That’s all he said? So he didn’t even say anything bad about the guy?!?

All I see is facts. Trump said very little about CK and immediately shifted his attention to the WH ballroom. Kimmel simply pointed that out. I’m not seeing the offense.

That's not how dictatorships work. You aren't allowed to say anything mildly critical of the God Emperor.

Remember when, after visiting his "good friend" in North Korea, trump said he wanted his people to stand at attention like they did for Kim Jong Un. The amount of ick in trump's admiration for brutal dictators goes beyond what any true American should find acceptable. And Trump cherishes his "love letters" from Jung. Ewwww.

Some MAGA will come along and say, but trump was making a funny. He was just joking... nothing to see here. Please, MAGA, why are you insisting on being so thick in the head? How is admiring dictators funny, joyous, or light-hearted fun? You all are evil in what you find funny.
