In a stunning and volatile moment that took everyone by surprise, former President Donald Trump lost his temper today after comedian and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel aired a controversial segment exposing Karoline Leavitt, one of Trump’s staunchest supporters, on live television.

The exchange, which took place on the popular “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show, has ignited a firestorm of political drama, with both Trump’s and Leavitt’s supporters reacting fiercely to what transpired.

For anyone who has followed Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, it’s no secret that he has often used his platform to mock political figures, including the former president. However, few could have predicted that Kimmel’s latest joke would escalate to the point of sparking an all-out war between Trump, his team, and the comedian.

What started as a routine television appearance quickly morphed into an explosive encounter, with Kimmel taking direct aim at Leavitt—who has made a name for herself as one of Trump’s most vocal defenders. When Kimmel exposed details of her controversial past, it set off a chain reaction that caught both Trump and the live audience completely off guard.

The Kimmel Segment

It all began innocuously enough. Kimmel had invited a group of political pundits and commentators onto his show to discuss the latest developments surrounding Trump’s legal battles and political career. Among the guests was Karoline Leavitt, who has become one of Trump’s most ardent supporters in recent years, particularly through her outspoken advocacy of his policies and public defense of his actions.

Kimmel, known for his biting humor, opened the segment by teasing Leavitt with a series of light-hearted jokes. However, the mood took a sharp turn when Kimmel launched into a detailed, well-researched monologue exposing several moments from Leavitt’s past that had been kept under wraps. Kimmel’s audience, which had been laughing along at his usual jabs, was suddenly stunned into silence as the comedian aired old footage and made pointed remarks about Leavitt’s history with Trump’s inner circle.

“Karoline here has been a key voice in defending Trump’s more… questionable actions. But let’s take a trip down memory lane and remind the viewers just how deep this rabbit hole goes,” Kimmel said, with a mischievous grin. He then proceeded to show clips from Leavitt’s past television appearances, where she had made some eyebrow-raising statements that contradicted some of the positions she now holds.

One particular moment from her early career, in which Leavitt had criticized Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, was played for the audience. Kimmel pointed out how Leavitt’s stance had seemingly shifted overnight, raising questions about her motivations. He then aired another clip where Leavitt had referred to Trump’s controversial immigration policies as “inhumane,” a stark contrast to the strong public support she now voices for the same policies.
