\n\tAfter Donald Trump fired Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem<\/a> on Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> was having the last laugh. On Thursday night\u2019s edition of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live,\u201d the late night host poked some fun at the embattled Noem, who was finally let go after several scandals. <\/p>\n

\n\tThat included her claim that Trump approved her $220 million border security advertising campaign that was seen as self-promotional; a multi-million-dollar jet fleet paid for by border funds; her relationship with top aide Corey Lewandowski; and how she falsely called Alex Pretti, the Minnesota man killed by ICE agents, was a \u201cdomestic terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his opening monologue, Kimmel pointed out that this felt like the latest installment of a Trump scripted TV show \u2014 and in this case, a \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d moment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cToday \u2013 we had a red wedding on that TV show,\u201d he said. \u201cA shocking elimination on the \u2018Celebrity Appresident,\u2019 as Trump finally fired a member of his cabinet. It\u2019s the first one of his second term.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel noted that the now-former Secretary of Homeland Security was let go after \u201ctwo disastrous hearings in the House and Senate\u201d and was now, as Trump explained, \u201c\u2018\u2026moving to be Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat, exactly, is that? \u201cI think I speak for all of us when I say, we wish Kristi luck in her brand-new, completely made-up job,\u201d Kimmel quipped. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting \u2013 Trump was said to be particularly unhappy with Noem\u2019s testimony claiming that he signed off on a $220 million ad campaign that featured her in commercials wearing different outfits, rounding up immigrants and riding a horse.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTrump claims he didn\u2019t know anything about it. Even though we all knew everything about it. But you know him, he doesn\u2019t watch much television.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel knows that\u2019s not true, and directly addressed him: \u201cHi, President Trump, how are ya!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel also pointed out that not long before she got the boot, Noem and the DHS had been pushing back against criticism of those commericials, calling them \u201cthe most successful ad campaign in U.S. history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked the host: \u201cEven more than \u2018Where\u2019s the Beef?\u2019 More than \u2018Whazzzzup!\u2019? I don\u2019t know \u2013 if that\u2019s true, that\u2019s very impressive. You know, the funniest thing would be if they deport her to El Salvador.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel then added that Trump\u2019s replacement for Noem was Oklahoma senator Markwayne Mullin \u2014 a former MMA fighter and a plumber.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAccording to White House staffers, Trump \u2018loves watching him on TV,’\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cI agree. I love watching him on TV too\u2026 in the same way I loved watching Honey Boo Boo on TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the monologue, Kimmel noted that according to polls, a majority of Americans are not in favor of the war on Iran, and that \u201ca majority of Americans think Trump is making the U.S. less safe. But that is according to a poll from those radical left-wing lunatics at Fox News.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd he also noted that of the more than 47,000 documents \u201cthat mysteriously vanished from the government\u2019s website, some of these missing files contain disturbing allegations against a person who for legal reasons I can\u2019t say his name, but he\u2019s currently the President.\u201d Those missing files have finally been published \u2014 and include a transcript of the accuser\u2019s interviews. <\/p>\n

As Kimmel noted: \u201cCan you imagine if the DOJ had been holding FBI interviews with a woman who claimed that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her when she was a young teenager? It would be rage boner-palooza at Fox News.\u201d<\/p>\n
