‘He should drink bleach’: Jimmy Kimmel amps up Trump feud with fresh barrage of cutting remarks
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During his recent monologue on ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' host Jimmy Kimmel intensified his ongoing dispute with former President Donald Trump by delivering a new round of biting comments.
Kimmel, known for his unapologetic wit, spared no punches as he took aim at Trump's recent legal troubles and political endeavors.
During Wednesday's episode, Kimmel promptly mocked Trump's underwhelming primary performances and his pursuit of presidential immunity amid increasing legal hurdles.
Jimmy Kimmel's cutting commentary on Trump's bizarre preferences
Starting with a clip of Trump's notorious statements, Kimmel mocked the former president's preference for being electrocuted over being eaten by a shark, establishing the tone for the remainder of his monologue.
Referring to Trump's ongoing financial struggles and legal obligations, Kimmel remarked, "The Great White Supremacist has until Monday to come up with a $464 million bond, or the state may seize and sell his property."
He didn't shy away from criticizing Trump's efforts to seek absolute immunity, humorously suggesting that Trump might also be seeking immunity from chlamydia "just in case."
Continuing his sharp critique, Kimmel highlighted Trump's argument for immunity, sarcastically noting, "But it turns out the guy who bragged to Billy Bush that he could do whatever he wants thinks he should be allowed to do whatever he wants."
He didn't miss the opportunity to underscore the irony by stating, "But if Donald Trump wants immunity, he should drink bleach like he told us to do when we wanted immunity."
Kimmel's take on Trump's primary wins and escalating feud
Kimmel didn't spare Trump's recent primary wins from his scrutiny, joking about Trump's lackluster performance and diminishing support from Republicans in crucial states.
Kimmel's persistent jabs at Trump originate from their ongoing feud, reignited during Kimmel's hosting of the Oscars, where he countered Trump's criticism of his performance with a sharp remark about Trump's legal troubles.
The feud escalated when Trump, in a Fox News interview, criticized Kimmel's intelligence, adding fuel to the public dispute.
He said,“I said, ‘this guy’s even dumber than I thought.’ The thing went viral. It’s been all over the world now, and all he had to do is keep his mouth shut.”
