Jimmy Kimmel mocks Donald Trump’s ‘dumbest’ rant that made 'Fox News cut him off'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel spotlighted what he dubbed the "dumbest" rant ever from Donald Trump, focusing on a bizarre new conspiracy theory involving Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump recently claimed, without evidence, that Harris never worked at McDonald’s. “She never worked at McDonald’s. It’s a lie,” Trump asserted. “She said she stood over those French fries when they were being fried. It was so tough for her, she never worked there, she’s a liar, she’s a liar.”
Jimmy Kimmel riffs on Trump’s latest absurdities
Jimmy Kimmel expressed his bewilderment over Trump’s fixation on this unfounded claim. “You can see how personal this one is for him,” Kimmel remarked. “I don’t even know why he says she’s lying about this. I mean, who would lie about working in McDonald’s other than to say, I never worked at McDonald’s?”
The McDonald’s theory wasn’t the only bizarre topic Trump addressed. Kimmel highlighted Trump’s tendency to veer into odd subjects, stating, “Trump went on and on, rambling about the dumbest, nothing topics, to the point where even Fox News had to cut him off.”
Kimmel further elaborated on Trump's recent press conference from his golf club in Palos Verdes, where Trump not only reiterated his baseless claim about Harris but also indulged in other strange rants.
“Donald Trump was actually here in LA over the weekend,” Kimmel noted. “He had a press conference from his golf club in Palos Verdes where the scam burglar doubled down on one of his favorite new lines of attack.”
Trump's rambling speech: from public toilet costs to celebrity mix-ups
Trump’s rambling included complaints about various unrelated topics. For instance, he criticized a public toilet installation project, saying, “The government is so incompetent that it costs 1.7 million to install a single public toilet in San Francisco. They built a toilet for 17 million and it’s not even nice.”
Kimmel humorously recounted Trump’s misidentification of Latin music star Nicky Jam's gender during a rally, where Trump said, “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where is Nicky? Thank you, Nicky. Great to be having you here.”
Jimmy Kimmel slams Trump’s erratic claims
In addition to these bizarre moments, Kimmel mentioned Trump’s erratic behavior and outlandish claims. For example, Trump had posted on Truth Social, “I hate Taylor Swift,” a statement Kimmel described as an irrational reaction to Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
“I was thinking about it, I want to kind of go through and visualize the thought process that went into thinking this, writing this, and posting it,” Kimmel mused.
The late-night host also addressed Trump’s spreading of false information about Haitian immigrants. “This is a man who for the past week has been spreading a complete lie that he knows is a lie, saying Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio,” Kimmel said.
“Two elementary schools were evacuated today in Springfield because of threats to children.”
Kimmel’s critique emphasized the absurdity of Trump’s recent rhetoric and the challenges even his media allies face in handling it. “He’s got his minions and his stupid son doing it too now,” Kimmel added, referring to Trump Jr's promotion of the nonsensical claims. “Don’t expect rational discourse anytime soon.”
