Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday mocked Donald Trump‘s Easter social media rant and Lara Trump’s latest musical venture.
What Happened: Kimmel highlighted that the former president posted 77 times on Truth Social during Easter Sunday. He jokingly remarked, “If that was your dad, you’d have him put away, right?”
Kimmel didn’t spare Trump’s daughter-in-law and RNC co-chair Lara Trump, who chose Easter to release her new song, “Anything Is Possible,” which was contrasted with Beyonce’s acclaimed album “Cowboy Carter,” released the same day.
While Beyonce’s album received widespread praise, Lara Trump’s musical effort faced mostly scorn. Kimmel succinctly summed up her song in five words, stating, “Autotune doesn’t work on everybody.”
Why It Matters: This development follows a series of events that have kept Trump in the news. Trump managed to post a $175 million bond in a New York civil fraud case, thereby avoiding potential asset seizure by the state.
On Monday, the judge presiding over the former president’s upcoming New York criminal trial has expanded a partial gag order. This action comes in response to Trump's online attacks against the judge’s daughter.
Trump also faced criticism for commercializing sacred items by selling $60 "God Bless the USA" Bibles. His legal team had also sought another delay for his hush-money trial, citing concerns over pretrial publicity and potential bias among Manhattan residents.
