Donald Trump is melting down at 30,000 feet, and his legacy is crashing right alongside him.
As Air Force One descends back into Washington, D.C. from yet another taxpayer-funded Mar-a-Lago escape, Trump is ranting about MRI scans, gas prices, golden ballrooms, and imaginary “perfect” phone calls. On the ground, Bitcoin is tanking, the stock market is jittery, and Americans are still stuck living paycheck to paycheck in an economy Trump keeps insisting is “the best ever.”
But while Trump spirals in the sky, his son is getting dismantled on national television — again.
Outside a New York courthouse, protesters chant “CRIME FAMILY” as Donald Trump Jr. shuffles in to testify in a $250 million fraud case. Inside, he tries to reinvent himself as some misunderstood “business guy” who just trusted the accountants.
“I’m not an accountant. I’m a business guy,” he insists. The problem? Nobody’s buying it.
And one person in particular has made it his mission to make sure the country never buys it: Jimmy Kimmel.
For seven years now, Kimmel has been turning Don Jr. into a walking, talking punchline — not with one viral joke, but with a relentless pattern of humiliation across late night, social media, and live TV.
It started with a simple Twitter trap. Back in 2017, after Trump whined that late-night hosts were “unfunny” and too anti-Trump, Kimmel casually offered to trade jobs — Trump could have the show if he quit the presidency. Don Jr., desperate to defend Daddy, fired back with:
“Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? Asking for a friend.”
He thought he was clever. He thought he’d exposed “liberal hypocrisy.”
Instead, Kimmel vaporized him.
On air, Kimmel calmly pointed out that Hillary Clinton took money from two men later accused of serial abuse: Harvey Weinstein — and Donald Trump. He flashed pictures, laid out the receipts, then looked straight into the camera and offered Don Jr. some advice:
Next time you try to “trap” someone into defending a predator, maybe don’t do it on behalf of your dad.
That wasn’t a one-off. It was the opening salvo.
From there, Kimmel started dismantling the entire Don Jr. persona: the fake tough guy, the “I’m just a regular guy” act, the wannabe influencer ranting from what looks like a luxury bunker.
When Don Jr. showed up at the RNC looking like he’d just sprinted through a sauna — bloodshot eyes, sweaty face, twitchy delivery — social media lit up with one word: cocaine. Kimmel didn’t have to make accusations; he just rolled the tape in slow motion and let viewers connect the dots.
“When you’re in the splash zone of Guilfoyle,” Kimmel joked, “maybe that’s just what your face looks like now.”
When a SpaceX event caught Don Jr. on camera pulling his hand from his pocket and rubbing his fingers over his gums, Kimmel replayed it frame by frame:
“Maybe he’s got fun dip in there. Maybe his veneers needed a little Sensodyne.”
The point wasn’t to prove anything in court. It was to prove something to the public: this is not a serious person.
Kimmel mocked Don Jr.’s reported grooming for a 2024 presidential run — “They literally groom him like a dog” — and aired fake campaign-style promos with Don Jr. bragging that his name is on the building because it’s his dad’s name.
“He couldn’t run a Dunkin’ Donuts,” Kimmel said. “But sure, president.”
And every time Don Jr. tried to hit back, it only made things worse.
When he melted down online over Cracker Barrel dropping its mustached logo man, Kimmel roasted him as a “cosplay grits gobbler” — a New York prep school nepo baby playing dress-up as blue-collar America. When Don Jr. posted a meme mocking Zelensky with “POV: you’re 38 days from losing your allowance,” Kimmel torched him with one line:
“Bold words from a man definitely still on his father’s phone plan.”
Now, as Don Jr. walks into court hearings and public scandals with protesters chanting “crime family,” Kimmel’s years of work have done their damage. The image is set: not a successful heir, not a political heavyweight, but a sweaty, hyperactive, wildly overcompensating failson — forever chasing his father’s approval and forever falling short.
Trump can rage on Air Force One. Don Jr. can rant on Fox and post shaky videos from random garages. But in the court of public opinion, late-night has already entered the verdict.
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t just humiliate Donald Trump Jr. — he documented, in real time, why this family should never be anywhere near power again.
