The Ratings Flop That Has Jimmy Kimmel Talking
In a bold move, Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump's recent hosting gig and its disappointing ratings. But here's where it gets controversial... Trump had some big talk beforehand, boasting about his hosting skills and predicting huge ratings. So, what happened?
Kimmel, in his signature witty style, addressed the president's low-rated appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors. He reminded viewers of Trump's bold statement: "If I can't beat out Jimmy Kimmel, then I don't think I should be president." Well, the numbers are in, and it seems Trump's ratings fell flat.
"Let's face it," Kimmel said, "Trump's performance was a dud. It's time for him to keep his word."
And this is the part most people miss: Trump's ratings weren't just low; they were the lowest in the history of the Kennedy Center Honors telecast. Ouch!
Kimmel continued, "As I recall, he said he'd step down if this happened. So, back to Mar-A-Lago you go, Mr. President!"
But wait, there's more. Trump, ever the showman, had some choice words for Kimmel beforehand, calling him "horrible" and questioning his talent. Little did he know, his own performance would be the subject of such criticism.
In a recent interview, Trump even predicted the negative reviews, saying, "They'll say he was horrible."
Kimmel also couldn't resist poking fun at Trump's unique take on Santa Claus and his Christmas Day greeting to Americans, which included a mention of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein.
"Leave it to Trump to wish himself a Merry Christmas," Kimmel quipped.
So, what's your take on this? Do you think Trump should keep his word and step down, as he suggested? Or is this all just a bit of holiday fun and games? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
