Jimmy Kimmel celebrated “TACO Tuesday” by taking aim at Donald Trump after he hit pause on his genocidal threat to Iran for two weeks, marking yet another instance of the president backing down on a threat or deadline he’s imposed.
The late night host pointed to Trump’s talk of attacking Iran’s power plants, adding that it would constitute a war crime, before tossing to a clip of Trump answering a reporter who asked him about attacking the civilian infrastructure.
“You know what’s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon, allowing a sick country with demented leadership have a nuclear weapon. That’s a war crime,” said the president at an Easter event outside the White House on Monday.
Kimmel responded, “Then lock yourself up, because that’s the boat we are floating in right now!”
Later in his monologue, Kimmel highlighted several Republican critics, like ex-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Alex Jones, who called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office following his threat to destroy Iran’s “whole civilization.”
