Late night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump's habit of posting AI-generated images of himself, including one depicting the former president cradled by Jesus. 'You know he thinks artists make these?' Kimmel quipped on his show Wednesday night. 'He thinks they're paintings for real; he doesn't realize this is an AI thing. And check out the chin and cheekbones on him. Someone's been looksmaxxing!'
Kimmel also addressed Trump's recent Fox News comments blaming the UK's economic downturn on wind turbines. 'What is it with him and the windmills?' Kimmel asked. 'Every problem comes back to windmills. Every day I become more convinced that Trump's father used to beat him with a miniature golf club in the shadow of a windmill.'
The host mocked Trump's claim that he ended eight wars in his first year of a second term, saying: 'That's right. Every war in history is still going on because no one ever ended one, except him.' Kimmel also joked about a 'rough week' for JD Vance, who failed to make a deal in Iran and defended Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, branding reports of their friendship a hoax. 'Oh, now it's clear,' Kimmel said. 'They weren't best friends, they were just extremely horny acquaintances together.'
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert discussed the closure of 645 7-Eleven stores in the US due to declining consumption among low-income households. 'Yes, that's how bad things are in America,' Colbert said. 'Folks can't afford to eat at 7-Eleven. What's next, are Americans going to be forced to limit themselves to a Sensible Gulp?'
Colbert also addressed Trump's AI image of himself as a Jesus-like figure, noting that conservative Christians are not buying it. 'Clearly, Trump is in danger of losing his key demo: goateed meat daddies,' he joked. On Vance's advice to the Pope on theology, Colbert retorted: 'Hey, JD, I know you're Catholic, but you joined in 2019. I've been genuflecting since the mid-1960s. I think you're out over your Catholic skis here.'
