Jimmy Kimmel Skewers Trump’s 84-Minute Jan. 6 Anniversary Speech on ABC

The monologue challenges attempts to recast the Capitol attack.

Overview

  • Kimmel labeled the address “the tantrum of the opera” and questioned the president’s coherence.
  • He aired a highlight reel titled “Real Moments in Presidementia” featuring odd noises, exaggerated hand gestures and the familiar dance.
  • The host accused the administration of pushing a revisionist narrative of January 6 and said Trump tried to overthrow the government to stay in office.
  • He mocked Speaker Mike Johnson over reports he refused to hang a plaque honoring law enforcement who defended the Capitol.
  • The sharper critique follows the show’s brief 2025 pullback and reinstatement, with Kimmel now secured under a Disney/ABC deal through 2027.
