Oh my God! I thought Kimmel was joking about Trump. He wasn't.

For anyone still wondering, it got covered by the New York Times, USA Today and Variety.

1. No way TRAITOR** wrote that.

[SoFlaBro]

21. The stupid fucking Orange Turd wrote the whole goddamn thing. He is a fucking turd. Piss on that turd.

[niyad]

25. I think you misunderstood me. I know the thing was real, I just think

miller or somebody actually wrote it. Everything spelled correctly, commas used correctly, etc.

[rzemanfl]

32. Don't you think the first sentence should have ended with a question mark?

[niyad]

58. Why? It was a statement, not a question.

[rzemanfl]

64. "Has there ever.." sounds like a question to me.

[niyad]

65. Perhaps you could have indicated to which statement you were referring.

[rzemanfl]

66. I should probably have indicated I was referring to what you didn't think TFG

wrote himself. Watching the Oscars left me sleep deprived, that, and being older than dirt is not a good combination.

[SoFlaBro]

48. If that shit was grammar perfect, then there is no goddamn way that orange motherfucking turd wrote the fucking shit.

[niyad]

59. Exactly!

[littlemissmartypants]

50. He's definitely being intellectually propped up and coached.

I suspect that predictive text may be helpful here and it's giving his posts the loose appearance of authenticity. But he's definitely being coached. He can't think straight so he couldn’t possibly compose complete and coherent statements otherwise.

[forgotmylogin]

56. This is totally in his wheelhouse, I believe.

This is Trump's "I'm a clever comedian reading a person" mode; his normal meandering overloaded thought process which happens before late night ketchup-throwing, all-caps fury.

Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST

✔ Capitalization

than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.

✔ Missing question mark

His opening was that of a less than average person

✔ Obvious "polite" euphemism likely dog-whistling a phrase he'd rather use

trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.

✔ Conjunction pileup

Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,”

✔ Conjunction pileup
✔ "sarcasm quotes"

George Slopanopoulos.

✔ Bully nickname

He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.

✔ Trump obsession with appearance, size, physical perception

Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years - Disjointed, boring, and very unfair.

✔ Stray mid-sentence "[superlative] in history" tangent (though oblique)

Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them.

Like...they do?

Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths.

✔ Magical fantasy world

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

✔ All-caps slogan.

Someone may have apathetically proofread this for him, but it's totally Trump.

[Trueblue1968]

2. Shut the crap up Dirty Diaper Rapist Donald !!!!!

[ChoppinBroccoli]

3. "Replace Him With Another Washed-Up But Cheap ABC Talent"

Are you applying for the job, Donnie? Oh wait, The Shitty Apprentice was on NBC. Either way, it's yet another job you won't get in the next year.

[FakeNoose]

20. Chump could never be in a regular TV series, he can't read or follow a script

The only reason he was able to continue on The Apprentice was that Mark Burnett enabled him. They just let him blather on and on with the cameras rolling. Once he was done the showrunners (Burnett and others) edited out the racist and sexist stuff and tried to make a show out of it. Everyone else had to follow a script but Chump COULDN'T do it.

Why didn't they just fire his ass, since he was so terrible? I'll never understand it.

[PJMcK]

30. Bizarrely, the show got good ratings

The Shitty Apprentice ran for 12 seasons! As you wrote, it as Burnett and his team that edited the material into a coherent show.

Coherency is far outside Trump’s abilities.

It still amazes me that millions of Americans can’t see through Trump’s BS. We live among the mentally and morally unwashed.

[SouthernDem4ever]

67. Social media tried to pretend that all his fans were pissed off

the only pissed off assholes I saw were either dumb magats or russian bots - other than Donald Dump.

[onecaliberal]

4. Rapist said what?

[DaBronx]

5. I thought it was a joke as well.

Unreal

[Tree Lady]

6. Me too but sounded like

something he would say. His people were probably watching Truth Social to see if he said anything, he might have even had the joke planned if he did. Or someone told him and he just went for it.

[William769]

7. TFG is a legend

in his own mind.

[Tumbulu]

8. I thought it was a joke as well

Wow, the t45 stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

[Lie-Detector-General]

9. Isn't it past your Jail Time?

Isn’t it past your Jail Time?

Enough Said. Perfect for a Bumper Sticker,
T-Shirt, Flag, and plenty of Billboards!

Thank You,
Jimmy

[William769]

10. Welcome to DU.

[soldierant]

11. I second the motion.

and welcome indeed.

[ificandream]

12. Welcome aboard. Great first post. :)

[NanaCat]

16. I'd buy that on a bumper sticker.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

55. "MAGA" text block, topped by yellow swoopy hair...

And "Isn't it past his jail time?" after.

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, Lie-Detector-General!

It's nice 'n' short, and sweet!

Wouldn't it be great to see bumper stickers with that message start turning up in random places EVERYWHERE from coast to coast?

I wouldn't be surprised if bumper stickers like that were already being produced.

[Lie-Detector-General]

34. Everywhere from coast to coast?

I totally agree that these type of messages need to
be both random and front and center.

The only stripes that Trump should be representing,
are the ones on his incarcerated jump suit.

