Jimmy Kimmel ripped into President Donald Trump’s antics at the 2026 G7 Summit, branding his behavior as "increasingly childish." The late-night host didn’t hold back, turning Trump’s latest international embarrassment into comedic fodder.
Kimmel kicked off his monologue with a jab at earthquake warnings in California before pivoting to Trump’s late arrival in France. He noted that Trump strolled in 45 minutes behind schedule, citing aides who claimed he was on "an important call back home," which would have been around 3:30 a.m. in Washington.
"Donald Trump’s having quite a day today," Kimmel quipped, mocking the president's timing and the backlash he faced from Fox News viewers over a cringe-worthy three-word boast.
"I don’t know who he’s talking to," Kimmel remarked, setting the stage for a barrage of ridicule.
The host played a clip of Trump greeting the summit attendees with, "Well, hello. I’m the boss." Kimmel responded, "Oh man, they must hate him so much, right?" He painted a vivid picture of the conversations happening behind Trump’s back.
Trump’s complaints didn’t escape Kimmel’s scrutiny either. After taking his seat, the president whined about the height of his chair and the room temperature. "Like it’s too hot in here, huh?" Trump said in the clip.
Kimmel described Trump as looking "all steamed up" after wandering around the table, joking that in France, "they call that a soufflé." The late-night host continued to hammer home the point that Trump's behavior grows more juvenile with each international appearance.
"These other foreign leaders, I feel sorry for them. I really do," Kimmel said. He likened dealing with Trump to opening "a can of soda that got shaken up," emphasizing the inevitable chaos that follows.
In a particularly poignant moment, Kimmel highlighted a group photo from the summit where Trump stood alone as other leaders walked away. "That might be the saddest photo I’ve ever seen," he declared.
Later, Trump attended a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles. Kimmel couldn’t resist mocking their prolonged handshake, questioning whether it was a display of dominance or just an awkward attempt at friendliness.
Kimmel compared sending Trump into Versailles to "sending an ape to the opera," suggesting that Trump was likely the only person who could survey the opulence and think it needed more gold.
The host also took aim at Trump’s comments regarding a tentative Iran agreement. In one clip, Trump stated, "It’s a very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong." Kimmel retorted, "Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong. That’s how you describe the smell of a dead person before you find the body."
