Jimmy Kimmel on Trump’s Inauguration Address: ‘More Ominous Than I Anticipated’

by

Jimmy Kimmel commented on the unusual nature of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration during his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” on Monday evening, likening it to the end of a long, distressing period for America, saying, “And so, our prolonged national tribulation was officially inaugurated.

He commented that it’s still challenging to fully comprehend, given that Trump, who has been convicted of a crime, managed to win the presidency again. And immediately following his victory, there have been attempts to profit: Selling inauguration Bibles and introducing a new cryptocurrency which has already made him wealthy.

He expressed his concern by saying, “I trust everyone can see how extraordinary that situation is,” referring to the President of the United States, who seems to be mimicking the actions of the Hawk Tuah girl.

Regarding the choice to conduct the inauguration in a chilly indoor setting, it can be interpreted as “they chose to bring the celebrations inside – a decision that benefited Trump more favorably. It also made it more difficult for Melania to slip away.

Moreover, Kimmel pointed out that, as a customary gesture, both President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden extended welcomes to former President Trump and his wife Melania during their visit to the White House – an act that Donald Trump declined to reciprocate in the year 2021.

In summary, unlike the previous occasion, there was a strong emphasis on upholding tradition as expressed by Kimmel. Additionally, Kamala Harris hosted JD Vance at the Vice President’s residence in the Naval Observatory for a ceremonial event involving an heirloom sofa once owned by Millard Fillmore.

Kimmel pointed out that Mike Pence, the previous vice president, attended – however, his spouse Karen chose not to be present as she did not wish to commemorate the individual whom Pence considered “all good,” in the company of those who had allegedly contributed to the death of her husband.

In reference to Trump’s second inaugural speech, Kimmel pointed out that it was “more foreboding than I had expected.

Emperor Palpatine’s hand is back,” he declared. His statement wasn’t inspiring or even grammatically sound. Trump claimed, rather boastfully, that the ‘Golden Age of America’ has begun, repeating this phrase twice – yet the victory he celebrated was in no way a landslide as he suggested.

Many people were puzzled as to why so many wealthy individuals were present at the Capitol for the inauguration – there’s a logical reason behind it. Essentially, Trump is selling off the country to those who bid the highest,” Kimmel continued. “It’s truly astounding to observe these influential men, who have no need to earn another penny in their lifetimes, groveling to this absurd figure.

Kimmel expressed his belief that Trump didn’t seem to be having fun: “I feel like he doesn’t enjoy being in front of a crowd that isn’t there for Kid Rock as well,” Kimmel said. “He appeared rather reserved. He was reading from the teleprompter, possibly due to exhaustion from all his victories. I’m not sure.

Subsequently, Kimmel pointed out that Trump had signed numerous executive orders, and he couldn’t help but mention the irony of Republicans who once criticized President Obama for signing fewer executive orders. “Do you recall the uproar Republicans used to cause when a Democratic president issued an executive order? Seems like they’ve forgotten all about it.

Trump additionally granted pardons to approximately 1,500 individuals convicted of storming the Capitol on January 6th. He carried out this action amidst a boisterous audience that he had previously criticized for presumed favoritism towards Joe Biden in granting pardons to his family. The key difference lies here: Biden pardoned numerous people who were not guilty of any crimes, whereas Trump pardoned those who were.
