LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Renowned comedian Bill Burr, known for his unfiltered takes on various subjects, recently stirred controversy with his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Burr, whose wife was captured flipping double middle fingers at Donald Trump last month, didn't shy away from sharing his complicated political views.



 

Bill Burr politically hilarious take on Donald Trump

In a candid moment, he critiqued liberals for their handling of Trump, labeling them as "f**king stupid." When Kimmel sought clarification, Burr turned the accusation on the host directly, stating, "You should shut up! He's a narcissist!"

"I think he was a one-hit wonder, right?" said Burr, drawing a music analogy to 'one-and-done' music acts like Vanilla Ice.   Then, he criticized liberals for inadvertently turning him into a "martyr."

The comedian humorously predicted Trump's return, anticipating it to be "great for comedy!" Burr went on to express dissatisfaction with the limited presidential choices in 2024, expressing a desire for a candidate in their forties who would have to live with the consequences of their decisions, subtly mocking President Joe Biden, 81, who looks set to run for a second term, barring a major health scare.

As the audience cheered, Burr added a touch of dark humor, saying, "With any luck, they'll both die of natural causes before the election and maybe we can get somebody that still has something to live for."

"Wow, this year you’re not going to get a visit from Santa but you are going to get a visit from the Secret Service,” Kimmel quipped.

Netizens left in stitches over Bill Burr's Trump-Biden take

 A user tweeted, "Bill Burr is f**king hilarious @jimmykimmel" Another added, "Hardly, just sayin’ what the rest of the world is thinking!" A third claimed, "Bill Burr -You are not funny. Jerk. @jimmykimmel"



 



 



 

A user tweeted in defense of Kimmel's claim about secret service visting Burr, "Trump spews hate filled threats of violence and calls for his opponent’s executions constantly and he’s not a comedian. Bill Burr is a comedian Christ’s sake."

"I doubt he's concerned. His wife flipped trump off at UFC ffs," another chimed.
