'The Real State Of The Union': Jimmy Kimmel Gives 'Nutjob' Trump A Sharp Reality Check

Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday delayed his show’s taping so that he could respond directly to President Donald Trump after the State of the Union speech. But Trump went on for so long ― at 1 hour and 48 minutes it was the longest address to Congress ever ― that Kimmel had to start his show with the address still in progress.

“The speech went on so long, Kristi Noem’s dog shot itself,” Kimmel cracked.

“They do need to hire an orchestra to play him off like the Oscars,” Kimmel suggested. “At the stroke of 90 minutes, go straight into ‘YMCA’ and end it.”

He then offered a much shorter take on where the nation stands a little more than one year into Trump’s second term.

“Here’s the real State of the Union, OK? We have a nutjob wannabe king who’s doing everything he can to censor opinions he doesn’t want to hear. He has his goons arresting, incarcerating and killing American citizens. He’s cut funding for cancer research and children’s hospitals while he rakes in literally billions of dollars for himself and his family. He’s coming after our right to vote. He’s protecting pedophiles and won’t explain it. He’s lining the pockets of billionaires, all while neglecting the sick, the poor, the hungry in the name of Jesus, by the way, who you could read all about in a Donald Trump edition of the ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ that is made in China and available for $99.99. That is the State of the Union.”

That covers it succinctly.

I’m happy I didn’t watch.

Of hot chocolate with marshmallows and Valentine heart cookies that I’d forgotten to bake. I watched cat shorts on YouTube and laughed myself silly.
