URGENT UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel has delivered a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump, mocking him for having his “ego bruised” following a recent award snub. During a Live! monologue last night, Kimmel highlighted how Trump’s reaction to missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize has been nothing short of furious.
Kimmel’s comments come in the wake of Trump’s apparent disinterest in supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who recently accepted a different honor, the FIFA Peace Prize. Insiders close to the former president revealed to The Washington Post that Trump’s refusal to back Machado is directly linked to her acceptance of this award.
According to two White House sources, Trump believes Machado’s decision to accept the FIFA Peace Prize undermines his own aspirations for recognition. An insider stated, “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today.”
Kimmel seized on this narrative, suggesting that Trump’s bruised ego is preventing him from engaging in meaningful dialogue with Machado. He quipped, “She won the Nobel Peace Prize, but Trump said, ‘she’s a nice lady, but she doesn’t have the respect to run the country.'”
The comedian continued to lampoon Trump’s situation, pointing out that the former president’s reluctance to share accolades reflects a deeper issue: “Sharing is caring, and he doesn’t do that either. You can’t just give someone your Nobel Prize; as far as I know they’re non-transferable, you can’t re-gift them.”
Kimmel also addressed the controversy surrounding Trump’s health, referencing visible bruising on the former president’s hands. He linked it to Trump’s claims about his aspirin intake, jesting, “At this point, his blood is even thinner than his skin.”
This latest mocking segment has resonated widely, sparking discussions online as viewers react to Kimmel’s portrayal of Trump’s ongoing struggles with his public image.
As the situation develops, many are watching closely to see if Trump will respond to Kimmel’s remarks or take action regarding his stance on Machado. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
