In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel mocked former President Donald Trump for comparing himself to Mother Teresa in light of the ongoing criminal hush money trial. Trump had claimed that even Mother Teresa wouldn’t be able to escape conviction in his situation.
The trial, which began deliberations on Wednesday, has been filled with drama, including the absence of Melania Trump and the appearance of Hollywood star Robert De Niro. Trump himself called the trial “rigged” and expressed doubt about his chances of escaping conviction.
Kimmel, known for his sharp wit, joked about the comparison to Mother Teresa and the absurdity of the situation. He also poked fun at the Trump family, including Melania and Donald Trump Jr, who gave a defiant speech outside the courtroom.
As the trial continues, late-night shows like The Tonight Show and The Late Show are on hiatus, but Jimmy Kimmel Live! is still filming. Kimmel has been following the trial closely and even joked about committing a crime to be incarcerated with Trump if he is found guilty.
Overall, Kimmel’s commentary on the trial has been both humorous and insightful, providing a unique perspective on the unfolding events in the courtroom.
