'This Is The Plan Now': Jimmy Kimmel Blows The Whistle On Trump's Newest 'Gaslighting'

1 month ago 1

President Donald Trump this week claimed the United States is “the only country anybody’s even talking about,” and Jimmy Kimmel had to agree.

But for an entirely different reason.

“It’s true,” Kimmel allowed. “But they’re talking about us the same way people talk about the Diddy trial: It’s with curiosity, disbelief and revulsion.”

Trump bragged about the economy despite wild swings in the stock market, which Kimmel said was part of a new strategy by the president.

“This is apparently the plan now: Things are not getting better, so he’s just gonna say they are better,” he said. “Same way he keeps saying the price of gas is below $2 a gallon. He’s gaslighting us about gas!”
