Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Trump Rally With Wit, Calling It Kamala’s “Closing Argument”
In a recent monologue, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel held nothing back while satirizing Donald Trump’s New York rally, playfully characterizing it as “more of a closing argument” for Kamala Harris than Trump himself. Kimmel’s mockery zeroed in on what he described as the rally’s “ugly, hateful, and racist” undertones, quickly turning his commentary into an extensive roast. The comedian jokingly referred to rally attendees as “The Clueless Klux Klan,” and even mentioned how Trump’s event featured numerous figures from what he called “The Turd Reich,” bringing humor to the heavy critiques he voiced.
At the heart of Kimmel’s monologue was his commentary on the controversial remarks made by one of the rally’s speakers, Tony Hinchcliffe, who targeted Puerto Ricans with racially insensitive remarks. Hinchcliffe’s choice of words was, in Kimmel’s words, “the moment you know you’ve got a problem,” especially after the joke led to Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny joining the chorus of disapproval. In reference to the strained relationship between Trump and Puerto Ricans, Kimmel quipped that “Trump made such a mess, they’re throwing paper towels back at him now,” recalling Trump’s much-criticized response to Hurricane Maria.

Kimmel also took aim at some notable figures present at the rally. He chuckled about wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who, according to Kimmel, struggled to rip his shirt like he used to at 71, and Elon Musk, whom he described as oozing “natural charm” in his usual ironic tone. The monologue continued to spotlight other prominent figures like Tucker Carlson and Robert Kennedy Jr., adding a clip that underscored his mocking commentary on the rally’s “celebrity” lineup.
Kimmel’s most memorable jab, however, came with his humor on Melania Trump’s reluctance to kiss her husband on stage, which he humorously likened to “watching a man and his wife try not to smudge each other’s Bronson cream.” It’s moments like these that brought humor to his cutting analysis, capturing the awkwardness of the moment with ease. He remarked on the rally’s vibe overall, labeling it “crude, hateful, and unhinged”—hardly characteristics of an ideal closing argument to woo voters.
By weaving humor into his critiques, Kimmel provided his audience with a comedic yet pointed perspective on current politics, infusing his sharp wit into every punchline. In doing so, he manages to take serious subjects and shed light on them with satire, helping his viewers see through the spectacle with a laugh.
