Late-Night Hosts Mock Trump’s Pearl Harbor Joke

In the absence of Stephen Colbert's show, late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers took the stage on Thursday, delivering a mix of political satire and lighthearted humor.

Kimmel targeted Trump's recent visit to Japan, where he met with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The host poked fun at Trump's gift of 250 cherry trees, suggesting he might use them for a Waffle House. He also criticized Trump's attempt to draw a parallel between the Pearl Harbor attack and his surprise attacks in Iran, stating that Trump's knowledge of the historical event likely stems from the Ben Affleck movie.

The conversation then shifted to the ongoing Epstein investigations. Kimmel highlighted a newly unredacted email from 2009, contradicting Trump's claim that Epstein was banned from Mar-a-Lago. The email reveals that Trump himself stated Epstein was never a member and may have been a guest.

Meyers joined in on the Trump jokes, mocking his comments about Pearl Harbor and his lack of language skills. He also addressed the partial government shutdown, noting the struggles of TSA agents working without pay, some even resorting to selling blood to make ends meet.

The hosts covered a range of topics, from Trump's meeting with Ireland's prime minister to the most popular puppy names in the US, providing a blend of political commentary and entertainment.
