Jimmy Kimmel Reminds Trump Who the World Is Actually Laughing At

On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel took aim at President Donald Trump for spending part of his Thanksgiving holiday posting a lengthy tirade on Truth Social. In his holiday message, Trump criticized immigrants, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, former President Joe Biden, and others.

Trump claimed that Americans have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at. Kimmel, however, was quick to challenge the president's statement.

I hate to break it to you: Our country isnt being laughed at, Kimmel said. Theyre laughing at you.

Trump has long been sensitive to being mocked, often threatening late-night hosts who make jokes at his expense. Kimmels comment, however, reflects a wider truth: a video earlier this year captured several European leaders laughing at Trumps repeated confusion between Albania and Armenia, a mix-up that occurred multiple times during his first term. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a frequent critic of Trump, also confirmed over the summer that he has witnessed such laughter firsthand.

Ive had the privilege of meeting many foreign leaders, Newsom told Politico in August. Theyre laughing behind his back.

Kimmels full monologue on Monday night delved deeper into Trumps statements and offered his characteristic humorous yet sharp critique of the presidents rhetoric and actions.
