asserted, “THE HORRIBLE ATTACK ON ISRAEL, MUCH LIKE THE ATTACK ON UKRAINE, WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT — ZERO CHANCE!”
Kimmel lashed out at the former president, criticizing Trump for making the escalating conflict “about himself.” But his tirade did not end there.
Jimmy Kimmel unleashes sarcastic take on Trump's response
Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night talk show host, sarcastically mocked Trump's response, saying, "That’s right. If he was president, we’d all be blissfully downing jiggers of bleach. There’d be no war anywhere.”
Kimmel also mocked Trump's bid to divert attention to himself amid the crisis as the former POTUS had posted an old photograph of himself playing tennis when, according to Kimmel, "he still had a waistline". He playfully dubbed him "Subpoena Williams," referring to Trump's legal challenges.
In the midst of this geopolitical crisis, Trump's focus on his personal attributes, such as his body compared to President Joe Biden's, diverted attention from the gravity of the situation.
Kimmel humorously imagined a "wet t-shirt contest" as a potential future political strategy.
