Jimmy Kimmel Remixes North Korean State Media to Mock Trump’s Golf Tournament Claims | Video

For some pretty obvious reasons, Jimmy Kimmel does not buy Donald Trump’s ridiculous claim to be some kind of golfing legend — somehow only while playing at his own golf clubs, of course — and he used his monologue on Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to mock him at length.

And at one point, the ABC host remixed a real North Korean state TV broadcast so that it made absurd claims about Donald Trump instead of Kim John Un.

First, Kimmel noted how Trump bragged about winning a golf tournament at his club while devastating storms ravaged America, killing 42.

“While the devastation was happening our commander in chief meteorologist was back at Mar-a-Lago again, playing golf. As the storms raged, he offered these words of comfort to those who lost their families and their homes,” Kimmel said, at which point he quote Trump verbatim.

“He wrote, “I just won the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida. Such a great honor! The Awards dinner is tonight at the Club. I want to thank the wonderful Golf Staff, and all of the many fantastic golfers, that participated in the event. Such fun!”

“Such fun indeed. This, of course, comes after Trump chided Joe Biden last year for being on vacation during Hurricane Helene. If you scored hypocrisy like golf, he’d be 30 strokes under par right now,” Kimmel continued. “Can you imagine if Biden bragged about winning a golf tournament during a disaster? Sean Hannity would have a rage boner for weeks.”

“But I don’t want to, you know what? I don’t want to lose focus on the fact that Trump won his own Tournament again,” Kimmel added with heavy sarcasm. “Wow. This is the third year in a row he’s won his own tournament. Who are the other players in this tournament? I mean, seriously, are there other golfers, or is it just Eric with his Fisher Price clubs?”

“I laughed when North Korean state media reported that Kim Jong Il had 11 holes in one, the first time he ever played golf. We’re getting pretty close to that,” Kimmel went on. Then he cued up the clip of NK state media.

As the North Korean anchor spoke, an English language ‘translation’ said, The president, Donald J Trump, has announced to us his American children, that yet again, he has emerged victorious in the Tournament of golf, which bears his sacred nameI”

“Thousands have taken to the streets io celebrate our strong and omnipotent leader’s historic triumph,” the ‘translation’ continued, as footage of St. Patrick’s Day revelry showed onscreen. “Boundless esteem to our glorious president and his mighty penis, in which comparison, all others fail.”
