Late-Night Comedians Criticize at Donald Trump’s Lawsuit Moves and Maga Narrative
On his Tuesday show, the ABC host addressed Donald Trump’s latest defamation suit against the renowned newspaper for $15 billion.
“Where does Trump even dream up such figures?” Kimmel joked. “It’s like the kind of thing my kids make up when talking about riches.”
Kimmel also pointed out the irony in taking legal action against a media outlet the president has often claimed is “in decline.”
Kimmel predicted that the lawsuit will likely not succeed, commenting that the legal filing itself comes across like “an extensive self-congratulatory list” of Trump’s TV and event credits.
Capitalizing on Tragedy
Meanwhile, the late-night host shifted the focus to the way some Maga-aligned voices are reacting to the murder of podcaster a conservative figure.
He specifically called out statements by a political figure, who claimed without support that “most of the lunatics in American society now are proud members of the radical left.”
“And by ‘data-driven truth’, he really means ‘a lie’,” Kimmel fired back.
He further brought up the deletion of a federal analysis that previously shown right-wing groups as the leading source of domestic terrorism in the United States.
The Late Show Host Jokes About the President’s British Visit
On his program, the CBS host celebrated the show’s first Emmy win then turning to Trump’s ongoing state visit to the United Kingdom.
Colbert noted that Trump was staying a surprisingly discreet presence, avoiding large-scale events and remaining mostly inside the castle.
Demonstrators, though, managed to get attention by revealing a giant banner featuring an past image of Trump with Epstein.
“What are they going to do with it once Trump’s state visit is done?” Colbert quipped. “Perhaps ‘Kids, we have a new gym equipment for this week’s activities.’”
Seth Meyers on Trump’s Business Deals
The NBC host focused on a investigative piece that uncovered how the Trump allegedly made approximately massive profits through cryptocurrency transactions with the United Arab Emirates.
In exchange, the Emirati government gained access to advanced processors.
“That sounds obviously corrupt,” he stated, imitating the president’s tendency to deflect to talk about his presidential event space when questioned about controversial topics.
The host also mocked the president for warning an foreign journalist that Trump would report him to the Australian prime minister.
“That’s such a petty threat,” Meyers laughed. “Does he think he can intimidate an Aussie? People there live with creatures the dimensions of dinner plates.”
Although the drama, Meyers noted that the president’s popularity numbers are at an all-time low, suggesting that the majority of Americans do not backing his actions.
