Jimmy Kimmel recently took aim at Donald Trump's second term, asking, 'Has anyone ever done a worse job?' The late-night host didn't hold back as he dissected Trump's attempts to influence the upcoming midterms and highlighted the absurdity of it all.
Kimmel's Monologue: Trump's Midterm Meddling
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host opened with news that Republicans skipped town early this week to dodge a vote on whether to impeach the 'secretary of war,' Pete Hegseth. 'They're very good at dodging votes,' Kimmel noted. 'They did this a couple weeks ago to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files.' He continued, 'We are now 48 days from our president declaring a stolen election. He's trying every trick to try to steal it himself.'

Kimmel pointed out the Supreme Court foiled Trump's plan to stop mail-in voting, so now he's offering $5,000 to every adult if the Republicans win. 'Only if they win. Which is crazy – also crazy that he would give us our own money as some kind of a gift,' Kimmel joked. 'Also, remind me, aren't Republicans the people who are always screaming about handouts?'
The Hypocrisy of Handouts
Kimmel then rolled clips of Trump and conservative commentators decrying Democrats who, to quote Hannity, 'take your hard-earned money and use it to buy power and votes for themselves.' The irony was not lost on Kimmel or his audience.
Kimmel's Verdict: A Disastrous Second Term
Summing up the chaos, Kimmel added, 'Those of us who did not vote for Donald Trump assumed he would be even worse the second time around, but even I had no idea he'd be this bad. Has anyone ever done a worse job with anything?' He then quipped, 'Kitty and Jose Menendez did a better job of par...' leaving the audience in stitches.
Kimmel's monologue is just the latest in a series of late-night takedowns of Trump's second term, with hosts like Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers also weighing in.
