'First Time In History!': Jimmy Kimmel Trolls Trump With A Dubious 'Natural' Honor
HuffPost
The late night host called out the president for threatening to withhold disaster relief aid from California.
Jimmy Kimmel isn’t ready to welcome President Donald Trump, who will visit Los Angeles on Friday to see the damage left by a series of devastating wildfires.
“He’s here to blame us for the fires in person,” Kimmel said. “It’s the first time in history that a natural disaster will be visited by an even bigger natural disaster.”
He added that the president might have an ulterior motive for leaving Washington so early in his presidency: “to get away from Elon [Musk] for a couple of days.”
Trump and other Republicans are threatening to withhold disaster relief aid from California unless they get political concessions from the state.
“On one hand, you might think, oh wow, what a truly, only a despicable human being would use disaster relief money as a bargaining chip. But on the other hand... ” he said. “There is no other hand. It’s just that hand. It’s just that grubby, grabby little hand of his.”
