Kimmel’s Show Hits Trump Where It Hurts in Humiliating Roast

Anna Moneymaker / Getty ImagesJimmy Kimmel Live hit Trump where it hurts: by illustrating just how poorly attended his Great American State Fair celebrations were.The late-night show’s guest host, Tiffany Haddish, mocked the president for sparse crowds at the state fair, held by Trump’s Freedom 250 organization. Haddish, 46, began, “Trump said the event was going to be, and I quote, ‘packed to the brim.’ Well, let’s see how that worked out for him.” The show then panned to footage of near-empty spaces and stalls, somehow deemed by Fox News to be festivities “in full swing,” with “thousands of people” in attendance.

Trump claims his Great American State Fair was 'packed to the brim!'

President Donald Trump claimed the crowd was incredible at the Great American State Fair kickoff rally Wednesday night held in the National Mall.He continued on Truth Social, At least 45,000 people were there, with a huge Television and online audience.However, independent media estimates contradict his claims. NBC News estimated attendance at more than 1,000, while the Washington Post reported the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some summer outdoor movie screenings. Video footage shows a steady stream of people walking away during Trump's speech. The event's kickoff was marred by several musical acts withdrawing due to concerns about its political nature. Trump's remarks touted Washington, D.C., infrastructure improvements and compared his political movement to the American Revolution. The attendance discrepancy echoes previous disputes between Trump and media outlets over crowd sizes at his public events.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

FUNNY: Massie RUINS AIPAC Stooge’s Plan 🤡 #breakingnews #theyoungturks #anakasparian #cenkuygur

WATCH: a Hilarious exchange where Thomas Massie turns the tables, embarrassing a Fox host who is executing AIPAC’s latest plan to take him down. When Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu faced the slightest bit of opposition from republican Thomas Massie against their plans for war endless funding of Israel and it’s expansionist fever dream, as the story goes they seem to have spread vicious rumors about Massie and Lauren Bobert having a relationship. When a Fox News stooge tries the age, old bird dog technique of asking them about a salacious rumor, thus substantiating and implicitly, Massey pulls out his phone and gives it right back! This doesn’t make up for the ongoing war with Iran, incursions until Lebanon, and ongoing horrors and Gaza and the West Bank, but it’s a start.

If the gaslighters at Fox wanted to put a happy face on this giant turd, they should have reconsidered broadcasting live from in front of the almost non-existent crowd at the National Mall this Saturday. As you can see in the clip above, Fox's The Big Weekend Show kicked off their programming talking about the different exhibits at the so-called Great American Fair and doing some interviews with attendees, and all they ended up highlighting was the fact that the place was mostly empty. As The Wrap reported, attendance was pretty abysmal all weekend: Trump’s Great American State Fair Gets Dunked as Videos Show Low Attendance: Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair kicked off Friday on the National Mann in Washington, D.C. to bad weather, power outages, poor attendance, and, apparently, a Confederate flag problem. This prompted plenty of responses from both attendees and people watching from afar via social media. As one person put it, “This is pathetic.”read more

TV host trashes leftie commentators whining about Trump during USA 250 celebrations

Sky News host James Morrow discusses leftie commentators complaining about US President Donald Trump during the USA 250 celebrations. “Now, of course, the fashionable thing for commentators to do, when they’re not whining about Trump, is to rewrite history past and present by claiming that the entire nation was built on slavery,” Mr Morrow said. “Or that actually, it was Somalis, and not British colonists, who built Boston. “Call me crazy, I don’t think a birthday party is the time to talk about someone’s faults; it’s a time to toast their achievements and wish them many more years of happiness and success. So, here’s to you, America, land of my birth.”
