Jimmy Kimmel Hits Trump for Reaching ‘New Level’ of Cringe

Jimmy Kimmel somehow found something “we should be grateful” about when it comes to President Donald Trump’s cringe-inducing meeting with Japan’s first-ever female Prime Minister.

The U.S. president hosted Japanese leader Sanae Takaichi in the Oval Office on Thursday, where he made an ill-advised joke about Pearl Harbor. Trump offered the response when asked by a Japanese reporter why America did not alert allies in Asia and Europe about the U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran.
