Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at President Joe Biden's recent visit to Los Angeles, which worsened the city's notorious traffic congestion. Kimmel humorously compared the slow traffic to the pace of the president, joking about the tension of watching Biden walk down stairs. Biden's visit to LA was primarily to raise funds for his re-election campaign, with a playful suggestion by Kimmel that he may seek Steven Spielberg's expertise in de-aging, akin to Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movie.
In a lighthearted yet political segment, Kimmel highlighted Biden's directive to his aides to emphasize the "crazy comments" made by his rival, President Donald Trump. Referencing "Operation Crazy Shit," Kimmel quipped about the unconventional campaign strategies in this modern election era. Trump's recent appearance at a Fox News town hall revealed potential running mates on his shortlist, including Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kristi Noem, Byron Donalds, and Tulsi Gabbard. Kimmel humorously criticized the selection, comparing it to a second-hand store bargain.
Trump's commentary on a civil fraud case ruling in New York drew criticism, as he equated it to the situation with Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who tragically died in a Russian prison. Trump's mention of the fine, amounting to over $350 million with interest, raised speculation about his financial maneuvers to evade payment, including the possibility of bankruptcy or seizure of Trump Tower by the New York attorney general, Letitia James.
Jimmy Kimmel's comical take on Biden's LA visit and Trump's political moves entertained viewers and highlighted the ongoing dynamics of the 2020 election cycle.
