Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday put President Donald Trump on blast for trying to blame this week’s deadly midair collision on diversity initiatives.
When a reporter asked Trump how he could reach that conclusion, the president responded: “Because I have common sense.”
“Take it from a man who looked directly into an eclipse,” Kimmel said.
Kimmel said all Trump needed to do as president was to go out and offer comfort to the families of the victims and promise to find out what happened.
“But he can’t do that,” Kimmel said. “Because he’s callous, he’s racist, he’s sexist, and most of all he’s stupid. He’s a deeply stupid man.”
Kimmel also had a theory on why Trump has to “be a dirtbag” about situations such as this.
“I think maybe he gets jealous when a disaster gets more coverage than him,” Kimmel said. “He’s like ‘I’m the biggest disaster, you point that camera at me right now.’”
