Late-night talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers addressed Donald Trump's recent social media attacks, including his call for Kimmel's firing due to low ratings. Kimmel responded with humor, suggesting that if ratings were the reason for dismissal, both he and Trump should be out of jobs. He pointed out that Trump is currently engaged in multiple conflicts, including with 'Iranians, Ukrainians, and comedians.' Kimmel also praised a few Republicans for defending free speech despite his past jabs at them.
Seth Meyers reacted to another Trump post featuring an AI-generated image of Trump with a machine gun, questioning the appropriateness of such imagery from a sitting president. He expressed concern over Trump's erratic behavior and leadership during wartime, jokingly referencing Kid Rock's involvement with military personnel.
Additionally, on 'The Daily Show,' Josh Johnson discussed the Supreme Court's ruling that Louisiana must redraw its congressional map, which he argued undermines the Voting Rights Act. He criticized the ruling as a setback for civil rights, noting how it could erase Black congressional representation in the South. Johnson's commentary highlighted the absurdity of the court's logic regarding race in redistricting.
