Jimmy Kimmel Spanks Trump With A Timely Issue 'That Will Really Set Him Off'

Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump probably wasn’t too pleased to see the latest issue of Time magazine, which features Elon Musk sitting behind the Oval Office’s Resolute Desk.

“This is the kind of thing that will really set Trump off,” Kimmel said as he showed off the image:

Trump, he said, had a “petty” reaction when asked about the cover.

“Is Time magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that,” Trump said, a go-to line of attack similar to one he used against HuffPost over the weekend.

“He’s only aware of magazines he’s been spanked with by a hooker,” Kimmel said.

That’s a reference to a claim by porn star Stormy Daniels that she had an affair with Trump and spanked him with a magazine that had his picture on the cover.

Trump has denied the affair.

Kimmel also wasn’t buying Trump’s claim that he didn’t know Time was still around and rolled footage from two months ago of Trump thanking the magazine for naming him its Person of the Year for 2024.

Kimmel said Musk likely knows how much the image bothers Trump as he rushed to do “a little damage control.” Musk tweeted: “I love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man.”

Kimmel interpreted that as “a way of saying, ‘daddy please don’t be mad at me, please don’t deport make back to Pretoria’.”
