Jimmy Kimmel has torn into Donald Trump after the president's NBC interview, where the president refused to rule out a third term in office.
Talk show host Kimmel highlighted the many shortcomings of the president from the interview, including a comment on how the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were deemed "bad publicity" for the government by Trump. Speaking during the opening monologue of his talk show, Kimmel highlighted a handful of tough moments from the president in the sit down with NBC.
Kimmel said, "Trump believes that, ultimately, what we have here is a simple failure in communicating. That's the real tragedy, the impact on publicity. Nobody ever talks about the tens of thousands of people we don't murder at these protests.
"Trump said so many dumb and embarrassing things during the interview, he may have to sue himself for another $10billion dollars. The good news is we only have three more years of this left."
A clip of Trump refusing to rule out being president in 2029 then played, where the president says it would be "less exciting" if people knew whether he would run for a third term.
Kimmel added, "I feel like I speak for the vast majority of Americans when I say we are ready for our lives to be so much less exciting. I think we would enjoy living in a country where we don't all feel like being on the back of the bus from Speed morning, noon, and night."
The family of Renee Good, who was shot and killed last month by an ICE agent, have since criticized the government. Her brother, Luke Ganger, said, "The deep distress our family feels because of (Renee’s) loss in such a violent and unnecessary way is complicated by feelings of disbelief, distress and desperation for change."
"The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation," he added. "This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents — these encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives, including ours, forever.”
