Jimmy Kimmel Jokes Trump Was “This Close” To Complimenting Harris’ “Nice Rack” When Struggling To Name Her “Virtues” At A Town Hall
Jimmy Kimmel railed against Donald Trump on Live for brandishing a garbage truck during a campaign stop in Wisconsin earlier this week.
The late night host called the move “ridiculous” and taunted the former president to viewers, saying, “The not-so-great pumpkin got a head start for Halloween.”
But Kimmel also wanted to highlight just how much trouble Trump had climbing into the truck in a moment that has now gone viral.
“Let’s have another look at our hero struggling to get into that truck in this iconic moment,” he said. In an impersonation of Trump, he then added, “Ugh, greasy fingers. I found some fried chicken in the back.”
Trump appears to have gotten the truck in response to President Joe Biden calling his supporters “garbage,” a comment which Biden has been receiving flack for.
But Kimmel did not hold back as he taunted Trump for the publicity stunt, noting he also held a press conference from inside the truck before later attending a rally in the high-visibility vest.
“The garbage is driving the truck,” he joked.
He later poked fun at Trump’s legal troubles. “That vest will come in handy when he’s on the side of the highway picking up trash with the other inmates,” he joked, earning raucous applause from the Live audience.
Earlier this week, Kimmel admitted in an impassioned plea to Republican voters that he can certainly be “biased” against the former president.
“We are a week away from an election and we are very divided, not just because of Donald Trump but because of people like, if I’m being honest, me,” he said. “I do a lot of mocking and belittling and it isn’t always productive. Am I biased against Donald Trump? Yes. Do I think I have reason to be biased? Yes.”
He then highlighted the holes in Trump’s platform and complained that Trump likely will not concede if he loses this presidential election. “This is ridiculous. How could we even have an election if whoever loses won’t accept the results?” Kimmel asked.
Jimmy Kimmel Live airs on weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
