Jimmy Kimmel Defends Against Trump Criticism

During a recent appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Jimmy Kimmel argued that any 'reasonable person' should exhibit what he calls 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', contending that Trump is a 'dangerous' and 'stupid person' who is 'literally running for his freedom' amid legal troubles. Kimmel dismissed accusations of his own derangement syndrome as he stressed that Trump's current campaign is driven by the urgency of avoiding prison. He expressed concern over Trump's potential political retribution if re-elected, highlighting that his satirical commentary on Trump will persist despite the risks. Kimmel's views align with a broader sentiment among liberal figures who perceive Trump as a threat to democracy. Scarborough supported Kimmel's perspective, framing their dialogue as a reflection of the current political climate. This discussion occurs as the 2024 election approaches, intensifying scrutiny on Trump's legal battles and their implications for his campaign.
