Jimmy Kimmel Takes Aim at Trump in Fiery First Show Back

Kimmel marked his 4,000th episode with a monologue that said Trump spent $20 million and still failed to fix the Reflecting Pool.

  • On Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live for his 4,000th show, using the monologue to assess President Donald Trump's summer accomplishments.
  • Kimmel noted that when he left in June, the nation faced high gas prices, conflict with Iran, and a neglected Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
  • The host quipped that little had changed, citing the pool's poor condition and Trump's posts suggesting to rename New Mexico as New America.
  • Mocking the president's online behavior, Kimmel observed that Trump posted 37 times on Sunday, sharing claims about the moon and selling Lake America hats for $55.
  • While Kimmel joked that he and Trump have "one thing in common" by accomplishing nothing, the president faces mounting political friction as Election Day approaches.
