Jimmy Kimmel Slams Trump's Mueller Remarks

0:00It's March 24th. I'm Cory with the story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Jimmy Kimmel ripped into former President Donald Trump this week for celebrating the death of Robert Mueller, the former FBI director and purple heart, recipient who passed away at age 81. Trump posted online the day after Mueller died, saying he was glad and that Mueller could no longer hurt innocent people. He'll call the classic pettiness from Trump, who just could not resist gloating. Kimmel joked that Trump lies so much the truth slips out in weird ways, like this outburst after holding it into long. He pointed out Trump, always finds time to act small, no matter what else is going on. To highlight the contrast, Kimmel ran through Mueller's long list of honors in public service over the years. Plenty of others pout on the criticism too. From the view, hosts like Sunny Hostin called Trump's words especially wrong for a former president, while Anna Navarro labeled him mean with no.

1:00Self-control, fans and viewers echo that sentiment across social media. Trump's side tried to defend it, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claiming on, meet the press, then Mueller led in a legal raid on Trump's. Mar-a-Lago home. Kimmel fired back by showing old clips where Trump and his team bragged that Mueller's report fully cleared him of wrongdoing. In the end, Kimmel noted Trump did not even need to say anything. He could have stayed quiet, just like he has on other tough topics. The backlash keeps growing as more people call out the unnecessary meanness.
