Washington, DC – Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel and former President Donald Trump engaged in a war of words this week, with Kimmel poking fun at Trump and the former president firing back on social media.
Kimmel delivered a monologue on his show, mocking Trump, which prompted a social media response from the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. In his rebuttal, Trump called Kimmel “stupid” and criticized his performance as the host of the Academy Awards, alleging that Kimmel had stumbled through announcing the Best Picture award.
However, Trump’s claim was found to be false as it was actually legendary actor Al Pacino who announced the Best Picture winner at the Oscars, not Kimmel. Furthermore, Kimmel responded to Trump’s mix-up by humorously referencing Trump’s self-proclaimed “stable genius” status.
The back-and-forth between Trump and Kimmel reflects the ongoing verbal sparring between the two presidential campaigns, with both sides pointing out each other’s mistakes. The Biden campaign even joined in, mocking Trump on social media for his latest error.
As of now, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign has not responded to requests for comment on the matter. This story will be updated with any additional reactions or developments in the future.
