🔥 BREAKING: TRUMP ERUPTS After JIMMY KIMMEL HUMILIATES Him on Live TV — SAVAGE LATE-NIGHT MOMENT Leaves Studio in CHAOS ⚡

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the collision of politics, memory, and satire played out not in the halls of Congress but under the bright lights of late-night television. Jimmy Kimmel, returning from a winter break, used his opening monologue to deliver a blistering critique of Donald Trump, accusing the former president—now again wielding executive power—of attempting to overthrow the government and of leading a campaign to rewrite the history of that day.

Kimmel’s remarks came as Trump addressed House Republicans in what was billed as a policy-focused retreat. Instead, the president delivered an 84-minute speech that veered through grievances, self-praise, and digressions—what Kimmel mockingly labeled a “tantrum of the opera.” The timing, Kimmel emphasized, was impossible to ignore: January 6, a date that for many Americans remains synonymous with violence, democratic fragility, and the refusal of a sitting president to accept electoral defeat.

“There is no other way to put it,” Kimmel told his audience. Trump, he said, “tried to overthrow our government in a pathetic and illegal attempt to stay in the White House.” The monologue echoed a point long made by courts, historians, and even Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, who had refused Trump’s pressure to block certification of the 2020 election results.

Kimmel’s critique went beyond January 6 itself, drawing a line between that episode and what he described as a broader effort by the administration to normalize behavior once considered unthinkable. He cited the White House’s recent public suggestion that the use of military force remained an option in discussions about acquiring Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark and a part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The notion of threatening a NATO ally, Kimmel suggested, illustrated how far the boundaries of presidential rhetoric—and policy—had shifted. “This isn’t speculation,” he said. “This is an official statement.”

The monologue also turned toward the judiciary, focusing on the annual report released by John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Roberts’ report emphasized the enduring principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, but avoided direct mention of Trump or the events of January 6.

To Kimmel, the omission spoke volumes. While acknowledging the report’s historical sweep, he criticized it as a “coded message” that failed to confront what he described as an unprecedented assault on democratic norms. He contrasted the lofty language of constitutional endurance with recent court decisions that, in his view, had expanded presidential immunity and weakened accountability.

Throughout the monologue, humor served as both weapon and lens. Kimmel replayed clips of Trump’s speech—its odd cadences, meandering “weaves,” and signature dance moves—allowing the absurdity to speak for itself. But the laughter was consistently tethered to a sober reminder: five years earlier, police officers were beaten, lawmakers hid for their lives, and the peaceful transfer of power was interrupted by violence.

Kimmel also highlighted symbolic disputes that continue to animate Washington. He noted that Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to hang a plaque honoring Capitol Police officers who defended Congress on January 6, while partisan messages attacking political opponents found space on government walls. “The same party that chanted ‘Hang Mike Pence’ won’t hang a plaque honoring the cops who protected him,” Kimmel remarked.

In the closing moments of the monologue, Kimmel returned to his central theme: memory. Against what he called a growing effort to minimize or sanitize January 6, he urged viewers not to forget. Satire, he suggested, has a role to play—not merely in mocking power, but in preserving a shared understanding of what happened when democratic norms were tested.

Five years on, as Trump once again dominates American political life, Kimmel’s message was less about comedy than about vigilance. “It was a selfish, disgraceful, tyrannical, and dangerous act,” he said of the events of January 6. “And it’s very important that we do not forget that.”
