Notably, the Knicks are only two victories shy of their first championship win since 1973.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel had something to say about the matter. \u201cA lot of celebrities are expected to be at the Garden on Monday,\u201d Kimmel began on the latest episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E4CbukVfpHY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>, \u201cIncluding the biggest celebrity of all, a guy who draws bigger crowds than Martin Luther King and Elvis without even playing the guitar combined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To an array of boos, he continued, \u201cPresident Trump is planning to go to New York for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the brutal blow, he added, \u201cThis would be the first time Trump has appeared at a court in New York since being convicted of 34 felonies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel then touched on the \u201cAI slop\u201d picture Trump posted of himself previously, \u201cin a Knicks jersey dunking on New York Governor Kathy Hokll. There he is. Larry Turd with two hands on the ball.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In a nod to the president\u2019s corrupt dealings, Kimmel added, \u201cThe president wants to be there in person to support his hometown team and if necessary to overturn the results of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, Kimmel nodded to the president\u2019s desperate pleas in 2020 to overturn the results after Joe Biden was declared triumphant.<\/p>\n<p>The 58-year-old finished, \u201cYou\u2019d think Trump would be rooting for the Spurs. It\u2019s what got him out of Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Kimmel dragged Trump for his <a href=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/jimmy-kimmel-disses-captain-cankleroo-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">continued social media usage<\/a>, as the politician posts on average every hour every day on his platform, TruthSocial.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel quipped, \u201cHow does this man have the time to be a doctor and Jesus and also our most out-of-control relative on social media? But I guess that\u2019s what you have to do if you want to make it as an influencer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel added with a smile, \u201cIf Donald Trump did one sit-up every time he posted something, he\u2019d look like <a href=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/jacob-elorid-would-do-anything-to-work-with-one-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jacob Elordi<\/a> right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  <a class=\"fw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"\"> ADD AS A PREFERRED SOURCE ON GOOGLE <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/far-out-magazine\/img\/google-discover.svg\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a>  The Far Out Film Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>All the latest film news from the independent voice of culture.<br \/>Straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Video Still \/ Daniel Torok Jimmy Kimmel continues to be a loud dissenter of Donald Trump\u2019s every&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":689789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[12,17114,99],"class_list":["post-689788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-donald-trump","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/689789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
