Late-night hosts spoke about Donald Trump\u2019s attempts to transform the White House and how he was \u201ccashing in bigly\u201d on being president.<\/p>\n
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host spoke about Trump\u2019s \u201cgoon squad\u201d indicting his former national security adviser John Bolton while the president was still \u201cbrazenly lying about the economy\u201d.<\/p>\n
This week Trump also met with Vladimir Putin, something he bragged about on social media before claiming that he is the only president to have ended a war. \u201cAll the other wars ended mysteriously by themselves,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n
Trump also \u201cstill has his eye on the ballroom\u201d hosting an event for investors willing to help fund a renovation. Kimmel named a number of tech companies, including Meta and Google, who all \u201clined up to eat beef stroganoff and kiss his ass\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said it was like \u201ca demented version of Cinderella where the pumpkin is in charge\u201d.<\/p>\n
Trump has still been \u201ccashing in bigly\u201d on being president with his family earning $1bn in crypto alone over the last year. He has also continued to sell watches via adverts mainly shown on Fox News. \u201cTry to imagine Lincoln in front of a flag selling top hats,\u201d he said, before adding: \u201cTrump doesn\u2019t even wear a watch!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kimmel said there is \u201cso much greed and hypocrisy and duplicity\u201d in the party with the House speaker, Mike Johnson, still blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. Kimmel again noted that it was all a distraction from the Epstein files.<\/p>\n
This Saturday will see nationwide protests against Trump\u2019s authoritarian rule, and even though they are aiming to be peaceful, Kimmel said that on Fox they will be painted as \u201cviolent, vicious Antifa riots\u201d.<\/p>\n
The right has already been calling them \u201cHate America\u201d rallies and Kimmel joked that the January 6 insurrection was only a \u201cpatriotic walking tour\u201d.<\/p>\n
On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert also spoke about Trump\u2019s \u201cCinderella ballroom\u201d and the dinner attended by investors. He called it a \u201cbig dumb vanity project\u201d.<\/p>\n
Trump also wants a triumphal arch in the capital and has taken credit for designing it. \u201cWe\u2019ve had them for thousands of years,\u201d Colbert scoffed.<\/p>\n
Republicans have also been sharing videos depicting Chicago as a war zone using footage from other states. \u201cI can\u2019t believe that\u2019s what Chicago looks like now because it doesn\u2019t,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Colbert joked that if you wanted to reveal the horrors in the city, \u201cjust show a deep dish pizza\u201d.<\/p>\n
This week has also seen leaked chats from the Young Republicans group which have unearthed \u201cdeeply disturbing texts\u201d including support for Hitler.<\/p>\n
When Mike Johnson was asked about it, he denied it reflected the party\u2019s values. Colbert joked that if Johnson had a time machine, \u201cwould he use it to go back and kiss baby Hitler?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
