Late-night hosts had a field day with Donald Trumps lengthy, fear-mongering State of the Union address. The rambling speech saw the president speaking to lawmakers for 108 minutes on Tuesday, breaking the record he set last year for the longest speech ever delivered to Congress.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show both ran special episodes to respond to Trumps address, with Jimmy Kimmel declaring, What a speech it wasnt.
The theme of tonights speech was all foreigners are murderers, Kimmel recounted. And Trump said zero illegal aliens have been allowed into the United States on his watch, but the door is always open to those who come in legally to be his next wife. So thats something. He bragged about DEI. He bragged about kicking 2 million people off food stamps. It was like a Christmas message from the Grinch.
When you ramble incoherently for two hours is that technically still a speech or does it at some point become a conniption fit? Kimmel wondered. The speech went on so long, Kristi Noems dog shot itself. blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody-uid0' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["mid-article","mid","in-article1","mid-article1","inbody","inbody1"] ) .setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ) .setSubAdUnitPath("tv-movies\/article\/inbody1") .addSize([[300,250],[620,350],[2,2],[3,3],[2,4],[4,2],[640,250],[6,6],[620,366]]) .setClsOptimization("minsize") ; });
After playing a few clips from the address, Kimmel offered his own take on the current state of the country.
Heres the real State of the Union, Kimmel said. We have a nutjob wannabe king whos doing everything he can to censor opinions he doesnt want to hear. He has his goons arresting, incarcerating, and killing American citizens. Hes cut funding for cancer research at childrens hospitals while he rakes in literally billions of dollars for himself and his family. Hes coming after our right to vote. Hes protecting pedophiles and wont explain it. Hes lining the pockets of billionaires, all while neglecting the sick, the poor, and the hungry — in the name of Jesus, by the way.
On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert delivered a live monologue following the speech, joking that he dropped an edible and strapped in to watch.
According to Trumps team, the official theme of the speech was America at 250: Strong, Prosperous, and Respected,' Colbert explained. Though if you have to say youre strong, prosperous, and respected, it kind of feels like youre not. blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody2-uid1' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["mid-article2","mid","in-article2","mid-article","inbody","inbody2"] ) .setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ) .setSubAdUnitPath("tv-movies\/article\/inbody2") .addSize([[300,250],[300,251],[620,350],[2,4],[4,2],[3,3],[2,2],[6,6],[620,366]]) .setLazyLoadMultiplier(2) .setClsOptimization("minsize") ; });
Colbert noted that Trump arrived at the address looking a little tired, but his hair was nice and fluffy. Personally, I think he could have kept his head in the cotton candy machine a little bit longer, the host said.
