Jimmy Kimmel displayed a number of the awards he has received over the years and made an offer to Donald Trump: He\u2019ll give any one of them to him if the president pulls ICE out of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
Kimmel\u2019s offer on Thursday was part of a riff on Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado presentation of her Nobel Peace Prize<\/a> to Trump at the White House on Thursday.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/p>\n Trump has complained about not receiving the Nobel prize, and Machado\u2019s offering appeared to be one of trying to establish good will with the president after he dismissed the idea that she should lead Venezuela. After the U.S. removed Nicolas Maduro as leader of the country earlier this month, Trump rejected the idea of Machado succeeding him, even though she was awarded her Nobel for leading opposition to the repressive regime.<\/p>\n On his late night show on Thursday, Kimmel noted reports that some in Trump\u2019s circle believe that the president\u2019s lukewarm reaction to Machado was \u201cbecause she didn\u2019t give him her Nobel Prize.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel noted, \u201cSo then she said, \u2018Oh wait, you know what? I will give it to him. I will give him the Nobel Prize.\u2019 And so he said, \u2018Yeah, okay, then come on by.’\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel showed the White House photo of Trump grinning and holding Machado\u2019s framed medal, with her standing next to him.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at how happy he is,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cHave you ever seen anyone happier than that for winning this prize he didn\u2019t even win?\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel noted that \u201cTrump loves awards. Giving him an award is the only way to get him to do anything, and with that said, Mr. President, I have an offer I think you\u2019re going to find difficult to refuse \u2014 if you, and only if \u2014 you agree to pull ICE out of Minneapolis and put them back at the borders where they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel then showed some of his own trophies, including his Daytime Emmy, a Clio award, a Webby Award, and a Writers Guild of America Award. The final one was a mock honor. \u201cOr best of all, I\u2019m willing to hand over my 2015 Soul Train award for White Person of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe choice is yours. I personally deliver any or even all of these to the Oval Office in exchange for leaving the people of Minneapolis alone,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n Earlier on Thursday, before Machado presented her medal to Trump, the Nobel Peace Center posted on X, \u201cA medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
