Donald Trump and the White House appear to be moving past the election, yet they have not ceased targeting Jimmy Kimmel. The late-night host addressed the most recent critique during Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“After the election, the White House returned to its familiar habit of attacking me,” Kimmel said. “I received another statement from White House spokesperson Davis Ingle, which read: ‘Jimmy Kimmel’s case of Trump Derangement Syndrome is so advanced that it has completely rotted his peanut-sized brain. He’s far more entertaining when you’re laughing at him than with him. But unfortunately, his real talent is his failing ratings.’”
“Sick burn, bro,” Kimmel responded. “You should consider a rap career with lines like that.”
He continued, “Trump now has interns insulting me. It’s reminiscent of the day your cat becomes too heavy to chase mice. This person claims I have a peanut-sized brain. Let me clarify something: I know you’re young. That’s impossible. Do you know what happens when you try to operate a full human body with a peanut-sized brain?”
Kimmel then aired a clip of Trump delivering a speech in which he pronounced “human genome” as “human g-nome.” “You start saying things like that,” Kimmel remarked. “He has a brain like a p-nut.”
The host went on to describe Trump’s current demeanor: “I don’t believe we are ready for the volume of chaos this drama-queen president is about to unleash. Right now, Donald Trump is like a raccoon in a duffel bag. He has been cut off at the cankles. There are two possible directions he could take. First, he could withdraw entirely—no more meetings, frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago, plenty of golf with someone following behind the cart, and the occasional Super Bowl team visit. That would be the best-case scenario.”
However, Kimmel warned of a worse outcome. “Scenario two is that he loses control entirely—think Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Everyone working for him gets dismissed. He turns against anyone who might succeed him, whether it’s Lil Marco, JD Vance, or even his own son. If Don Jr. decides to run for president, his father will say and do anything to destroy him. He wants to ensure that no one but himself ever lives in the White House again. He might even demolish the rest of it, for all we know.”
He concluded, “They will have to wheel him out of the Oval Office in a straight jacket and mask, like the late great Hannibal Lecter.”
Trump and Kimmel have traded insults for several years. While hosting the Oscars in 2024, Kimmel read one of Trump’s Truth Social posts during the ceremony, saying, “Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching. I’m surprised you’re still up—isn’t it past your jail time?” Trump later called Kimmel a “dope” and “one of the dumbest human beings ever.” Last month, the president referred to Kimmel as a “loser” during a rally, prompting Kimmel to point out the rally’s sparse attendance.
