Jimmy Kimmel slammed Donald Trumpâs astounding Charlottesville press conference on Tuesdayâs âJimmy Kimmel Live,â branding the president as a âtotal disaster.â As Gossip Cop reported, Trump argued that âboth sidesâ of the clashes in Virginia were to blame for the violence, prompting the late night host to call on Trump voters to admit they âmade a mistake.â Watch the video below!
During his 12-minute-long opening monologue, the talk show host discussed Trumpâs astonishing press conference, in which he struggled to condemn white supremacists in the wake of the Charlottesville protests. âIt started as a press conference about infrastructure, and ended with our President making an angry and passionate defense of white supremacists. It was like if your book club meeting turned into a cockfight. It really was remarkable.â Kimmel added, âI think I can say this with reasonable certainty, the president is completely unhinged. The wheels are off the wagon and hurtling towards the moon.â
And in a direct plea to Trump voters, Kimmel said, âI want to speak to those of you who voted for Donald Trump. And first of all, I want to say I get it. I actually do. Youâre unhappy with the way things were going. You wanted someone to come in and shake things up. You didnât want business as usual. Nothing ever seems to get done. Itâs always the same. These candidates make a lot of promises that go nowhere. It happens over and over again. And youâre sick of it.â
He continued, âBut the truth is deep down inside you know you made a mistake. You know you picked the wrong guy. And it isnât getting better. Itâs getting worse. Well, now he does need to go. So itâs time for especially you who voted for him to tell him to go. Please.â âAnd Iâm asking you, the people who supported Donald Trump to him to step in and help for the good of this country,â he concluded. Watch Kimmelâs full monologue below.
