LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel weighed in on President Biden's recent jest about former President Trump's financial woes, suggesting that it was a surprisingly sharp quip considering Biden's own reputation for verbal missteps.

During a speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden concocted a fictitious scenario where a financially troubled individual approached him for help, to which Biden replied, "President Biden:'I’m sorry, Donald, but I can’t help you.'" Kimmel, reacting to the clip, remarked, "That’s what we need. Pretty good one for a guy who can’t put two sentences together."

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trump's financial woes

Kimmel's comments came amidst discussions about Trump's recent financial setbacks, particularly the steep decline in his media company's share value. Highlighting the plummeting stock prices, Kimmel humorously presented a purported stock tracker for Trump Media & Technology, even likening the graph to a caricature of Trump's face.

"If you bought Trump stock two weeks ago, and shame on you if you did, you lost half your money, but if you hold on just a little bit longer you might be able to lose all of it," Kimmel joked, poking fun at the precarious situation faced by investors in Trump's media venture.

Trump Media & Technology Group's stock price took a nosedive of over 15% following the parent company's decision to sell millions of additional shares. Since its market debut on March 26, TMTG shares have plummeted by 60%, signaling significant challenges for Trump's Truth Social platform and associated ventures.

Social media reacts to Kimmel's commentary

Social media users have responded with a mixture of support, skepticism, and sarcasm to Jimmy Kimmel's recent commentary on Biden's jab at Trump's financial troubles.

One user wrote, "When do we say goodbye to jimmy."



 

Another added, "For once, Kimmel is right."



 

One user replied, "How did you end having a leader who can't put two sentences together! Make it make sense."



 

Someone else noted, "No, he said it was clever by a guy being accused of not being able to put two sentences together."



 

One user commented, "Just like Jimmy, someone else writes his jokes."
