Jimmy Kimmel used his Tuesday night monologue to address former President Donald Trump's recent focus on his personal interests and the Republican Party's significant losses in the midterm elections.
Kimmel quipped that after Trump's recent comments on various individuals' physiques, the only "ass" on his mind was the one "that just got handed to him" in the midterms. He also alluded to the midterm results affecting individuals like JD Vance, suggesting a shift in political favor.
The comedian then turned to the reasons behind the GOP's performance, questioning Trump's priorities. Kimmel highlighted a disconnect between the issues Americans are concerned about – such as corruption, inflation, housing, climate change, and healthcare – and what he characterized as Trump's focus on topics like testosterone, windmills, and other perceived distractions.
Kimmel presented a list of Trump's apparent preoccupations on a screen behind him, juxtaposing them with the voters' concerns. He concluded by suggesting that the president's electoral setbacks were a direct consequence of these misaligned priorities.
A video clip of Kimmel's monologue was included, detailing his remarks on the election results and Trump's perceived disconnect from voter concerns.
