In a scathing critique, Jimmy Kimmel recently took aim at Donald Trump, labeling him a “dumb dumb” and humorously suggesting he might need a “walk-in bath.” This comes on the heels of a suspension controversy that occurred less than a month ago.

During his Wednesday night monologue, Kimmel zeroed in on Trump’s contentious decision to deploy the National Guard to cities such as Portland, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois.

He drew on a recent article from the Daily Beast, which referenced insights from independent news source Zeteo. The article highlighted concerns among Trump’s aides regarding the strong influence Fox News seems to exert over him.

Kimmel joked, “Trump officials became concerned when Trump asked if he could get a reverse mortgage on the White House in one of those Terry Bradshaw walk-in tubs.”

This quip alluded to an old commercial featuring Bradshaw, who endorsed Safe Step Walk-In Tubs in a memorable advertisement.

Kimmel then joked about reporting that claimed Trump decided to send troops to Portland because he saw footage on Fox News depicting unrest in the city during Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, which he mistakenly believed was from this year. 

The tirade comes just weeks after Kimmel returned to the air following his suspension by ABC over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 

Kimmel has since apologized for the remarks and this time, took aim at the president.

Kimmel called Trump a ‘dumb dumb’ and said the president needed a ‘walk-in bath’ like the one that football legend Terry Bradshaw once advertised

In a phone interview with NBC News a few weeks ago, Trump revealed that he spoke to the governor and she was ‘very nice.’ 

‘But I said, “Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?’ he added. 

Kimmel didn’t hesitate to take a shot at Trump’s apparent confusion over what was being depicted on television, answering the president’s rhetorical question: ‘Yes, dumb dumb, you are.’ 

‘You’re on a five-year delay from the rest of us,’ Kimmel joked, which was met with cheers and laughs from his live studio audience. 

‘I mean, it’s no joke,’ he continued. ‘Trump’s inner circle knows just how dangerous the incessant misinformation from Fox News can be because they all worked there 10 months ago,’ referring to Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, among others. 

‘It is frightening to know that the President of the United States is being briefed on world events by the same source as everyone at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Chili’s to-go,’ Kimmel added. 

Kimmel then turned serious, slamming the administration for sowing chaos throughout American cities as a justification for increased military presence. 

Kimmel joked that Trump didn’t know the difference between archival and live footage 

Kimmel then cut to videos submitted by viewers depicting tame scenes in Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles 

He cut to a montage of his viewers filming themselves in Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago, mocking the administration’s claims that these cities are dangerous. 

Trump has repeatedly threatened and carried out orders to send the National Guard across the US to stop crime. 

The president first deployed troops over the summer to Los Angeles after protests broke out in the city against deportations. 

California officials widely protested the guard’s presence, and the state sued the Trump administration for exceeding legal authority by sending troops without the governor’s consent. 

Later in the summer, Trump sent hundreds of National Guard members to Washington DC after declaring a ‘crime emergency’.

The move resulted in further intense backlash and prompted the District of Columbia to file a lawsuit to end the deployment. 

In recent weeks, Trump activated National Guard troops in Portland, and Hegseth mobilized members in Chicago. 

Local and state governments in Oregon and Illinois have joined in and filed lawsuits against the administration for the deployment.

Last week, Kimmel skewered the president in a sarcastic rant praising the president for sending troops to ‘prevent an entirely fabricated crisis’.

‘Thank you for sending troops to occupy all of these Democrat-run cities, whether we want them or not. And we do not,’ he added. 

Fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert also torched the decision, saying in a recent monologue: ‘History will never forget the battle of Portland when we freed the citizens from the tyranny of overpriced donut shops and white ladies with dreadlocks named Raindrop.’

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart also joked about Trump’s decision to send troops to Portland: ‘Did I miss Vancouver attacking Portland in a fierce battle of mellow artisans? Don’t shoot ‘til you see the whites of their cold foam half-caffe latte art!’
