Summary
ABC host Jimmy Kimmel used a manipulated “diaper” visual on Monday night to ridicule Donald Trump after the president abruptly ended a tense NBC interview with Kristen Welker.
The monologue centered on Trump’s clash over California vote-count claims, with Kimmel calling it a “Trumper tantrum” after Welker challenged him and Trump accused major TV networks of being “crooked.”
Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, answered that “nobody in their right mind cares” what the “seriously unfunny” Kimmel thinks, turning the late-night bit into a fresh media skirmish.
Kimmel also mocked Trump’s appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, saying the visit forced tighter security and disrupted fans; San Antonio beat New York 115-111.
The segment widened into a broader attack on Trump’s election rhetoric, using Los Angeles ballot-count shifts to lampoon his claims that late-counted votes signal fraud.
