"President Trump spent yesterday visiting Dayton and El Paso to offer comfort to those communities in their time of grief, then last night, Trump posted a video montage of his trip," James Corden said on Thursday's Late Late Show. He played part of the official White House video. "Trump edited the footage of his trip like it was an Avengers: Endgame trailer!" he said. "After watching that, surely now we can impeach him. Surely, that is enough."
"Trump's supposed to be consoling people in a hospital!" Corden said. "And I think we all know nothing says 'I'm sorry for your loss' quite like the double thumbs-up."
Yes, somehow, once again, Trump "managed to make what should have been a day about others all about him," Jimmy Kimmel said on Kimmel Live. "Shortly after the White House press secretary told reporters this visit is about the victims and their families, this is not a photo op, Trump tweeted a video," which Kimmel also played, swearing he didn't alter it. "It looks like he's Batman or something! Can someone please check his brain fluid next time he's in the hospital? I think it might need to be topped off a little."

"Then in El Paso, he stopped to chat with the hospital staff, and guess who was the topic of conversation this time around?" Kimmel asked, playing cellphone footage of Trump talking about the size of his crowd at a February rally. "By the way, that speech he's bragging about? He still owes the city of El Paso more than $500,000 for expenses there."
"A local television station released video today showing President Trump bragging about the crowd size at his rallies while talking to medical staff treating victims of the El Paso shooting," Seth Meyers said at Late Night. "Said one doctor, 'That's very interesting — have I shown you our psych ward?'" Watch below. Peter Weber
