Jimmy Kimmel Criticizes Trump with Unfavorable ‘All-Time’ Ranking
In a recent commentary, Jimmy Kimmel sharply criticized former President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding rising gas prices. During Trump’s tenure, gas prices have surged, prompting Kimmel to highlight the disconnection between Trump’s perspective and the reality faced by everyday Americans.
Trump’s Claims on Oil Pricing
Trump, addressing the increase in oil prices amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions with Iran, stated on social media that the United States remains the largest oil producer globally. He argued that rising prices benefit the country economically.
Kimmel’s Response
Kimmel countered Trump’s assertions by emphasizing that most Americans struggle with higher gas prices rather than profiting from them. He recalled Trump’s earlier campaign promise to lower gas prices to under $2 per gallon, describing the current situation as ironic.
- Kimmel commented, “The man who campaigned on the promise he would get gas prices under $2 a gallon…”
- He added, “…is now trying to convince us that higher prices are better.”
Addressing Typographical Errors
In his post, Trump also referred to his intention to confront what he termed the “Evil Empire,” specifically targeting Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Kimmel seized this opportunity to humorously point out a typographical error in Trump’s statement, where he wrote “stoping” instead of “stopping.”
“He really is the ‘stopidest’ president of all time,” Kimmel quipped during his Thursday night monologue.
This commentary underscores Kimmel’s ongoing critiques of Trump, particularly regarding his understanding of economic issues affecting the public. As rising gas prices continue to be a hot topic, the gap between political rhetoric and public experience remains evident.
