Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers used their latest monologues to hammer Donald Trump over his G7 conduct, an alleged Iran peace deal and a geography mistake involving Qatar and Iran.
45 minutes late to a G7 meeting, Trump was portrayed by Kimmel as acting like “the boss,” while Republicans were cited as calling the Iran deal a major blunder that handed Tehran leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.
Kimmel said the deal cost billions in bombs and missiles, many American and civilian lives, and at least $300 billion, while Trump himself described it at the summit as “very strong” without explaining its terms.
Meyers widened the attack by mocking Trump’s claim that he understands war “better than anyone,” his comment that the deal “should” reopen Hormuz, and his false suggestion he could walk across the border between Iran and Qatar.
The monologues show late-night TV folding Trump’s foreign-policy messaging and summit behavior into a broader narrative of incompetence, with Meyers also ridiculing algae-filled renovations at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
