“It’s so much worse”
Kimmel told Sarah Silverman that the Trump administration’s policies are as “bad as you thought it was going to be”
Jimmy Kimmel‘s dislike of President Donald Trump seems to have reached an inflection point. The late-night host has felt so dismayed by the Administration’s fascist policies that he’s set up a bit of a contingency plan to flee the country altogether if need be. During a recent appearance on The Sarah Silverman podcast, Kimmel informed his ex and fellow comedian that an intercontinental move may be in store after he obtained his Italian citizenship.
“A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said. Kimmel replied, “I did get Italian citizenship,” noting, “What’s going on [with Trump] is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It’s so much worse; it’s just unbelievable. I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be.”
Kimmel has been a vocal detractor of Trump during both of his terms. Following Trump’s first 100 days in office, the comedian dedicated an opening monologue on his show to roasting the inefficiency of the government. “It’s difficult to give Trump’s first 100 days a grade, but if I had to I’d say it falls somewhere between F and U,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, there have been some positives. Unfortunately, they have all been pregnancy tests for women who slept with Elon Musk.” Noting how little Trump got done, he said, “None of those achievements are achievements,” he said. “The penny is gone and straws are back. Wow, America really is great again, isn’t it? This tells you all you need to know about how things are going for Trump.”
If Kimmel leaves the United States, he would join Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres as celebrities who fled the United States after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in last November’s Presidential Election.
