Jimmy Kimmel Doubts Trump's Grasp of Economics
Briefly

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s proposal to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China has been met with near-universal criticism from economists, who warn that such policies will inevitably lead to higher prices for consumers across the board.
Jimmy Kimmel highlights the irony of Trump’s expertise in business amid his proposed tariffs, stating, ‘Whoever would have guessed that the mail-order steak salesman who declared bankruptcy six times would be so bad with money?’ This underscores skepticism about Trump’s financial judgments.
As tariffs might impact consumer products, Jimmy Fallon jokes that if you want extra guacamole next year, it would be cheaper to just go out and get it, underscoring concerns about rising food prices.
JimmyKimmel humorously notes how Thanksgiving dinner timings—especially at 2 p.m.—reflect a political climate where families emphasize wanting guests to leave as soon as possible, drawing a comparison to President Biden.
