Jimmy Kimmel under fire for mocking Trump's 'full diaper' in scathing monologue after guilty verdict
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel didn't hold back in his ridicule as he painted a vivid picture of former President Donald Trump with a "full diaper" after his conviction in his hush money trial.
The former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after a brief deliberation on Thursday, May 30, with sentencing scheduled for July 11.
Jimmy Kimmel couldn't stop gloating in monologue after verdict
Kimmel's monologue was delivered on a night when his fellow left-leaning comics Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers were absent. In addition to his jokes about Trump's legal woes, Kimmel also revealed that a viral moment involving a man holding a sign declaring Trump as 'Father Teresa' was staged by his show.
The former host of 'Man Show' wasted no time in reveling over Trump's conviction in Manhattan. "A big afternoon in New York and for the United States of America. We have the verdict in the case of The People vs OJ... er, DJ," remarked Kimmel. "Donald Trump is guilty of 34 felonies. After seven long weeks, the courtroom is empty and Donald Trump's diaper is full," he said.
Kimmel further joked about having to "rewrite the whole monologue" upon hearing the verdict, before humorously donning a judge's robe to reenact the scene with his sidekick Guillermo. Continuing his tirade against Trump, Kimmel entertained his audience with more jabs, saying, "Seven weeks of sleep-farting all down the train," and questioning when Trump would start bragging about his convictions.

He humorously speculated, "Maybe he isn't teflon, maybe he's one of those sticky, trapped ferrets. Maybe he's a wet pocket of gummy worms." Kimmel then played a clip of Trump's reaction, sarcastically remarking, "The only thing you're going to be fighting to win is the jello cup on your prison cafeteria tray." He also commended the Manhattan jury, joking, "We should automatically make those jurors the new Supreme Court."
Further taunting the Trump family, Kimmel noted the absence of Melania and Ivanka, highlighting only the presence of Eric Trump. He humorously imagined Trump whispering to Eric, "I wish this happened to you." The late-night host continued his mockery by playing clips of conservative reactions to the news, finding satisfaction in their dismay. He then delved into a lengthy segment showcasing exaggerated Trump fans' reactions to the verdict, revealing a staged viral moment involving a sign demanding they 'Free Father Teresa', orchestrated by his show.
Kimmel's relentless criticism of Trump comes as no surprise, given his history of outspoken opposition to the former president. Meanwhile, Trump, visibly perturbed after the jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, denounced the trial as "rigged" and expressed confidence the "real verdict is going to be November 5 by the people."
