Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday tore into President Donald Trump for his sore-loser approach to this week’s midterm elections, in which Democrats took both the House and Senate and made historic gains nationwide.
“In the face of defeat, he is doing what he does best: blaming everyone other than him,” Kimmel said, pointing out that Trump blasted Fox News for covering Democrats and claimed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was responsible for his own loss.
“Oh, shut up! Just shut up, please!” Kimmel said. “Give us a break for one day and shut that ridiculous mouth. You are such a spoiled child. Did you ever learn anything about manners or sportsmanship or simple common decency?”
Kimmel pointed out that Republicans lost in deep-red states, including South Carolina and Texas, where Trump himself hand-picked the candidates. Yet Trump insisted the losses occurred because he wasn’t running for office this year:
Kimmel said the results speak for themselves.
“That is such crap! You were on the ballot. You’re like dog hair. You’re on everything. You’ve infected every nook and cranny of our lives,” he said. “You divided this country like no one ever divided it before. The only time you ever brought us together was yesterday when we all teamed up to get rid of you.”
Kimmel thanked those who had previously voted for Trump but then turned against him to vote for Democrats in the midterms. And he blasted Republicans who have stayed loyal to Trump ― only for him to blame them for their losses.
“Now you see he has no loyalty to anyone other than himself. He isn’t just gonna throw you under the bus. He’s gonna drive it. He’s gonna run you over and then put the bus in reverse and do it again. He’s gonna go backward and forward over your body until you are Silly Putty on the road because he cannot admit that anything is his fault!”
“I wish his parents were alive today so we could put them in jail for what they did to him – and to us,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel also offered Trump some blunt advice.
“Resign,” Kimmel said as the audience cheered. “Quit already. Just quit. Nobody wants you. Even you don’t want to be president anymore.”
He then urged Trump to buy an island for himself with his crypto money.
“Maybe Epstein’s island,” Kimmel said. “Wouldn’t that be a perfect end to this story?”
