Jimmy Kimmel mocks Trump’s border visit as attempt ‘to sell golden high-tops on the streets of Juarez’

Jimmy Kimmel mocked Donald Trump’s upcoming border visit as an attempt by the ex-president to sell his $399 golden high-tops on the streets of Mexico.

The late-night TV host joked about Mr Trump and Joe Biden visiting the US border at the same time, saying that “if they can get two more senior citizens to go with them, they got themselves a pickleball match.”

The president and theformer president are set to visit the southern border on Thursday — albeit more than 300 miles from each other and on differing business.

Kimmelgave his Jimmy Kimmel Live! audience a rundown on what the two political rivals would be doing during their trip to Texas.

“The president is going to see what can be done to solve the border crisis; Trump is going to make sure he doesn’t solve what’s happening at the border,” Kimmel said.

“Biden’s planning to meet with US border agents while Trump is planning to sell golden high tops on the streets of Juarez,” he quipped.

While Mr Biden is meeting with border patrol agents, in reality, Mr Trump is set to speak in Eagle Pass, Texas, an area where migrants are often filmed crossing into the US to claim asylum, according to CNN.

Before he sets off to the border, Mr Trump has been taking the time to hand out various endorsements to state lawmakers, some of whom he said are committed to securing the border, on his Truth Social account.

Kimmel said that the majority of them were “all pretty much copy and paste jobs,” yet one name particularly stood out to the host.

“One of the people he endorsed is Stormy Bradley. Another Stormy? Who knows two Stormys? I wonder if he will write this Stormy a cheque, too,” he said.

“I would pay so much money to watch Donald Trump load a dishwasher.”
