Jimmy Kimmel Highlights Trump’s Financial Woes and Humorous Solutions Amidst Legal Troubles
In a recent monologue on Thursday night, Jimmy Kimmel delved into a variety of current events, touching on topics such as the Supreme Court’s decision to defer any criminal judgment against Donald Trump until after the 2024 election.
Before addressing the Supreme Court’s move, Kimmel took a humorous look at Trump’s financial predicament, specifically his struggle to come up with the $454 million judgment imposed on him following a conviction for business fraud in New York. The ABC host suggested that Trump might have to resort to unconventional means to cover the hefty penalty, including the potential sale of his least favorite child.
“I mentioned last night that in order to appeal the ruling in his fraud case in New York, he has to come up with the full $454 million dollar penalty. Or a bond to cover it,” Kimmel explained, highlighting the irony of Trump, known for not repaying debts, needing to convince a bonding company of his repayment capability.
With a comedic tone, Kimmel continued, “He owes like a whole Powerball Lottery jackpot. He may very well have to sell off his properties to cover it. But that’s a worst-case scenario. His first move is to see how much he can get for Eric on Craigslist. He has him listed in the ‘Tools’ section.”
Adding a touch of satire, Kimmel proposed a whimsical scenario where Trump might sell Mar-A-Lago to a billionaire liberal, playfully suggesting “Oprah-Lago” as a potential outcome.
In the midst of legal troubles, Kimmel provided a lighthearted take on Trump’s financial challenges, infusing humor into the discussion surrounding the former president’s legal and financial affairs.
