“I would move into Mar-a-Lago if I could, just to drive [Donald Trump] insane,” said the late-night host<\/p>\n
\n\tSorry, \u201cMAGA<\/a> Gang,\u201d but Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> has no intention of packing his bags and moving to Italy. <\/p>\n \n\tDuring his summer break, the Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>! host appeared on the Sarah Silverman Podcast<\/a>, and among a variety of topics, touched upon the state of politics in the United States and how celebrities having been leaving the country amid President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s second term. \u201cI did get Italian citizenship,\u201d Kimmel told Silverman. \u201cI do have that.\u201d He added, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on is\u2026 as bad as you thought it was going to be, it\u2019s so much worse. \u2026 I think it\u2019s probably even worse than he would like it to be.\u201d Although Kimmel did not cite Trump\u2019s presidency for getting his Italian citizenship, Trump allies and conservative media fueled rumors that the comedian was leaving the country.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Kimmel returned to his show and dispelled any speculation that he was fleeing amid his years-long feud with the president. After acknowledging that the \u201cMAGA gang went nuts\u201d after news of his newly obtained Italian citizenship and playing a reel of Fox News and Newsmax clips, Kimmel declared: \u201cI\u2019m not moving to Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI never said that. This is where I live. This is my country. I have no intention of running away from it, especially because of Donald Trump,\u201d continued the late-night host. \u201cLet me tell you something, I would move into Mar-a-Lago if I could, just to drive him insane.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFor context, Kimmel said, \u201cI\u2019ve been trying to get Italian citizen for almost 20 years. I love Italy,\u201d before joking, \u201cMostly what I like to do is bring my passport to parties and show it to people and make them jealous.\u201d <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I would move into Mar-a-Lago if I could, just to drive [Donald Trump] insane,” said the late-night host…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,2490,134,4625,59932,5635,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-115008","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","13":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","14":"tag-maga","15":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
