Jimmy Kimmel Says Trump Handles Iran Like a Bad Date

In case you missed it, Jimmy Kimmel is back at it—cracking jokes at Donald Trump’s expense and not exactly pulling any punches. The late night host took his familiar aim at Trump’s approach to negotiating with Iran, using a, let’s say, creative comparison you wouldn’t catch in a State Department press briefing.

Dragging Trump, Again

Unless you’re new around here, you know Kimmel’s never been shy about going after Trump. He’s been pretty relentless on his show, and honestly, the White House is paying attention. Both Donald and Melania Trump have gotten personal in their pushback, even calling for ABC to show Kimmel the door after his past cracks about Melania looking like an 'expectant widow.' That dust-up actually happened just before that infamous shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner—timing that did not help Kimmel’s case in the public eye.

Still, despite plenty of blowback and demands for his firing, Kimmel’s not backing off.

Iran Negotiations—Now with More Sex Jokes

So what’s got Kimmel riled up this time? Trump’s latest attempts at an Iran deal. During his Wednesday night monologue, Kimmel sized up the president’s negotiation style—and, well, here’s the punchline:

'For him, a negotiation, it’s like sex. He’s bad at it. It mostly consists of flailing around. And he can only do it for a short amount of time before he starts yelling that he’s finished.'

Subtle? Not at all. But it’s classic late-night. Kimmel didn’t stop there. He took swings at White House reports that a breakthrough with Iran was supposedly around the corner, quipping about the wildly shifting details and even poking fun at their own uncertainty: 'The details of this supposed deal are still very much in flux—as in, what the flux are we doing over there?'

Another Spin on an Old Deal

Kimmel also pointed out the irony in Trump reportedly floating an Iran proposal that would limit uranium enrichment for more than a decade. This is, of course, an odd full-circle move considering Trump’s whole thing was panning the Obama-era nuclear deal as the 'worst deal in history.' Now he’s apparently trying to put together a version that Kimmel says is 'an even worse worst deal in history.' Or as Jimmy put it, 'It’s called "The Art of the Deal." Folks, you should read the book.'

Quick Cheat Sheet: The Core Jabs

• Kimmel directly mocked Trump’s Iran deal efforts with a sex metaphor (not subtle, but hey, it’s late-night TV).
• He reminded viewers the Trump crew once called the original nuclear agreement a disaster—now they’re on the verge of something similar, maybe even shakier.
• Kimmel threw in some wordplay about all the contradictory details coming out of the White House—and yes, he actually said 'what the flux.'
• Despite both Trumps calling him out and plenty of calls for his removal, Kimmel isn’t letting up and seems to be enjoying the crossfire.

There’s a real 'Hollywood meets D.C.' awkwardness to it all. But if you’re wondering whether the late-night war with the White House is over, well, you haven’t been watching. Kimmel’s still got plenty of material—especially if the negotiating doesn’t get any better.
