On Sunday, Israel officially declared war on Hamas militants in Gaza—one day after a surprise attack that killed hundreds. Though the political unrest between Israel and Palestine has been going on for more than half a century, making it one history’s longest ongoing political conflicts, an astounded Jimmy Kimmel reflected how Donald Trump is absolutely convinced none of this would be happening if he and his Diet Coke button were still occupying the Oval Office.
Describing the situation in Israel as a “nightmare” on Monday, Kimmel noted that: “Leaders from all around the world condemned the attack, as did millions of Americans—including our super-duper, pro-Israel former president Donald Trump. Who immediately found a way to make it about himself.”
Trump took to social media on Sunday when, in ALL-CAPS, the former president claimed that “THE HORRIBLE ATTACK ON ISRAEL, MUCH LIKE THE ATTACK ON UKRAINE, WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT — ZERO CHANCE!”
Kimmel is a sleeper.
I will say, I find him to be very funny, just, as a comedian, going back to Win Ben Stein’s Money, the Man Show, and Crank Yankers.
He’ll be going along being funny and then suddenly get deadly serious, but still funny. Like mixed in with his light insult comedy is some serious insults, very offensive to the person to whom they’re directed.
