Tiffany Haddish Mocks Trump’s ‘Tiny Hands’ on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
What To Know
- Tiffany Haddish guest-hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and mocked President Donald Trump’s “tiny hands.”
- Haddish joked about Trump being blamed for the U.S. Men’s soccer team’s World Cup loss.
- The White House has attributed Trump’s hand bruising to frequent handshakes and a daily aspirin regimen.
Just because Jimmy Kimmel is on a summer hiatus doesn’t mean his late-night show has stopped mocking President Donald Trump.
Tiffany Haddish, who kicked off her guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday (July 6), has picked up the slack, taking aim at a particular sensitive spot for the president. During her opening monologue on Tuesday’s (July 7) show, Haddish poked fun at Trump’s “tiny hands.”
The comedian was talking about the U.S. Men’s soccer team’s loss to Belgium in the World Cup, which many are blaming on Trump after he got involved by calling FIFA to overrule a red card decision.
“People are blaming Donald Trump for the loss after he got FIFA to help Team USA,” Haddish said. “It seems like everything Trump touches dies… which I guess is why his tiny hands are all f***ed up.”
She then threw to an image of Trump’s bruised hands. The president has faced questions about the bruising before, but the White House has played down any concerns.
“The President is literally constantly shaking hands. The Oval Office is like Grand Central Terminal. He is meeting with more people than any of you even know about on a daily basis,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said previously. “He’s also on a daily aspirin regimen, which is something his physical examinations has said in the past as well, which can contribute to that bruising that we see.”
Haddish had an alternative reason for why Trump’s hands may be damaged, quipping, “Or maybe that’s from grabbing Nicki’s barbz by the p***y.” The studio audience gasped in shock at the joke, then broke into laughter and applause.
“I’m glad some of y’all got that joke, cause it seems like there’s not enough Black people in the audience to know what a Barb is,” Haddish added, referring to Trump’s friendship with rapper Nicki Minaj, who calls her fans as the Barbz.
Kimmel has previously mocked Trump’s hands, calling him “Teddy Bruisevelet” and saying his attempts to cover up the bruises with makeup are “even sloppier than the Epstein [cover-up].”

While I'm glad to see Ms. Haddish take Kimmel's spot of making fun of the recent headlines, I can't wait for Seth Meyers' return next week for his take on them, that's for sure!

You folks, huh? Brilliant thinking. Kamala wouldn't of given us tariffs, DOGE, ICE and unnecessary wars. All the supporters like yourself wanted this. It's what was given to all of us. Shameful.

Not really. I'm more hung up on the incompetency of running a war and a country. Nothing weird about that.

His hands are pretty small like Tiffany and 'Lil Marco once said.

Thanks Mr.Prez for helping Belgium defeat us. He sure knows how to motivate the wrong team including all of America. Why can't he do anything right other than making more money for himself, family and friends?

USA got beat by a better team. Still, after the game in the locker room the Belgiums were doing the "DJT dance" and singing " Y.M.C.A.". If that's not giving a team motivation to win don't know what is. Concerning Biden we had four relatively calm years with him in charge. Why Conservs get so riled up speaking truths about their hero? Relax. Take a pill and again.....wake up.

He gave Belgium motivation. He needs to mind his own business and stay out of things like sports and countries that don't concern him. Great things? Hardly. I can write a book on the many, many bad things he's done. I didn't whine, cry and bellyache after losing to Joe by millions. Got the wrong person lol.

Nothing flawed. Just facts bud. Americans are starting to wake up. Do the same.

If I was a real estate developer and reality t.v. star I'd have the common sense knowledge and understanding that I'd be way over my head trying to run a country. Nope. Not me. I wouldn't do a better job. It's a shame we don't have a qualified person now who could actually do the job so much better.

It could be worse, Tiffany could have mentioned his orange face. If he gets very angry, does Donald's face turn blood orange colour and turn into the Incredible Sulk?
