After cheerfully applauding President Donald Trump’s second impeachment on Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel had even more good news to celebrate on Thursday.
Not only has Trump started to move out of the White House, but the president’s mood has been described as “taciturn” and “vindictive” and he “is even attacking his main author of dirty deeds, Rudy Giuliani”. The host was referring to a new report from the Washington Post that Trump instructed advisers not to pay Giuliani for his failed legal efforts to overturn election results.
“Working for Trump and hoping to get paid is like dining with Chris Christie and waiting for a dog bag,” joked Kimmel. After noting that Giuliani’s fee is reportedly $ 20,000 a day, he added: “Money well spent.”
“He could have hired Gary Busey for a hundred dollars to do the same thing,” he added. “This is too much for an incompetent lawyer.” And then, “I wonder who leaked this story … Maybe it was Giuliani’s head!”
Perhaps hoping that he would not have the opportunity to make more jokes at Giuliani’s expense soon, Kimmel decided to leave everything on the table.
“Rudy Giuliani traveled around the world,” he said. “He stopped being the mayor of America and started to occupy the parking lot of a consoles store trying to dig up dirt for Trump. The only dirt he managed to find was coming out of his hair, but what does he gain from his problems? He was not paid for the work he did. “
And Giuliani is not the only member of Trump’s inner circle who was ceremoniously thrown under the bus. “Mike Pence had to bend over and stick his ‘evangelical Christian values’ into the little hole that God tries to forget,” said Kimmel. “Last week, his boss called him a ‘p-word’ and sent a mob of lunatics to kill him.”
“And then there’s Michael Cohen, who mortgaged his house to pay Donald Trump’s lover,” he continued. “What did he get? He was arrested. Watch out, Eric and Junior, you two are next! “
