During Monday’s (6) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host made sharp comments about Trump’s remarks at the White House and the president’s Truth Social posts threatening the Iranian people.
“Yesterday, on Easter Sunday of all days, we woke up to this,” Jimmy Kimmel said, referring to Trump’s post in which he called Iranians “damn lunatics” and urged them to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Kimmel asked his audience to imagine a scenario in which a family was setting the table for Easter lunch while the children played in the backyard.
“Suddenly your 79-year-old grandfather stands up and screams: ‘Open the strait, you damn lunatics, or you’re going to live in hell. Just watch. Praise Allah.’ You’d put him in the car and drive him straight to the emergency room, right?” he joked.
The host then turned his attention to Trump’s White House speech, which he delivered alongside First Lady Melania Trump and a person dressed as the Easter Bunny.
“I have to believe this ranks among — if not at the very top of — the most absurd moments in the history of the White House Easter Egg Roll,” Jimmy Kimmel observed.
The president spoke about the war and how Iran is “hostile.”

“Can you imagine the new ayatollah sitting in his bunker, eating yogurt and potatoes, watching TV, and seeing this lunatic brag about blowing them up while, for no reason at all, standing next to a man dressed as a rabbit?” he said.
“Every time he talks, I wonder how Melania manages not to jump off that balcony in front of everyone,” Jimmy Kimmel said. In the speech, Trump also criticized former President Joe Biden and the “autopen.”
“He didn’t sign. He was incapable of signing his own name. So they followed him around with this big machine. Do you know what it was called? A pen that signed for him,” he said before asking the children “who liked fake news.”
“I find it very comforting to know that those tiny, very injured hands are at the wheel of this country,” Jimmy Kimmel lamented. Source
