Jimmy Kimmel talks about Donald Trump’s negotiations with Iran
Jimmy Kimmel, who faced criticism after joking that Melania Trump had the glow of an “expectant widow” shortly before the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, has continued criticizing the president during his monologues.
With Melania and Donald Trump publicly criticizing Kimmel and calling for his firing, the late-night host recently mocked the president’s negotiations with Iran by comparing them to bad sex.
“But this is how he does it. For him, a negotiation, it’s like sex,” Kimmel joked during Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “He’s bad at it. It mostly consists of flailing around. And he can only do it for a short amount of time before he starts yelling that he’s finished.”
Throughout the segment, Kimmel discussed recent developments involving the conflict and mocked White House reports suggesting that a deal could arrive soon. “The details of this supposed deal are still very much in flux,” Kimmel said. “As in, what the flux are we doing over there?”
Kimmel also referenced reports about a proposed agreement with Iran that could reportedly include a uranium enrichment moratorium lasting more than 10 years. He compared the reported proposal to the Obama-era nuclear deal that Trump criticized in the past. “And now he’s going to top it by making an even worse worst deal in history,” Kimmel said. “It’s called ‘The Art of the Deal.’ Folks, you should read the book.”
During the same monologue, Kimmel also mocked the different terms used by members of the Trump administration to describe the conflict.
