Jimmy Kimmel gave the clearest and harshest summary of the whole Trump presidency.
After Trump gave a long 106-minute speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, the ABC late-night host focused on the most eye-opening moment of the night: the president shouting that the arena was full, even though there were big sections of empty seats right behind him.
“Come on,” Kimmel said.
“Can there be a better symbol for this presidency than him bragging about how big his crowd was to a bunch of empty seats?I don’t think so,” Kimmel said.
Throughout the speech, Trump kept saying “nobody has left” and even told the audience not to go to the bathroom, warning that reporters would take pictures of the empty seats and say he lost the crowd.
Later, he posted on Truth Social to claim the event was a “major, sold-out hit” that even beat the NFL.
But the cameras showed a different picture.
Several news outlets reported that the upper parts of the arena were mostly empty and entire sections were unoccupied.
People left as the speech dragged on more than an hour past its planned ending.
Kimmel’s strongest comment was directed at the group of MAGA supporters who rushed to support the idea, then asked the only question that really matters:
“When is the kid going to tell the emperor he has no clothes?
That arena was as empty as a Waymo.”
He’s right about Trump.
Only he could shout about huge crowds and big success in real time, even though the emptiness was right there, and keep believing in his own lie so he could make others believe it too.
