Late-night hosts talked Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s disdain for his own Time magazine cover and a new mandatory TSA checkpoint video starring Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> relayed concerning news from the World Health Organization (WHO) that antibiotic-resistant \u201csuperbugs\u201d are on the rise. Superbugs, Kimmel reminded, are \u201cthe world\u2019s most dangerous bacteria that also sounds like a show on Disney+\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, sometimes we get so fixated on Trump we forget that there are other disgusting creatures hellbent on bringing about the end of the world out there,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Trump had \u201cwhat was easily the most presidential day of his life\u201d, Kimmel continued. \u201cHe was front and center on the world stage signing a ceasefire in the Middle East. And then he got home and started going through the internet and he just couldn\u2019t help himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump made the cover of Time magazine, \u201cwhich he usually loves\u201d, said Kimmel, noting that Trump used to keep mock Time magazine covers of himself on the walls of his golf club.<\/p>\n

But the choice of photo \u2013 and upward shot foregrounding the loose skin under his neck \u2013 upset the president so much that he posted on Truth Social at 1.30am, calling the photo \u201cthe worst of all time\u201d. Trump also claimed the magazine \u201cdisappeared\u201d his hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery morning is a game of \u2018who am I mad at today?\u2019\u201d Kimmel laughed. \u201cIs it the Cracker Barrel logo? Is it windmills? Is it Bad Bunny? Is it the Nobel prize? Or is it the turkey vagina slapping around under his chin?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure if they\u2019re even allowed to show his neck on TV,\u201d he added. \u201cWouldn\u2019t it be funny if the FCC fined us for showing his neck on TV?\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also said that he \u201cnever liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like he\u2019s a TikTok influencer yelling at her boyfriend for not knowing her angles,\u201d Kimmel quipped. \u201cIt really is remarkable what a big, fragile baby this man is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen Colbert<\/p>\n

And on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert<\/a> referred to Trump\u2019s neck-fold-forward Time magazine cover as \u201cthe worst Georgia O\u2019Keeffe ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like one of those optical illusions where you can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s an old woman or a young ball sack,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the president of the United States is far too busy hammering out the details of a deal to end a generational conflict in the Middle East to worry about how he looks on some biweekly magazine \u2026 you would think.\u201d Of course, Trump took time to call the cover photo \u201cthe worst of all time\u201d in a Truth Social post.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want a flattering photo for the cover of Time? How about this one,\u201d Colbert said over a photo of a younger Trump with his friend Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Colbert also touched on the chaos at US airports, as the government shutdown continues to cause big delays. And this week, the Department of Homeland Security introduced a new mandatory TSA checkpoint video starring Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s making something bad you can\u2019t get out of so much worse,\u201d said Colbert. \u201cIt\u2019s like when you\u2019re in the middle of getting your teeth cleaned and the dentist punches you in the balls.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, most folks are blaming this shutdown chaos on the GOP for the unfair reason that they control the entire federal government,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut Kristi Noem\u2019s video names a different culprit \u2013 and you\u2019ll never guess who it is, unless you guess the Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, Noem claims that \u201cDemocrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government\u201d and that \u201cour hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNice try, Kristi, but your partisan attacks will never divide the people at the airport,\u201d Colbert responded. \u201cWe are proudly united \u2026 in wondering why the rules seem to be different for every line you\u2019re going through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Late-night hosts talked Donald Trump\u2019s disdain for his own Time magazine cover and a new mandatory TSA checkpoint…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-215759","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-entertainment","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215759","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=215759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
