Jimmy Kimmel Taunts Trump With Most ‘Devastating’ Part Of Legal Loss

Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that Donald Trump lost a big legal decision in his Jan. 6 case on Tuesday when a federal appellate court ruled he does not have immunity.

“Kind of a bummer,” Kimmel said sarcastically. “Poor guy drank all that bleach for nothing.”

Trump had claimed presidential immunity protects him from virtually all acts committed while in office, with his attorney infamously arguing he would even have immunity if he ordered the assassination of a political rival.

The former president plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, but Kimmel said the news had to have hit him hard.

“It was a devastating moment for Trump,” he said. “Especially when Melania started clapping.”

Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. dollar is by far the most-used currency in global business and has survived past challenges to its preeminence, members of the alliance and other developing nations say they are fed up with America’s dominance of the global financial system. Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy."
