MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel didn't hold back from poking fun at Donald Trump's latest political claims, particularly his comparison of himself to President Abraham Lincoln regarding their supposed treatment of the Black community.

Trump made these assertions during a campaign stop at a Chick-fil-A in Georgia, stating, "I've done more for the people of Atlanta than any other president by far. I've done more for the Black community than any other president since Abraham Lincoln — and maybe including Abraham Lincoln, frankly."



 

Jimmy Kimmel pokes fun at Trump's Chick-fil-A visit amid hush money trial

Reacting to Trump's statement during April 10 night's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' monologue, Kimmel couldn't help but express his disbelief. "Who is this person?" he exclaimed.

He added, "The fact that he's able to say the words, 'I've done more for the Black community than maybe Abraham Lincoln,' and then not start laughing hysterically, it's incredible. He might as well be saying, 'I am a Black person.' It would be equally preposterous". 

Donald Trump today took a break from trying to derail his porn star hush money trial and made a surprise stop at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta,” Kimmel recalled.

The late-night host also drew attention to a televised exchange between the 45th president and what appeared to be a supporter.

He then said, “He likes to go into fast food restaurants and buy everyone food like a big shot. He bought 30 milkshakes and some chicken and then started passing it around. One young woman in attendance at the Chick-fil-A became an immediate fan". 

In the video, the young woman was seen saying, “I don’t care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump. We support you", before hugging the former POTUS.

 

“We took care of the Black colleges, the universities,” Trump then noted, adding, “They’re taken care of now and she understands it, a lot of people don’t understand it. Biden did nothing for them and I did everything. I did everything".

"If Trump was asked to name one black university he would say that he doesn't want to single out just one because it's personal and there are just so many really good ones out there", another comment conveyed.
