"Rarely does a president yank a Nobel Prize off of someone's neck, Kimmel said. He's back in the Oval Office sucking on it like a pacifier right now. He didn't even win. While condemning Trump's acceptance of the prize, Kimmel argued the moment revealed a deeper political truth about how the president operates. Trump loves awards, he noted. Giving him an award, it's the only way to get him to do anything."
"Mr. President, I have an offer I think you're going to find difficult to refuse, Kimmel said, before laying out his terms that the president remove ICE from Minneapolis and redeploy agents back at the borders where they belong. In return, Kimmel offered a menu of accolades, including the Daytime Emmy I won for Best Game Show host in 1999, a Clio Award, a Webby Award, a Writers Guild Award, and even his 2015 Soul Train Award for White Person of the Year."
Jimmy Kimmel displayed a table of his past awards and offered any or all of them to President Donald Trump in exchange for withdrawing ICE from Minnesota and leaving Minneapolis alone. The offer referenced a recent moment when Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize, creating a spectacle that highlighted the president's affinity for awards. Kimmel suggested that awards motivate the president and that giving him accolades could prompt policy action. Kimmel listed specific awards he would surrender, including a Daytime Emmy, Clio, Webby, Writers Guild Award, and a 2015 Soul Train Award.
