On October 9, the host of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* took the opportunity to poke fun at President Trump for his efforts to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
“I’ve seen a lot of campaigns for Oscars and Emmys, but I’ve never seen anyone fight so hard for an award,” Kimmel said, while showing a montage of photos of Trump talking about the prize.
On X (formerly Twitter), the official White House account called Trump “The President of Peace.”
Kimmel used that statement to mock the president, referencing his attempt to deploy the National Guard to quell protests in the state of Oregon.
The host joked that the “president of peace” was “sending a platoon to storm a yoga studio in Portland right now.”
