Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trump for ‘falling asleep while Stormy Daniels testified about sleeping with him’

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has roasted Donald Trump for “falling asleep while Stormy Daniels testified about sleeping with him”, after jurors heard revealing testimony about the former president’s alleged tryst with the adult film star.

During hisopening monologue on Thursday night’s show, Mr Kimmel relished what marked the second day that Ms Daniels took to the witness stand to testify in the former president’s hush money trial in New York.

Describing her testimony as “Stormy Daniels’ Roast of Trump’s Penis”, he mocked Mr Trump and his legal team for their conduct in the courtroom.

“Trump fell asleep again multiple times,” he said. “He fell asleep while Stormy Daniels testified about sleeping with him.”

Mr Kimmel then took aim at defense attorney Susan Necheles’ attempts to discredit the witness during cross-examination.

“Team Trump spent much of the day trying to paint Daniels as a sleazy, money-grubbing liar and, if that’s true, you can see why they hit it off,” he said.

The host also observed it was “quite a day to be a stenographer”, reporting that the words “human toilet”, “orange turd” and “Make America Horny Again” had all been raised during Ms Daniels’ cross-examination – and will now live on in the official court record.

“Print those out and hang them on the Smithsonian wall!” he said.

Mr Kimmel went on to show a clip of Texas Senator Ted Cruz attempting to defend Mr Trump on Fox News by declaring: “There is no person on Planet Earth that believes Donald Trump has been celibate all his life.”

Noting that Mr Trump’s legal team had been busying trying to argue that the sexual encounter alleged by Ms Daniels never took place, Mr Kimmel quipped: “Thanks Ted! That’s going to make Mother’s Day with Melania a lot of
