Donald Trump is Right "A WALL is a WALL!" In a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment, the host humorously examined President Trump's abrupt early-morning tweets, emphasizing his repeated insistence that "a wall is a wall." The episode, which aired as Trump was contemplating a national emergency declaration to pave the way for border wall funding, highlighted several absurdities in his statements.
Key Highlights
- 11 Tweets Before 10 AM: Kimmel noted that Trump tweeted an astonishing eleven times before 10 AM, likening his phone to a space heater due to his frantic tweeting activity. The focus of the tweets was primarily on the border wall, with Trump urging America to stop "playing political games."
- Wall Terminology: One of the most striking declarations made by Trump during his tweet storm was, "Let’s just call them WALLS from now on." Kimmel turned this definition into a comedy bit, joking about the simplicity yet earnestness of Trump’s argument.
- Absurd Claims: Kimmel also poked fun at some of Trump's more bizarre claims regarding immigration, such as suggesting the discovery of "Muslim prayer rugs" at the border. He pointed out that the White House publicly stated there was no evidence for these assertions, highlighting the disconnect between Trump's rhetoric and reality.
- Congressional Testimonies: The segment didn’t shy away from discussing Trump’s recent altercations with intelligence agencies, where he claimed their contradictory messages had been taken out of context. Kimmel expressed skepticism towards Trump's claims, emphasizing the televised hearings where officials reiterated their viewpoints unedited.
