Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, took another comedic swipe at former President Donald Trump, this time ridiculing him for an alleged gas emission during a campaign speech in Detroit, Michigan. Kimmel dedicated part of his monologue on Thursday night to Trump’s purported flatulence while speaking on stage.
The late-night host also addressed Trump’s baseless claim that schools are facilitating gender transitions for students, calling it a “lie” and suggesting there are more pressing issues for Americans to be concerned about.
However, Kimmel quickly shifted focus to the alleged sound from Trump’s rear, questioning whether the former president had passed gas during his Detroit address. He urged viewers to watch the clip and judge for themselves.
Jimmy Kimmel digging up a clip of Donald Trump audibly farting onstage at a rally today pretty much sums up how things are going.

This isn’t the first time Trump has been accused of breaking wind in public. Back in April, rumors surfaced that Trump may have “let it rip” during a court appearance in New York, where he faced charges related to falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. At the time, Kimmel also humorously took shots at the former president for allegedly “stinking up the joint.”
Trump, who is still awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, is continuing his 2024 presidential campaign. Should he defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, many are curious about how his legal battles will unfold.
