Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Comments About Trump and God
“Even God was like, ‘What the hell?’” the late-night host joked.
“As more and more members of the president's inner circle get fitted for handcuffs, some of the president's supporters are still hardcore,” Jimmy Kimmel said during his monologue Thursday night. “Chief among them his press secretary, Sarah Hucka-B.S., who said in an interview on CBN tonight that she believes Trump is in power thanks to the Lord God himself.”
Speaking to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times, and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that’s why he’s there.”
“No, he didn't,” Kimmel replied, laughing. “Even God was like, ‘What the hell? I can't take my eyes off you people for a minute!’”
The host also told a handful of jokes Wednesday night about a tweet President Trump sent earlier in the day urging his intelligence chiefs to “go back to school” after they publicly disagreed with him on the biggest threats facing the United States. Referring to Iran, Trump wrote, “There [sic] economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back.”

“And of course, he used the wrong spelling for of the word ‘their,’” Kimmel said. “Only Donald Trump would tell someone to go back to school while making a grammatical mistake.”
