🔥 HOT NEWS: Kimmel Exposes Trump and JD Vance’s Cringe Partnership — and Vance’s Attempt to Shut Him Down Backfires Spectacularly ⚡.CT
The Trump campaign thought they had a new attack dog.
Instead, they unleashed a golden retriever running headfirst into a glass door.
JD Vance has spent months trying to prove he’s the ultimate MAGA warrior — loyal to Trump, vicious to critics, and “tough” on late-night comedians. But after Jimmy Kimmel’s latest monologue, one thing is brutally obvious:
JD Vance can’t cancel Jimmy Kimmel.
He can’t even keep up with him.
Kimmel Starts With Trump — and Vance Gets Dragged In
Kimmel opened the segment by going straight at the chaos in Trump World.
On one side, MAGA die-hards are furious that Trump was friendly with New York’s new mayor. On another, they shrugged when he rolled out the red carpet for a Saudi crown prince whose goons dismembered a Washington Post columnist. Suddenly this is where they draw the line?
Kimmel’s point was simple:
They’re not mad at murder, corruption, or authoritarianism. They’re mad that Trump smiled at a guy they don’t like.
Then Kimmel twisted the knife.
He reminded viewers it’s been exactly one year since Trump’s porn star hush money trial began in New York. Back then, Trump was literally dozing off in court — “farting himself to sleep,” as Kimmel put it. Now he’s out here acting like a conquering emperor, crashing markets, starting trade wars, and demanding loyalty oaths.
Trump’s presidency, Kimmel suggested, isn’t a political project. It’s a traveling show where the main character says whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and expects applause every time.
Enter JD Vance: The Awkward Understudy
From there, Kimmel shifted his attention to JD Vance — Trump’s vice president and self-appointed culture warrior — and absolutely roasted him.
He hit Vance’s makeup-heavy TV appearances, joking that we now have a president and vice president who “wear more makeup than Kylie Jenner and Lady Gaga combined.” He dubbed Vance “Vice President Maybelline” — a nickname that stuck instantly online.
Kimmel then rolled the now-infamous Vatican clip.
Vance posted a solemn tweet after meeting Pope Francis:
“Today I met with the Holy Father… I pray for his good health. Happy Easter.”
On TV, Kimmel imagined what the Pope was really thinking in those final days:
“Holy Father, do you have any last wishes?”
“Well… not this.”
It was savage — and it worked. Social media blew up with edits, memes, and remixes of the meeting. Vance’s attempt at statesmanlike dignity turned into a punchline.
The Failed Cancellation Attempt
Instead of shaking it off, JD Vance did the one thing that makes this kind of humiliation worse: he tried to flex.
He leaned into the right-wing narrative that Jimmy Kimmel should be taken off certain stations — a censorship fantasy openly pushed by Trump allies. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr tried to pressure ABC affiliates. MAGA Twitter (and X, and Truth Social) called it a “First Amendment win” if Kimmel vanished.
So what happened?
Kimmel came on air and calmly said:
Good news, J-Dog — we’re back on all the stations.
Then he lit him up.
He mocked Vance’s claim that Kimmel’s show should be dropped because of “bad ratings,” comparing Vance’s popularity to “somewhere between a hair in your salad and chlamydia.” He joked that he’s not the one who’ll end up doing mascara tutorials on YouTube.
The message underneath the jokes was crystal clear:
You didn’t cancel me. You tried… and you failed. Loudly.
Vance as Trump’s Glitchy Shadow
Kimmel then zoomed out to the bigger picture — the Trump/Vance partnership itself.
He showed clip after clip of Trump in full performance mode:
the dramatic pauses, the exaggerated hand gestures, the wild claims about crime, war, Europe, and even Greenland.
Beside him, there’s JD Vance:
- Nodding too hard at weird moments
- Smiling half a second too late
- Echoing Trump’s talking points like someone reading from a delayed teleprompter
- Trying to project “alpha energy” and landing on “confused intern”
Kimmel framed Vance as a political understudy desperately trying to mirror a role he doesn’t fully understand. Trump is chaotic, unhinged, and theatrically dangerous. Vance is stiff, over-rehearsed, and constantly one beat behind.
When leaked chats revealed that Vance had quietly pushed back on one of Trump’s more extreme bombing plans — telling colleagues “I’m not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message” — Kimmel used it to twist the knife again.
Vance, he suggested, is stuck in a no-win role:
Too scared to openly defy Trump.
Too obvious when he tries to copy him.
Too thin-skinned to handle a late-night monologue.
The Punchline: You Can’t “Cancel” What’s Getting Bigger
Kimmel closed by portraying the Trump–Vance duo as a touring act:
- Trump as the star who demands constant spotlight
- Vance as the B-list co-star trying not to get cut from the poster
And now Vance wants to censor the critic… on national TV.
The result?
Kimmel’s segment went viral.
Clips racked up views across platforms.
Memes about “Vice President Maybelline” and “Shady Vance” flooded timelines.
JD Vance tried to cancel Jimmy Kimmel.
Instead, he helped give him one of his strongest monologues of the year — and cemented himself as the guy who can’t take a joke, can’t control the narrative, and definitely can’t keep up.
