Jimmy Kimmel will never pass up the chance to roast President Trump over his alliances. Usually he criticizes Trump’s “co-President,” Elon Musk, on Live, but he set his sights on Trump’s growing alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin during Wednesday’s (March 19) broadcast.
Kimmel explained during his opening monologue that Trump claimed he “had a great call” with Putin that day to convince him to stop bombing Ukrainian energy facilities – only for Russia to continue bombing the facilities just hours later.
“[Putin] said he would stop and then a few hours later, Russia launched an attack on, any guesses? That’s right. Ukrainian energy facilities,” Kimmel continued. “The best dealmaker in the world, [Trump] really is.”
The late night host then ridiculed the several phone calls Trump and Putin seem to share, calling it “very romantic” and speculating about what the leaders could possibly be discussing.
“He’s had multiple phone conversations with Putin,” Kimmel said. “He had five on Valentine’s Day – very romantic.”
Kimmel took it a step further by referencing the television moment everyone’s been talking about this week – that controversial kiss between the Ratliff brothers (Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola) on this week’s White Lotus. While many White Lotus fans were freaked out by that shocking moment, Kimmel hinted that Putin and Trump may have been into it.
“And also they watched The White Lotus on Sunday and said they wished they were together for the brothers kissing part,” he quipped, drawing a laugh from the crowd.
The late night host then claimed that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seems to have “inspired” Trump’s insistence on taking Canada as the 51st state.
Kimmel aired a Fox interview where Trump claimed “one of the nastiest countries” he’s worked with during his presidency is Canada. But Kimmel was quick to come to the country’s defense.
“You’d be nasty if you lived above a meth lab run by a loud stupid landlord too, okay?” he fired back, before lamenting, “I don’t know how we’re gonna make it through four years of this.”
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
