Jimmy Kimmel celebrates US and Iran ceasefire
In his monologue on his show, Jimmy Kimmel spoke at length about the ceasefire agreement between the USA and Iran. He followed it with President Donald Trump’s controversial comment about wiping out the “whole civilization.”
“Probably the most dangerous episode of The Celebrity President yet today: It was D-Day. In this case, the ‘d’ stands for ‘dementia,’ but it was D-Day today. We’re coming to you from Los Angeles, where the local time’s just after 5 p.m., which was Trump’s deadline for Iran to quote, ‘Open the effing straight or you’ll be living in hell,” Kimmel began. “He gave a hard cut-off time of now, of right now. And then this morning he wrote, ‘A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.'”
The audience jeered at this. “I agree. I’m against civilizations being annihilated as well. Thank you for taking a stand,” Kimmel told them.
“Realize this is the same man who was bitching about losing the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he’s threatening a civilization with death. He went from Mahatma Gandhi to General Zod like that,” Kimmel continued, “And so all day today, everyone — most notably the people of Iran — were wondering if their civilization was going to die tonight. Well, good news: It didn’t. It was the taco Tuesday of all taco Tuesdays, as our president decided not to drop the chalupa for at least another two weeks.”
The talk show host further added, “He announced that at the request of Pakistan, which has been facilitating negotiations, he was giving Iran two weeks to live.” He continued, “This is how it goes every single time: Trump says something insane — he says, ‘I’m going to kill everybody tomorrow at 5 p.m.’ — we all freak out, and then he backs [down]. He’s like, ‘You know what? Actually, I’ll kill everyone in two weeks.’ And then we relax, and then he forgets he ever said it in the first place. He has the memory and the skin color of a goldfish.”
Kimmel pointed out how relaxed the Congressional Republicans were about the threat, given Trump’s big claims in the past.
Kimmel further brought to attention how former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, and his former communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, all called for Trump’s impeachment. “You know things are bad when the crazy people think you’re too crazy to be president. I mean, what a plot twist,” Kimmel added about this.
