Jimmy Kimmel just blasted President Donald Trump‘s Iran deal as the “Retreaty of Versailles” on his last episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of a two-month summer break — before Matt Damon crashed his set.
On the Thursday, June 18 episode of his ABC late-night show, Kimmel took aim at the POTUS after the 80-year-old signed a preliminary peace deal to end the war in Iran on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump is having a really bad week after this dummy of a deal he signed off on,” he pointed out during his opening monologue. “Even his own side is against him on this.”
After reading headlines from Fox News criticizing the president’s move, Kimmel, 58, explained, “Trump got a copy of this memorandum of understanding they came up with last night during his dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron. You can see here, he is putting his little Don Hancock the Retreaty of Versailles.”
The comedian then quipped, “Unfortunately, that’s the dessert menu he signed. So, he got a macaroon to go. And then he got a big round of applause for, I don’t know what, for accomplishing nothing once again.”
Kimmel continued, “The deal is, Iran gets billions of dollars, and then we’ll talk about a deal. It’s a deal to make a deal,” before joking, ” It’s hosted by Howie Mandel. It’s gonna be terrific.”
Additionally, Kimmel drew attention to the fact that Trump still hasn’t “gotten into the details of the nuclear stuff” with Iran.
“Which is interesting because three months ago, Trump wrote, ‘No deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!'” he pointed out, sharing a screenshot of a Truth Social post from the POTUS. “Little did we know he meant it was ours.”
To conclude his thoughts on the preliminary peace treaty, Kimmel declared, “So in the end, after all this, Trump’s answer to the questions who did you go to war with and how did it end will be the same answer: I-ran.”
Kimmel wrapped up his monologue with a surprise visit from his frenemy, Damon, who crashed the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a Trojan horse and then challenged the late-night host to a battle with pool noodles.

After watching Jimmy's monologue as well as other Trump-related disasters and then also watching the Obama Center opening with the other former presidents in attendance, I think Barack's legacy will be more cherished than Trump's in the intervening years gone by. Oh, and glad for Matt Damon "crashing" Kimmel's stage before his vacation, that's for sure!

In still other much more important news. A very recent poll conducted said that 24% of people claiming affiliation to the Democrat Party. Said they will Not fly our National Flag on the Fourth of July. That poll also indicated that 24% of Democrats and 24% of Independents. Said they would not even Celebrate the Fourth of July !! Now for the naysayers sake let’s say that those numbers are badly skewed whether deliberately or by mistake. Let’s say by a whopping 10% of Dems. and 10% of Independents. That would still leave 14% Dems. and 14% Independents who Won’t acknowledge the 4th of July 250 years of Independence !! That’s pretty bad by itself !! But when you combine the numbers to the 28% that’s Terrible !! And that’s IF the numbers are that badly skewed !! Americans we need to be very aware that Socialism which is merely slightly watered down Communism is not so slowly taking over our country !! Better be very proactive in opposing it else we’ll end up like Venezuela or worse North Korea !! I know you folks hate Trump. But he’s the least of the problems this country now faces !! Better stand up against this foreign born insidious ideology before it’s to late !! God Bless America !! Long may her banner wave !!

On Kimmel’s failed attempt at humor regarding the reflection pool repair. Yes Trump spent $14 Million. But for some odd reason Kimmel didn’t bring up how Obama spent $34 Million in a Failed attempt to repair it !! Guess that selective amnesia showed up again. The pool Was leaking 450 gallons of water a day ! Obama’s repair effort didn’t resolve the issue. Trump’s did. The algae problem is an easy fix. The pool was built on top of swampy type land in 1922.
