UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel’s latest monologue targets Donald Trump, claiming the president’s ego is “bruised” following recent snubs, including missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize. Kimmel’s urgent remarks come just hours after insiders revealed Trump’s refusal to support Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she accepted the prestigious award.
During last night’s episode of Live!, Kimmel addressed the audience with humor and sharp criticism, asserting that Trump has been acting out due to the perceived slight of not receiving the Nobel recognition. He emphasized that even an alternative FIFA Peace Prize would not satisfy the president’s desire for validation.
Kimmel noted, “If she [Machado] had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today.” This statement reflects the growing tension as Machado continues to challenge President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
Two White House sources confirmed to The Washington Post that Trump’s reluctance to back Machado stems from her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kimmel quipped, “She won the Nobel Peace Prize, but Trump said, ‘she’s a nice lady, but she doesn’t have the respect to run the country.'”
The late-night host further ridiculed Trump for his lack of engagement with Machado, stating, “So how did she react to that? Why, she went straight to [Sean] Hannity to offer it up. Sharing is caring, and he doesn’t do that either.” Kimmel humorously added that “you can’t just give someone your Nobel Prize; as far as I know, they’re non-transferable.”
Kimmel’s jabs extended to Trump’s physical state, referencing recent photos where the president showcased bruised hands. He remarked, “At this point, his blood is even thinner than his skin,” suggesting that the pressure of the political spotlight has taken a toll on Trump’s well-being.
As the fallout from these comments continues to develop, Kimmel’s critique underscores a significant moment in U.S. politics, with implications for international relations and the ongoing crisis in Venezuela. The growing discourse around Trump’s perceived ego and its potentially damaging effects on diplomatic efforts is now at the forefront of public attention.
