Jimmy Kimmel and 'God' mock Trump's 'bananas' press conference, piety about Kavanaugh's accusers
"This was a weird day," Jimmy Kimmel said on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. "Donald Trump treated the media gathered in New York to a rambling, angry, jumbled, dishonest, and frequently incoherent hour-and-20-minute-long press conference." It was quite a performance, "like the craziest voicemail from your mom, ever," Kimmel said. "It was bananas. You know they say Rod Rosenstein wanted to tape him to show everyone he's nuts? Not necessary, he did it himself." Trump's rantings were so madcap, he added, "they could have easily have sold this thing to Netflix as a comedy special."
Kimmel played a string of highlights, breaking in with asides. Having a "very, very large brain," he noted, "is not a good thing. When your brain is swelling, it means you have CTE — it's common in the NFL." And he laughed at Trump's claim to hate being famous, saying whoever "put his name in such giant letters on these buildings ... owes him an apology, bigly."
