Jimmy Kimmel Calls for Donald Trump to Resign Amid Republicans’ Midterm Elections Losses: ‘Quit Already … Nobody Wants You’

• Comments

Jimmy Kimmel predictably roasted U.S. President Donald Trump and the Republican party in his late-night monologue on Wednesday following the Democrats’ big win in the midterm elections.

In what’s been coined a “blue wave,” the Democratic party took control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Tuesday’s elections, and also flipped governorships in Texas, Ohio, Iowa and Georgia. After celebrating the victory, Kimmel turned to Trump and his claim that if he were on the ballot, the Republicans would have won more races.

“That is such crap,” Kimmel responded. “You were on the ballot. You’re like dog hair; you’re on everything. You’ve infected every nook and cranny of our lives. You divided this country like no one else ever divided it before. The only time you ever brought us together was yesterday, when we all teamed up to get rid of you!”

Pointing out Trump’s own changes between political parties over the years, Kimmel said that he “has no allegiance to anyone or anything” and the “only party he leads is the slumber party.”

“The verdict is in, and there’s only one thing left for Nappy Gilmore to do: Resign,” Kimmel said. “Quit already, just quit. Nobody wants you. Even you don’t want to be president anymore. Take that billion dollars worth of crypto, buy an island. Maybe Epstein’s island? Wouldn’t that be a perfect end to this story!”

Kimmel then took the time to acknowledge a statement the White House put out about him in response to his monologue on the eve of the elections. “Jimmy Kimmel is a no-talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings and by spewing disgusting lies to his dwindling audience,” the statement from White House spokesperson Danny Ingle reads. “He is so devoid of actual talent that nobody with any common sense would ever watch him unless it was to laugh at him.”

Kimmel fired back: “Which is kind of the point of the show, but apparently I’ve beclowned myself once again. And that, by the way, almost word-for-word the same statement they’ve issued about me two times in the past year. I got a third beclowned, which I think is the last warning.”

But Kimmel delivered the ultimate zinger when referring to being called a “no-talent loser,” saying: “The last thing I want to do is tell you how to do your job, Danny Dingle, but today seems like a bad day for you to call me a loser.”