[malaise]

23. Brilliant

Rec

[niyad]

26. Welcome to our DU family.

[Lie-Detector-General]

38. Welcome to our DU family.

Thanks for Welcoming me to the DU family.

Living in Texas it’s hard for me not to bite my tongue
among Friends, Family, and Associates.There is obviously more to people than politics for me.

But it’s definitely refreshing to be part of a community that gets what is so obvious. That
a Grifting Conman has captured so many, and for what? Vanity, Greed, Money, and Supreme Power.
His Lies have already done damage worldwide.
Trump’s alternate reality is dividing this Country.
And if he is elected in November he will rewrite the rules and laws that I (we) hold so dearly.

Again, Thanks for the DU Welcome.
Like minded thoughts are as refreshing as the Truth!

[musclecar6]

37. Agreed

That was a perfect response that Kimmel came back with, that exposed him to ridicule, which he so richly deserved. In case you missed it Donny, they were laughing AT you, not with you.

[Marthe48]

39. Welcome to DU

[bdamomma]

42. Welcome to DU!!!

Isn't it past your Jail time??? that is a question that all of us would like to know.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

49. Welcome to DU

[littlemissmartypants]

51. Welcome to DU, Lie-Detector-General. ❤️

[Cha]

13. Lol... Jimmy got a few K LIKES!!

[Mme. Defarge]

14. So did I!

[NanaCat]

15. Thank you, Mr Kimmel

When you have an audience like that, use it against that ugly, fascist slob.

[FalloutShelter]

28. PS: Shitler, NEVER heckle a comedian

with a live mike on an international broadcast.

[Sugarcoated]

17. Oh man

Jimmy Kimmel's the best! 🔥😅👊

[calimary]

19. He did well last night!

LOTS of giggles! NICE work!

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. But wait, there's more

"washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous."

Get it? George Stephanopoulos is SHORT!

"Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years - Disjointed, boring, and very unfair."

"Very unfair" - This coming from a 77 year old self described billionaire. Sounds more like a 12 year old that got grounded.

"Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths."

They decide by taking votes from academy members. Results are tabulated and kept secret until awards night. Voting - you know, like we do for President.

"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" - Because he can't make a statement without closing with his lame ass slogan.

[Justice matters.]

60. It's not even "his" lame ass slogan... he "stole" it from lame ass reagan.

Lying, stealing, bullying, and projecting are the orange hitler's "specialty" developed through seven decades and seven years.

[malaise]

24. That one line won the metaphorical best political

Comment Oscar for the night

[Emile]

27. Kimmel's reply got the best laugh of the evening.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. TSF bloviating once again and got his trap shut for him!

A cultural turning point in this election year. Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel!!!

[Lovie777]

31. Oh snap................................

great come back.

[brewens]

33. Talk about blowing up in your face! LOL What a dumbfuck. He has to be really pissed now! What a bad week.

First Joe and the Katie shitshow and now this! LOL

[bdamomma]

44. good he needs

a few more nails ................................ or keep digging that hole bigger.

What a loser.

[CincyDem]

35. Interesting to note that many of the X posts with this video fail to include the "jail time" closing

Once again, typical RW selective editing.

[cab67]

36. Never get into a zinger throw-down with a comedian.

[Lie-Detector-General]

40. Jimmy hit it out of the park!

The “Biggest by Far” Laugh of the night!
Not only the appreciative audience in attendance,
but think about the “ Bigly” size of all the viewers from their homes.

Priceless!

[Mad_Dem_X]

41. I thought he was joking, too.

That was an AWESOME comeback from Jimmy!

[Rob H.]

43. "...(W)e don't have Stars anymore - except your President...."

Does he think he's still President, or was that an inadvertent compliment for Pres. Biden? Because the way his brain has been turning to pudding lately it could be either one.

[Old Crank]

45. Don't heckle commics

They will eat you up and send you home crying.
They have heard it all more than once and know every comment you could make and half a dozen zingers to hit you with.

Even Biden who is not a comic can take care of GOP hecklers with aplomb.

[republianmushroom]

46. Way, way pass his jail time, Jimmy, but thanks to foot dragging he's here.

37 months and counting

[LetMyPeopleVote]

47. BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel has inspired Trump's latest grift: "It's Past My Jail Time" T-shirts.

Link to tweet

[underpants]

53. Well, he needs money.

He’s willing (or unaware) to be the butt of the joke.

[Silent Type]

52. Great response from Kimmell. I watched sporadically last night. Was somewhat surprised at the lack of political

comments, up to that point. I may have missed some.

[onetexan]

54. Good punchback Kimmel. The Con took the bait & got suckerpunched

[CTyankee]

57. Didn't Drumpf also once say Meryl Streep was "overrated"?

[LymphocyteLover]

61. SAME!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

62. Holy Cow!

He looks like he's behind bars in his profile pic.

[PortTack]

63. Kimmel's response was perfect! He's sooo jealous. He has no talent..no political skill

[Blue Idaho]

68. Terrific gut punch to TFG

Followed by howling laughter from a room full of Hollywood elites. All on live TV. That had to hurt!
