Veteran talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, a vocal critic of the Trump administration, mocked President Donald Trump over his use of the term “Dumocrat,” which Trump recently used. Kimmel pointed out that the term was not originally coined by the President and had previously appeared on The Simpsons.
Jimmy Kimmel mocks Donald Trump for his ‘Dumocrat’ remark
Jimmy Kimmel, one of Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, mocked the President over his remark about Democrats. Trump recently used the term “Dumocrat” during a rally speech. “And I watched what he was saying and what the horrible things he was saying and I said, ‘He’s a dumb guy.’ I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s a Dumocrat.’ That’s how I got the name. You take the E out. You don’t use the B. A lot of people don’t know dumb has a B in it,” Trump said. “Actually, you don’t need it. You discard the B. But you take the E out and you replace it with a U. They’re dumb. They are Dumocrats.”
Kimmel responded by saying, “He’s particularly excited about this new nickname, ‘Dumocrats,’ which he thinks he came up with even though it was on ‘The Simpsons’ in 1994.” The host added, “He’s been workshopping a whole new bit about it. And it goes a little something like this,” before showing a clip of Trump’s speech.
After the clip, Kimmel jokingly asked producers to “run us through that one more time.” As the clip played again, Kimmel pretended to take notes, adding, “Okay. All right. I think I got it. You know, a lot of people don’t know dumb has a B in it. And that crowd he’s in front of, I think he’s right, actually.”
“I have a feeling a lot of them don’t know there’s a B in the word baby,” he added.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET.
