Kimmel Mocks Trump's NBA Finals Nap
10 Jun
Summary
- Trump appeared to fall asleep during the NBA Finals.
- Kimmel joked about Trump's nap on his show.
- Trump's appearance coincided with the end of a winning streak.
Jimmy Kimmel celebrated Donald Trump's appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where the former president appeared to fall asleep. Kimmel had anticipated this possibility, and on his show, he poked fun at Trump's slumber during the Knicks vs. Spurs game.
The late-night host quipped that Trump made history by "shutting down a city" for a nap at the event. He speculated that taxpayer money was spent for Trump to attend and then fall asleep. Kimmel expressed hope that Joe Biden found the spectacle amusing.
Trump's attendance was met with boos from fans, and his presence coincided with the Knicks' 13-game winning streak coming to an end. The Knicks organization attempted to mitigate a negative reception by showing Trump on the Jumbotron during the national anthem, a strategy Kimmel noted was unsuccessful.
