Country Music Star Takes Brutal Dig at Trump While Hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’
The country singer said he has lost 300 pounds as he opened with jokes about Trump’s weight and a flag-waving appearance at an IndyCar race.
- On Monday, country singer Jelly Roll guest-hosted 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', surprising viewers by delivering sharp opening monologue jokes targeting President Donald Trump during his first-ever suit-and-tie appearance.
- The performance sparked confusion among fans who had perceived Roll as aligned with the MAGA movement, particularly after his 2024 UFC appearance with Trump in New York City.
- During the set, Roll ridiculed Trump's flag-waving at a Washington, DC IndyCar race as a 's**t job', quipping that Trump had 'apparently never held a flag before.'
- Referencing Washington Post reports on Trump's 14-pound weight gain, Roll noted his own 300-pound loss, quipping 'I've lost an entire Donald Trump.'
- The White House did not respond to the segment by Tuesday morning, though White House spokesperson Davis Ingle previously defended the president's energy and health against political criticism.
