Jimmy Kimmel fires off 71 brutal nicknames for Trump as ‘No Kings’ protests heat up nationwide.NH
Jimmy Kimmel may be the poster child for trolling Trump.
The late-night host shared a “protest sign nickname guide” for those planning to participate in the “No Kings” demonstrations slated to take place in over 2,500 locations across the United States on Saturday.
The Friday post on Instagram featured seventy-one nicknames that protesters could use to cleverly mock Trump. Many took a not-so-subtle jab at the president’s documented love for fast food, including: “Burger Jean King,” and “Crunchwrap Supreme Leader.”
Kimmel also nodded to Trump’s apparent aversion to the truth with the moniker “Lyin’ King.”
“No Kings” protests were organized nationwide in opposition to what many view as Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and his increasing militarization of American cities. The movement is backed by a wide-ranging coalition, including civil rights advocates, environmental activists, and political figures.
Kimmel’s late night show was suspended on Sept. 17, following threats from the Federal Communications Commission over his comments about the assassination of right-wing personality Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel returned to the air on Sep. 23. after public outcry over his suspension.
ABC reported that his comeback broadcast garnered 6.3 million viewers, with over 26 million people watching on social media.
