The Daily Beast • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Trump for retracting his threats to bomb Iran, highlighting the president's shift from aggressive rhetoric to extending a ceasefire.
- Trump initially warned of bombing Iran if demands were unmet but later announced on Truth Social that military action was paused at the request of Pakistani leaders due to Iran's internal divisions.
- Kimmel used the acronym TACO ("Trump Always Chickens Out") to satirize Trump's perceived inconsistency on foreign policy and criticized White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's claims that Trump "does not bluff."
- The comedian pointed out contradictions between Trump's ceasefire extension and Leavitt's assertion that Trump always follows through on his promises, citing other unfulfilled pledges by the former president.
- Kimmel concluded with a quip questioning the reliability of Trump's word, comparing it humorously to a "gold commode."
