Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has ridiculed Donald Trump for posting a meme of himself brandishing an assault rifle and wearing sunglasses, comparing the president to a 'fat John Wick'. The image, posted by Trump in the early hours of Wednesday, shows him in a hitman pose against a bomb-struck Middle Eastern backdrop with the slogan 'No more Mr Nice Guy!' and a caption warning Iran to 'get smart soon'.
On his show, Kimmel urged White House staff to lock Trump out of his phone during late hours, suggesting a Yondr pouch used at concerts. He questioned how the meme could intimidate Iranian leaders, joking that they might think the president had 'lost his marbles' and was 'cosplaying as fat John Wick'.
Kimmel also mocked the image's effectiveness, saying Trump looked like 'Rambo and Dumbo at the same time'. The remarks are part of an ongoing feud between Kimmel and the Trump administration, which escalated after a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump's FCC has since told ABC to renew its broadcast licenses early, citing a complaint over Kimmel's jokes.
