'America's No 1 Bible salesman': Jimmy Kimmel shreds Donald Trump for comparing himself to Jesus
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: In a recent monologue, Jimmy Kimmel dished out his signature blend of humor and commentary on the latest happenings in American politics and pop culture.
Amidst the Easter weekend, Kimmel wasted no time diving into the religious and political spheres, with some pointed jabs at ex-president Donald Trump.
Kimmel mocks Trump's Bible post and Lara Trump's musical ambitions
"Holy Saturday. America's number one Bible salesman somehow found time to post this," Kimmel quipped, setting the tone for his commentary on former President Donald Trump's recent activities.
"The crucifixion of Donald Trump," the former POTUS's post read.
The host then drew parallels between Trump's actions and the biblical narrative, humorously saying, "That's right you know Jesus was treated unfairly too. Some say the second most unfairly in history."
Kimmel couldn't resist poking fun at Trump's infamous photo op, where he held a Bible upside down. "Only Donald Trump would repost a photo of himself holding a Bible upside down," he quipped.
But the real comedic gold, according to Kimmel, came from Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who serves as a co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
Kimmel hilariously recounted Lara Trump's foray into the music scene, dropping new music on the same day as Beyonce.
"Autotune doesn't work on everybody," Kimmel joked, poking fun at Lara Trump's musical abilities.
Kimmel couldn't resist delving into the absurdity of Lara Trump's purported goal of releasing one new song every week until she achieves her goal of marrying her father-in-law.
"That was not an April Fool's joke, by the way, that was a real thing," Kimmel clarified.
Social media abuzz with laughter over Kimmel's jabs
Kimmel's statements sent social media into fits of giggles, as users flooded timelines with humorous reactions and playful jests.
One person wrote, "I’d vote for a boiled egg over Trump."
Another said, "A stable genius who can’t read is selling a book to a demographic that can’t read either."
Someone else noted, "Trump comparing himself to Jesus? I hope this is just another April Fools' joke."
"Trump has never stepped a foot in a church for the right reason!!" said one person.
"If he’s Jesus then who am I????????" another quipped. "I truly enjoyed that april fools joke," said someone else.
