Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers took aim at Donald Trump's behavior at the G7 summit, his reported peace deal with Iran, and a geographical blunder involving Qatar.
Jimmy Kimmel on Trump's G7 Conduct
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host criticized Trump for showing up 45 minutes late to a meeting with world leaders and introducing himself as "the boss." Kimmel remarked, "They must hate him so much, right? Can you imagine the conversations that go on behind his back?"
Kimmel added, "Trump's behavior at the G7 is increasingly childish each time he goes. These other foreign leaders, I feel sorry for them, dealing with him. It's like opening up a can of soda that got shaken up: you know it's gonna spray, but all you can really do is aim it away from your face."
Turning to the Iran deal, Kimmel mocked Republicans who called it a "tremendous foreign policy blunder," giving Tehran power to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. He quipped, "Dagnabbit, we got Hormuzled!"
Kimmel also highlighted Trump's description of the deal as "very strong," saying, "That's how you describe the smell of a dead person before you find the body." He recapped: "We killed the ayatollah and replaced him with a younger, more radical ayatollah. We did nothing for the protesters in Iran. We used up billions on bombs and missiles. Many lives were lost. We gave Iran full control of the Strait of Hormuz and threw in $300 billion. Right now, Melania's wondering, 'How do I get a deal like that?'"
Kimmel concluded, "It just goes to show you: there's no problem that Trump can't make worse. The one area in which the war's been a rousing success is it did take our attention away from the Trump-Epstein files. But don't worry, the second it is really over, we will get right back into that."
Seth Meyers on Trump's Press Conference and Geography Blunder
On Late Night, Seth Meyers focused on Trump's press conference where he claimed to see war "maybe better than anyone has seen it." Meyers responded, "There's maybe a couple of people who've seen it better. Off the top of my head: soldiers. When they say they've seen war they don't mean in 4K."
Meyers also mocked Trump's comment that the Iran deal "should" open the Strait of Hormuz entirely. "It should? I know you haven't released the deal, but have you also not read it? It's one page long. Are you waiting for the audiobook?"
In a meeting with the Emir of Qatar, Trump erroneously said he could walk across the border between Iran and Qatar, which are separated by the Persian Gulf. Meyers groaned, "Oh no, he thinks he's Jesus again," referencing AI-generated images of Trump as a God-like figure.
Meyers also noted Trump's renovations to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, which became covered in algae days after reopening. "Yikes, I thought Trump had dementia, but now I think it might be malaria. Move over, Strait of Hormuz – we got bigger water problems right now! This looks like the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, brought to you by Mountain Dew."
In a lighter note, Meyers mentioned a Texas woman suing McDonald's for a sausage McMuffin described as "wholly unfit for human consumption." He joked, "Well, yeah... It says that right on the sticker."
