Jimmy Kimmel Torches Trump’s 2026 State of the Union: Calls Him ‘Nutjob Wannabe King’ Killing Americans

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back in his latest monologue, absolutely tearing into Donald Trump’s State of the Union address from Tuesday night. The speech dragged on for over 100 minutes—some reports say 107 or 108—and Kimmel called it rambling and incoherent, joking that Trump’s version of dementia makes him nostalgic for Joe Biden’s, because at least that one felt “friendlier.”

He zeroed in on a moment where Trump went after Somali residents in Minnesota, accusing them of “plundering America,” and pushed the crowd to stand if they believed the government’s main job is protecting citizens over “illegal aliens.” But Kimmel pointed out the irony, noting how Trump skipped any mention of the recent tragedies in Minnesota where ICE agents were involved in the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti earlier this year.

Kimmel summed it up with some sharp words: “Here’s the real State of the Union, OK? We have a nutjob wannabe king who’s doing everything he can to censor opinions he doesn’t want to hear. He has his goons arresting, incarcerating, and killing American citizens. He’s cut funding for cancer research and children’s hospitals while he rakes in literally billions for himself and his family. He’s coming after our right to vote. He’s protecting pedophiles and won’t explain it. He’s lining the pockets of billionaires, all while neglecting the sick, the poor, the hungry. In the name of Jesus, by the way, who you could read all about in a Donald Trump edition of the ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ that’s made in China and available for $99.99. That is the State of the Union.”

He wrapped up the bit by wondering if a two-hour ramble even counts as a speech anymore, or if it just turns into a full-on “conniption fit.”

Kimmel’s been pretty consistent with these kinds of takedowns on Trump, and this one fits right in—he even referenced an earlier roast about Trump griping over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show not being mostly in English. Classic Kimmel, keeping it raw and unfiltered. You can catch the full monologue clip if you want to see it play out.
