Jimmy Kimmel has taken aim at Donald Trump once again, this time for breaking a key campaign promise and making a glaring spelling error. On his late-night show, Kimmel mocked Trump for celebrating rising oil prices amid tensions with Iran, despite promising to lower gas prices below $2 a gallon.
The host read a Truth Social post from Trump in which the president claimed that higher oil prices benefit the US as the world's largest producer. Kimmel quipped, 'The man who campaigned on the promise he would get gas prices under $2 a gallon is now trying to convince us that higher prices are better.' He added, 'You hear the term “gaslighting” a lot, but rarely when it comes to actual gas.'
Kimmel also highlighted a spelling mistake in Trump's post, where the president wrote 'stoping' instead of 'stopping' while referring to Iran. 'That’s right. He’s “stoping” the evil empire. He really is the “stopidest” president of all time,' Kimmel joked.
Later, Kimmel criticised Trump for spending time with YouTuber Jake Paul amid global instability. A video showed Trump and Paul fist-pumping to 'YMCA', prompting Kimmel to launch a new segment titled 'Real Moments in Presidementia'. The segment featured clips of Trump in Kentucky, including a mispronunciation of the state and a request for 'someone with a warm body'.
