Jimmy Kimmel recently addressed President Donald Trump’s response to the Los Angeles wildfires, pointing out that the president is still discussing “sending water to California” nearly a month later. Kimmel expressed his views on Trump’s approach to problem-solving during his opening monologue on Live.
The late night host aired some of the recent comments Trump made about the Los Angeles wildfires, some of which Kimmel pointed out were false.
According to Kimmel, Trump has a tendency to address issues by either creating new problems or by tackling non-issues. Kimmel humorously highlighted Trump’s statement about sending water to California, suggesting that it would benefit farmers and even reach areas like Los Angeles with water restrictions.
He then aired a clip from a recent press conference that showed Trump claiming the “water is flowing in California” now after his efforts.
The audience reacted with laughter to Kimmel’s remarks, showing their amusement at his commentary on Trump’s relief efforts and problem-solving strategies.
“That’s right we have curfews on water, all water has to be in bed by 10 o’clock,” Kimmel quipped. He then poked fun at Trump for claiming it would “wetten the land.”
“Here’s the thing, I know if you don’t live in southern California, you probably assume there must be some little shred of truth to the story he just told,” Kimmel explained. “There’s not. We have no limits on water, there’s no curfews on water, and the only thing he’s ‘wettened’ is the diaper he puts on everyday.”
Kimmel’s brutal roast of the president earned some cheers from the Live audience.
The late night host explained that Trump technically released reserves of water that farmers were saving for the drought season.
“He released that when they didn’t need it,” Kimmel said, adding that “it’s all part of [Trump’s] plan to make sure groceries cost a million dollars a month.”
He continued, “But thank you for the water, Mr. President, we love it. We’re literally bathing in it right now.”
