‘I Just Want To Make Sure He Knows’: Jimmy Kimmel Hits Trump With 1 Brutal Truth

Jimmy Kimmel hit Donald Trump in one of the president’s sore spots on Thursday: his latest approval ratings. Trump, who is known to be especially sensitive to those numbers ― and has even sued over an unfavorable poll ― has watched as his favorability levels take a nosedive amid a cost-of-living crisis, the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and allegations of massive levels of corruption. “Trump’s approval numbers, like his testicles, have sunk to an all-time low,” Kimmel said, citing a new Economist/YouGov poll that finds the president at 34%. “He has the same approval rating as ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop,’” Kimmel said, citing the much-maligned 2009 Kevin James movie with a 34% on Rotten Tomatoes. And that’s not the only indignity hiding in the data. “He’s also two points behind JD Vance,” Kimmel said. “I don’t have a joke for that. I just want to make sure he knows he’s two points behind JD Vance.” See more in Kimmel’s Thursday night monologue: By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
