Jimmy Kimmel Unloads On Disastrous 'Plan' Behind Trump's Tariff Madness
HuffPost
The late night host skewered conservatives for spinning the president's shifting trade strategy.
Jimmy Kimmel tore apart right-wingers on Thursday for arguing that Donald Trump’s market-nauseating tariffs were part of the president’s master “plan.”
“Not only doesn’t he have a plan, he doesn’t understand why he did this. Maybe he did it to distract us from all the other horrible stuff,” said Kimmel of Trump, who has paused his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on most countries — except China — for 90 days.
“Maybe he did it to distract us from the fact that they’re deporting college students and firing the people in charge of fighting disease and fires and he’s attacking judges and journalists and lawyers. He’s taking lunch and life-saving medications away from children who need it.”
He added, “Not to mention helping his buddy Putin crush Ukraine and menacing Canada and Greenland of all places. The fact is we have a monkey flying the plane right now and almost half the passengers are like, ‘I think the monkey’s doing a good job.’”
Kimmel ripped Trump for “calling out numbers like he’s working a bingo hopper” with his shifting taxes on imports before turning to clips of conservatives who spun the president’s tariffs as a strategic move.
