Jimmy Kimmel Hits 'MAGA Hat' Trump Fans With A Scathing Reality Check

The late night host shows how the president is hurting his own base.
Jimmy Kimmel warned President Donald Trump’s base that his first big tariff deal shows he doesn’t really care about them.
Trump on Thursday announced a trade deal with the United Kingdom that essentially triples the taxes that Americans will pay on British goods.
“He is very proud of himself for making a trade agreement with a country we were trading with just fine until he screwed it all up,” Kimmel said.
The late night host noted that some companies such as Rolls Royce got a special break in the deal. While most imported cars now face a 25% tariff, Trump agreed to cut that to 10% for British automakers, which are mostly luxury brands.
“Rest easy, Ma and Pa MAGA hat,” Kimmel snaked. “You’re still gonna lose the farm, but you’ll only have to pay 10% extra on that Rolls-Royce you’ve had your eye on.”
