"Since taking office in 2017,
Donald Trump now made more than 13,000 false or misleading claims — that doesn't even count the ones he tells Melania at home,"
Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "He's averaging an incredible 13.5 false claims per day — that's like a lie per Diet Coke for him." Thirteen thousand is a lot of times to do anything, "although in fairness to Trump, most of the lies are the same four lies over and over again," he said: "The wall's being built, he's done more than any president, he hasn't done anything illegal, and he's a stable genius. Maybe we should stop counting these."Seriously, "counting lies makes us sound like nerds," Kimmel said, and "it doesn't change anyone's mind. I mean, what's the plan? Trump's gonna hit 15,000 and suddenly your uncle will say, 'Mah, okay, I'm for
Elizabeth Warren now'? It's not going to happen.""This
Ukraine storm is not letting up," Kimmel said. "We learned from testimony yesterday that Trump's former national security adviser,
John Bolton, was so concerned about Trump's little arm-twist in Ukraine" he told his top
Russia expert to report it to
White House lawyers, and he called
Rudy Giuliani "a hand grenade" and said "he would not be part of whatever 'drug deal' Trump's team was 'cooking up' in Ukraine. And this is surprising, because I mean who could have predicted that this guy was unhappy with Trump," he deadpanned, teeing up a photo montage of Bolton glaring at Trump from various angles.Kimmel also laughed at Sean Spicer's latest dance with the stars and briefly explained the
Syria situation to Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who said on
Fox News that Americans don't even know who the
Kurds are. Watch below.
