Jimmy Kimmel Previews Season 2 of Trump’s ‘Celebrity Appresident’

One week after convicted felon Donald Trump won a second presidential term in the White House, the twice-impeached former president has already done that announced several important board appointments and nominations.

On Tuesdays, nightly host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at the loyalists Trump picked to staff the White House and his Cabinet, from tapping South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to head the Department of Homeland Security to choosing a Fox News personality Piet Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense.

“We’re starting to get a better idea of ​​what season two of the series is Famous president might look like this,” Kimmel said. “According to his new chief of staff, Susie Wiles, Trump plans to issue a number of executive orders on day one: he wants four Big Macs, six large fries, two buckets of KFC,” the cartoon character joked before noting, “In Additionally, he wants to issue executive orders that eliminate immigration and in his ongoing fight against climate.”

Kimmel also joked about Elon Musk, whom Trump announced on Tuesday that he would be a new ‘Ministry of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.

“(Musk’s) basically moved to Mar-a-Lago,” Kimmel said before showing a video inviting the Tesla CEO to take a photo with the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago. “Melania was not in the photo, but Elon was,” the late-night host noted. “Melania, see what you get for a hundred million dollars?”

Elsewhere, Kimmel highlighted Trump’s choice to put Noem in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, which will be charged with carrying out the president-elect’s extremist immigration agenda. Earlier this year, Noem received backlash after she bragged in her memoir about shooting and killing a puppy she deemed “untrainable.” The comedian joked that Trump’s pick would be responsible for protecting “our nation from unruly labradoodles”

“One of Trump’s main messages during the campaign was about killing the pets: ‘They’re eating the dogs! They eat the cats!’” Kimmel continued, referring to Trump’s false claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. “He goes out and hires the woman who shot her puppy. Kristi Noem should not be in charge of a Pet Smart, let alone Homeland Security.”

Kimmel also reflected that after Trump tapped Hegseth, “a guy on the Fox & Friends Weekend Edition,To become Secretary of Defense, Hulk Hogan must be devastated.

Before wrapping up the monologue, Kimmel took a quick walk down memory lane and rolled up footage from the 2016 Republican Party primaries in which the Florida senator and Trump exchanged verbal insults. In response to Trump calling Rubio “little Marco,” the senator called Trump a “con artist” and said he had “small hands” at the time.

Trump said Tuesday he plans to choose Rubio as his secretary of state. “It’s vintage Trump. You call someone an idiot until he or she kneels, and then you take him or her in your arms and pray to him or her like a baby,” Kimmel said.
