Trump Always Gives Two Weeks After Delaying Iran Strike
In his Tuesday night monologue, Jimmy Kimmel tackled the recent ceasefire between the United States and Iran, highlighting President Donald Trump’s negotiating tactics. Kimmel humorously pointed out the familiar pattern of Trump making outrageous statements, then extending deadlines or changing his stance.
Referring to Trump’s decision to delay military action against Iran at Pakistan’s request, Kimmel quipped, “He announced that at the request of Pakistan, he was giving Iran two weeks to live. This is how it goes every single time.” He compared Trump to a “conscientious employee” who always gives two weeks’ notice before taking action.
The late-night host also poked fun at Trump’s tendency to promise more information or action in two weeks, playing a series of clips to drive home his point. Kimmel then turned his attention to a statement from press secretary Karoline Leavitt, sarcastically remarking, “And I don’t even believe he knows that.”
Kimmel didn’t hold back when discussing Trump’s threat to decimate Iranian power plants, joking that it would be a war crime under the Geneva accords. He mocked Trump’s statement about not allowing a country with “demented leadership” to have nuclear weapons, humorously suggesting that Trump should “lock yourself up right now.”
The monologue ended with Kimmel urging viewers to watch the entire segment, highlighting the comedic take on the tense situation between the US and Iran. Overall, Kimmel’s humorous commentary shed light on Trump’s unpredictable behavior and the delicate diplomatic dance between nations.
