Donald Trump, the “second George Washington?”
Maybe to Sylvester Stallone. Jimmy Kimmel, not so much.
“George Washington was the father of our country,” Kimmel said during his Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue last night. “Donald Trump is the father of Eric. Big difference there.”
Kimmel didn’t stop there.
“I guess those punches Rocky took to the head were real after all,” Kimmel said.
Rocky star Stallone was speaking at a Mar-a-Lago gala last Thursday when he made the presidential comparisons that were, to say the least, hyperbolic. “When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world,” Stallone said during his introduction of the president-elect, “because without him, you can imagine what the world would look like. Guess what, we got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”
Also during Kimmel’s Monday monologue, the host took aim at the now infamous photo of Trump, RJK Jr., Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. on Trump’s airplane eating McDonald’s. “There’s a lot going on in this photograph,” Kimmel said. “This is like the Last Supper but everyone is Judas. Little Elf on a Shelf Mike Johnson popping his head in there, health czar RFK with a Quarter Pounder with cheese, 10 McNuggets, large fries and a Coke. That’s what they call a farm-to-toilet meal.”
Kimmel added, “Only Donald Trump would force his new health czar to eat McDonald’s. That’s what he does. These are subservience tests he gives. Mike Johnson has to go to a fight, RFK has to eat McDonald’s, Matt Gaetz has to date a woman he didn’t pay…Poor JD Vance was at home on his couch. Excuse me, at home in his couch.”
Watch the monologue above. The Stallone jokes arrive at the 5:36 mark.
