Jimmy Kimmel just delivered another ruthless takedown of Donald Trump — and it’s already making waves across social media and the White House.
During his latest late-night segment, Kimmel revealed results from a fresh poll showing his approval rating at 44%, while Trump trails behind at a bleak 41%. Never one to miss a comedic punch, Kimmel quipped, “I lead Trump by 16 points. I’m at plus three, he’s at minus 13.”
Of course, Kimmel didn’t stop there. Known for his trademark mix of humor and humility, he went on to roast both himself and the former president in the same breath. “Considering the fact that I’m not a convicted felon, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and I’ve never paid off a porn star or sent a team of masked goons into a park to pull an old lady away from her grandchildren… I feel like my rating should be higher, maybe even?” Kimmel joked. “At this point, finding a toenail in your salad has a seven-point lead over Donald Trump.”
The late-night host’s jabs were not just for laughs — Kimmel and Trump have a long history of back-and-forths. Trump has reportedly attempted to pressure networks into censoring Kimmel’s show during his presidency. And when Kimmel faced a brief suspension last month, Trump couldn’t resist mocking him online — only to fume later when the show made a triumphant return.
Naturally, Kimmel couldn’t resist poking fun at Trump’s sensitivity. “I hope he doesn’t see this,” he said with a smirk. “You know I don’t like to upset him, but I think he might be upset.”
The White House, unsurprisingly, didn’t stay quiet after the poll went viral. In a statement, a spokesperson fired back: “77 million Americans voted for Trump in last year’s election. Jimmy Kimmel prays every night to garner a fraction of that support to keep his show on air after ratings dropped 64 percent last week. Sad!”
Kimmel couldn’t resist mocking that last word. “It would make a nice T-shirt with Trump’s face on it, wouldn’t it?” he said, laughing at the idea. Then came his final punchline: “You know what else is sad? That the president of the United States has a lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea. That’s what’s sad.”
Kimmel’s latest monologue quickly became one of the most discussed moments of the night — showing that when it comes to roasting Trump, he still hasn’t lost his comedic edge.
