Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Trump’s Iran Negotiations as 'Bad Sex' in Late-Night Roast

Jimmy Kimmel lampooned President Donald Trump’s negotiating tactics with Iran, likening them to a poor sexual encounter during his opening monologue on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“But this is how he does it. For him, a negotiation, it’s like sex,”

Kimmel quipped. “He’s bad at it. It mostly consists of flailing around. And he can only do it for a short amount of time before he starts yelling that he’s finished.”

The ABC late-night host dedicated most of his segment to mocking reports that the White House is close to finalizing a deal with Iran, despite escalating tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

“The details of this supposed deal are still very much in flux,”

Kimmel said. “As in, what the flux are we doing over there?”

He also ridiculed the reported terms of the potential agreement, which may include a uranium enrichment moratorium lasting more than 10 years. Kimmel drew a comparison to the Obama-era nuclear deal, which imposed restrictions for up to 15 years—a pact Trump frequently criticized during his first term.

“And now he’s going to top it by making an even worse worst deal in history,”

Kimmel joked. “It’s called The Art of the Deal. Folks, you should read the book.”

The late-night host also took aim at the administration’s shifting terminology for the conflict with Iran, noting that officials avoid labeling it a war to bypass congressional approval.

“One of the most ridiculous things about this war is that half the time they talk about it, they don’t call it a war because you’re supposed to get approval from Congress to go to war, which Trump did not do,”

Kimmel said.

He continued, mocking Trump’s evolving descriptions of the conflict:

“He calls it a skirmish,”

Kimmel responded to a clip of Trump discussing the situation. “First it was an excursion, then it was a mini war. And now it’s a skirmish. Next month it’ll be a tiff. It’ll be a $200 billion tiff.”

The host also poked fun at Trump’s explanation of maritime drug trafficking, which the president described in a confusing manner.

“Drug traffic coming into our country’s way down. And by sea, by sea, by ocean, by the water. You know, a lot of people say, ‘What do you mean by sea? Is it sea like vision?’ No, it’s the sea,”

Trump said in the clip.

Kimmel responded:

“Oh, I thought it was the sea like senile. I didn’t know. I know I was also confused by that.”
