On Sunday, Israel officially declared war on Hamas militants in Gaza—one day after a surprise attack that killed hundreds. Though the political unrest between Israel and Palestine has been going on for more than half a century, making it one history’s longest ongoing political conflicts, an astounded Jimmy Kimmel reflected how Donald Trump is absolutely convinced none of this would be happening if he and his Diet Coke button were still occupying the Oval Office.
Describing the situation in Israel as a “nightmare” on Monday, Kimmel noted that: “Leaders from all around the world condemned the attack, as did millions of Americans—including our super-duper, pro-Israel former president Donald Trump. Who immediately found a way to make it about himself.”
Trump took to social media on Sunday when, in ALL-CAPS, the former president claimed that “THE HORRIBLE ATTACK ON ISRAEL, MUCH LIKE THE ATTACK ON UKRAINE, WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT — ZERO CHANCE!”
I never used to like Kimmel. I didn’t like him much on Win Ben Stein’s Money and I thought everything about The Man Show was unfunny, so I never watched him once he got a talk show, but I’ve been watching clips lately and the way he digs into trump is pretty amazing. And very funny.
But I’ll still never watch Fallon. He definitely isn’t funny. Reading the news slowly while slow music plays? That’s a joke?
Also, after the shit with Horatio Sanz, and knowing Fallon was like his bff and they probably did all that shit together (but Fallon is way too valuable to NBC so Sanz took the fall), he started to creep me out. I can’t see him now without thinking about that and it gives me the creeps.
