Jimmy Kimmel’s response to a recent poll showing Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden in critical swing states was direct: “How is this possible?”
During his talk on Wednesday’s episode of his ABC show, Kimmel mentioned how numerous former associates have criticized Trump, joking that Trump “is not even leading in a poll of people who worked for him.”
What caused Kimmel such a “headache” was a poll released earlier Monday by the Wall Street Journal that asserts Trump is polling in front of President Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. And this prompted him to note how many people don’t feel the same way. “His own former Vice President – said, ‘I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump,” Kimmel said, adding, “here’s what you should be paying attention to.”
“His long-time former lawyer, Michael Cohen, says ‘Donald’s an idiot.’ “His former Defense Secretary Mark Esper stated, ‘I think he’s unfit for office.’ His other former Defense Secretary said he’s the ‘first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people. He tries to divide us.’ Former Chief of Staff John Kelly mentioned that Trump ‘has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our constitution, and the rule of law,'” Kimmel said.
Next Kimmel noted how former Attorney General Bill Barr stated Trump “shouldn’t be anywhere near” the presidency, Rex Tillerson criticized Trump’s understanding of foreign policy, and his own former national security adviser commented that he has an “absence of leadership.”
“Another former National Security Advisor mentioned that foreign leaders think he is a ‘laughing fool,'” Kimmel continued. “His former Communications Director labeled him ‘the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.’ His former Press Secretary stated: ‘I am terrified of him running in 2024.’ His former Homeland security adviser called him 'An utter disgrace.'”
Kimmel wrapped up this segment with a joke pertaining to Stormy Daniels: “And his former golf trip sex partner mentioned he has a ‘dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart.’ I mean – what more do we NEED to hear?”
“All the ‘best people’ think he’s the worst.”
Watch the monologue above now.
