\n\tAfter a summer hiatus and several notable guest hosts, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>. And boy did the late-night host have a lot to say about Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s summer antics. <\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel spent the monologue of his 4000th show recapping Trump\u2019s \u201ccrazy summer\u201d and discussing how the U.S. remains a complete mess. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of shows,\u201d he noted of hitting the milestone episode. \u201cAccording to the White House, it\u2019s too many shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe explained of the state of the nation, \u201cWhen I left for summer break in the middle of June this country was a mess. We were at war with Iran at that time. Gas prices were high at that time. Inflation was high. Mitch McConnell was either alive or dead. Nobody seemed to have any idea which. No one still seems to. I guess they don\u2019t even care anymore because they seemed to have just stopped trying to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel continued, \u201cAnd now, only three months, later, I am so pleased to report that thanks to your favorite president, DJ Jazzy Donald, every one of those problems has been solved. We made America great again!\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe studio audience booed while Kimmel feigned ignorance. \u201cWhy isn\u2019t everyone standing up and clapping?\u201d he asked. \u201cIt said on Truth Social he made America great again. Are you telling me the president of the United States had three full months and spent $20 million and couldn\u2019t even get a pool cleaned?\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel explained that Trump\u2019s approval numbers are at an all-time low and gas prices have now hit an all-time high. The Straight of Hormuz also remains closed. \u201cAt this point Blockbuster Video has a better chance of reopening than the Straight of Hormuz,\u201d Kimmel quipped. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cDonald Trump and I have one thing in common: We both accomplished nothing all summer long.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tOne thing that has changed: Trump\u2019s hair color. Kimmel shared a photo of the president with what seems to be a new shade to his hair. \u201cIs it possible to have a midlife crisis at 80 years old?\u201d Kimmel asked. \u201cIt\u2019s like he\u2019s aging in reverse. He\u2019s our own little Benjamin Glutton.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel acknowledged that Trump sharing \u201ca gusher of AI-generated slop\u201d over the weekend almost felt like the president was welcoming him back to work. \u201cOn Sunday alone he posted he 37 times,\u201d Kimmel recounted. \u201cOne of them this: He said, \u2018The moon is ours.\u2019 Okay. We own the moon. The moon is America\u2019s lightbulb now.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tTrump\u2019s other posts included a suggestion to rename New Mexico as New America and a video of himself as a Green Lantern. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs if the people in New Mexico don\u2019t already have enough on their plate, trying to spell the word \u2018Albuquerque,\u2019 now they have to deal with this,\u201d Kimmel responded. \u201cAnd, of course, no ridiculous idea would be complete without merch,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cAfter cancelling the word \u2018Ontario\u2019 Trump is now selling Lake America hats for $55 a pop. Which is a small price to pay to let everyone around you know you did not graduate the sixth grade.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel\u2019s return to Jimmy Kimmel Live comes after several notable guest hosts stepped in over the summer. These included Jelly Roll, who gave an emotional monologue<\/a> about his political views, and Rosie O\u2019Donnell, who also criticized Trump<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a summer hiatus and several notable guest hosts, Jimmy Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
