Jimmy Kimmel Criticizes President Trump's Post-Midterm Comments

Jimmy Kimmel responded to the recent midterm elections, noting the decisive victories for Democratic candidates. In a televised segment, Kimmel turned his attention to President Trump's reaction, saying the president was "still our president, and in the face of defeat he is doing what he does best: blaming everyone other than him." He cited Trump's criticism of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, labeling him a "RINO," and his attacks on Fox News for its coverage. Kimmel added that Trump claimed he was not on the ballot and suggested that his presence would have produced a "landslide" victory. The comedian concluded by urging Trump to "shut up" and stop speaking publicly about the results.

"He's still our president, and in the face of defeat he is doing what he does best: blaming everyone other than him," Kimmel said. "He took shots at the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, he called him a RINO, he went after Fox News for their coverage, and then he resolved himself of all responsibility. He wrote: 'I wasn't on the ballot. And if I was, we would have won in a landslide.'"
