Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump on Thursday night, targeting one of the president's most sensitive areas: his approval ratings. Trump, known for his obsession with poll numbers and even suing over unfavorable surveys, has seen his popularity plummet amid a cost-of-living crisis, the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, and mounting corruption allegations.
Kimmel's Blunt Assessment
“Trump’s approval numbers, like his testicles, have sunk to an all-time low,” Kimmel quipped, referencing a new Economist/YouGov poll that puts the president at 34%. “He has the same approval rating as ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop,’” Kimmel added, comparing Trump to the 2009 Kevin James comedy, which holds a 34% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Further Indignities
But Kimmel wasn't done. He pointed out another humiliating detail: “He’s also two points behind JD Vance,” Kimmel said. “I don’t have a joke for that. I just want to make sure he knows he’s two points behind JD Vance.” The monologue continued with Kimmel dissecting Trump's declining political standing, highlighting the president's fragile ego and obsession with public perception.
