Jimmy Kimmel Mocked Donald Trump After Surpassing Him in Latest Approval Poll

Jimmy Kimmel had some surprising news for Donald Trump on Monday. A recent YouGov poll shows that the late-night host now has a 3% higher favorability rating than the president.

“I lead Trump by 16 points,” Kimmel joked on his show. “I’m at plus three, he’s at minus 13.”

Kimmel didn’t stop there, adding a playful dig: “At this point, finding a toenail in your salad has a seven-point lead over Donald Trump.”

He also referenced a statement from White House press spokesperson Anna Kelly, which claimed Kimmel “prays every night to garner a fraction of [Trump’s] support… Sad!”

“I like sad with an exclamation point,” Kimmel replied. “It would make a nice T-shirt with Trump’s face on it, wouldn’t it?”

Kimmel took another jab at Trump’s numbers, saying, “You know what else is sad? That the President of the United States has a lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea.”

The poll came in the wake of ABC temporarily pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air, a decision reportedly influenced by FCC chairman Brendan Carr, who was appointed by Trump. The move sparked public backlash, and the show returned with a major spike in viewership.

Kimmel also offered some humorous advice for Trump to boost his numbers. “I have an idea: release the Epstein files,” he said, pointing out that most Americans want them made public.

“Trump’s treating these Epstein files like a grumpy old neighbor on Halloween. He turns off all the lights and just hopes the trick-or-treaters will assume there’s nobody home.”

This segment shows Kimmel blending comedy and sharp political commentary while highlighting his influence in the media landscape.
