Jimmy Kimmel criticized Trump for wanting flags at full-staff during his inauguration, ignoring the tradition of half-staff for a deceased president.
Kimmel was on his show when he mentioned how Trump wanted the flags at the Capitol to fly full-staff. This was a big deal because, traditionally, they stay at half-staff for 30 days after a president dies.
He joked that Trump was upset because President Jimmy Carter had just passed away. Kimmel said it was classic Trump to be mad about someone else getting attention. Carter died at 99 on December 29.
Kimmel even made a funny remark about Trump and flags, saying they raised the flags because they were worried Trump might “molest” them again. He shared some wild photos of Trump hugging flags too.
He didn’t stop there; he also took a jab at Eric Trump, saying wherever the flag pole ends up, Eric would have his tongue stuck to it.
Kimmel went on to talk about Trump’s new plans, like creating a government agency for tariffs, which he humorously named the External Revenue Service. He joked about how it’s from the same folks who brought us the Space Force.
Kimmel pointed out the irony of Trump wanting to make sure other countries pay their fair share when he himself paid just $750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017.
With Trump set to take office on January 20, it looks like Kimmel will have plenty to talk about for the next four years. Don’t forget, you can catch Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC weeknights at 11:35/10:35c.
