A late-night talk show host has taken aim at the president after he shared a bizarre image online that appeared to show himself as a Christ-like figure, and the reaction quickly turned into widespread mockery.
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back as he joined the growing list of critics going after Donald Trump for posting what many believe was an AI-generated image of himself in a divine, almost Jesus-like role. While a lot of people were already questioning the message behind the image, Kimmel zoomed in on the strange and almost unsettling details that made it stand out even more.
Speaking on his show, Kimmel joked about how unrealistic parts of the image looked. He pointed out that Trump’s hands appeared completely normal in size, which he sarcastically said made the whole thing less believable, referencing long-running jokes about Trump’s hand size. But that was only the beginning.
He went on to describe the background of the image, which oddly included fighter jets flying overhead, adding a dramatic and almost apocalyptic tone, along with a creature that looked very similar to the Demogorgon from Stranger Things. The mix of religious imagery, military power, and a monster from a sci-fi horror show made the whole thing feel confusing and surreal.
However, the moment that really caught attention was what Kimmel called the “weirdest detail” of all. In the image, Trump appeared to be healing a sick man, but Kimmel said that the man looked strikingly similar to Jeffrey Epstein.
The audience reacted with loud gasps as the show displayed a side-by-side comparison of the figure in the image and Epstein, making the resemblance even harder to ignore. Kimmel then delivered a sharp joke, saying that not even artificial intelligence could separate Trump from his “best friend Jeff,” a line that drew both laughter and shock.
At the same time, Jon Stewart also weighed in on the image on his own show. While he didn’t focus on Epstein, he made his own joke, claiming that the man being healed actually looked more like him, adding another layer of ridicule to the already controversial post.
After facing heavy backlash online, Trump eventually deleted the image. He later defended it by saying that it was meant to show him as a doctor, not as a religious figure. But for many critics, that explanation didn’t really match what they had already seen, and the damage had already been done in terms of public reaction.
Even more confusion followed shortly after when Melania Trump made an unexpected public statement saying she had no relationship with Epstein.
The timing of her comment raised eyebrows, especially since no direct question had been asked at that moment. Some people were left wondering why she felt the need to bring it up, while others speculated that she might have been trying to get ahead of a story or avoid future controversy.
