"It took barely a glance at Donald Trump's social media posts on Tuesday for Jimmy Kimmel to know: We've got a code orange de-mental emergency going on here right now. I mean, he's gone. He's totally gone. The host focused in particular on the US president's meltdown over the $4.6bn Gordie Howe international bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, which Trump falsely claimed had been built with virtually no US content."
"And of course, all of this, every bit of this, is an effort to distract us from Trump's name appearing in the Epstein files more than 1m times, according to representative Jamie Raskin, who has reviewed the unredacted files. There's only 3m pages in the whole thing, Kimmel noted. That's more than Harry Potter gets mentioned in all seven Harry Potter books."
"Also in the Epstein files is Trump's commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, who claimed that he and his wife cut ties with Epstein in 2005, after the financier made an inappropriate remark and the couple decided to never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again. However, unsealed emails indicate that Lutnick visited Epstein's island in 2012, seven years after he allegedly cut ties with him."
Jimmy Kimmel mocked Donald Trump's social media meltdown over the $4.6bn Gordie Howe international bridge and his false claim that it was built with virtually no US content. Kimmel noted Trump's threat to block the bridge opening and joked about renaming it. Kimmel connected the bridge controversy to efforts to distract from Trump's extensive presence in the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, saying Trump's name appears more than one million times according to Representative Jamie Raskin. Kimmel compared that frequency humorously to Harry Potter mentions. The files also implicate Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who claimed he cut ties in 2005 but visited Epstein's island in 2012 and admitted to lunching with him on a family vacation.
