LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is known for his sharp wit and no-holds-barred approach to comedy, and recently, he set his sights on former President Donald Trump's latest business venture.

Trump, never one to shy away from the spotlight, has entered the world of fashion with the release of his Never Surrender High Top sneakers and Trump Victory 47 cologne. Kimmel, in his characteristic style, didn't pull any punches when offering his thoughts on these new products.

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Donald Trump for his new sneakers

Kimmel begins by introducing the Never Surrender High Top sneakers, humorously remarking that they are as subtle and tasteful as everything associated with Donald Trump.

The comedian playfully points out that the shoes are "bold, gold, and tough, just like President Trump – and leathery." In classic Kimmel fashion, he adds a comedic touch by stating they forgot to mention that the shoes are "also super limited, just like our former president."

Kimmel said, "Aren't these fabulous? This looks like something you'd wear on a flag day Mall walk with Mr T."

The comedian took a jab at Trump's attempt to appeal to the younger demographic, stating that if he wanted to buy shoes from a "mentally unstable racist," he would opt for a pair of Yeezys, at least because they "look kind of cool."

"And by the way, he's not just selling shoes; he's also selling... he's got new cologne, Trump Victory 47, with a golden head. It's like a dildo on top of a dildo, said Kimmel.

Jimmy Kimmel rips Donald Trump for promoting shoes at Sneaker Con

Kimmel cleverly weaves political commentary into his humor, addressing Trump's complaints about his legal battles being an infringement on his First Amendment rights. He humorously notes that amidst these trials, Trump still finds time to attend a footwear convention, questioning the priorities of the former president.

"This country is not doing so well. We're going to turn this country around fast... and we're going to remember Sneaker Con. You know that. We're going to remember the young people, especially that wear sneakers, right? That's right. Under Donald Trump, the young sneaker wearers shall be forgotten no more. You're all sneaker heads, right?"



 

The comedian also brings attention to Trump's call for bringing manufacturing back to the United States, speculating whether the sneakers are made in China or another foreign country.

He said, "I want to know where these sneakers of his are made. You know, there's no mention of it on the website. Usually, it says Made in the USA or made... He just gave a speech in Michigan saying we need to bring manufacturing back to the United States. What do you want to bet those sneakers are from China or some other country?"

Internet roars in laughter over Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious roast

Viewers expressed their delight in response to Jimmy Kimmel's comedic critique of Donald Trump's new ventures.

One user wrote, "You made me laugh right out loud over the sneakers and cologne! Wow, that woman could just be the new “Screech”."

Another added, "I love how you can always tell when he has learned a new thing because he repeats it several times to show you how smart he is. "Sneakerheads. They call you sneakerheads. You're all sneakerheads.""

One replied, "Santos, along with the Golden Sneeker Man, the comedy gift that keeps on giving........ HYSTERICAL delivery! ! ! !"

Another commented, "nobody, nobody can trash Trump better than Jimmy! "

One wrote, "Absolutely LOVE Jimmy Kimmel, he’s NOT afraid to tell it like it is re tRUMP. One, two punches, non stop! Thank goodness someone is."
